A gentle, elusive marine floral, named after sweet-voiced mermaids. In Sirena, the salty breeze carries delicious wafts of fantasy fruit mixed with the intoxicating fragrance of oleanders.
Notes from the brand:
“Minorca, the birthplace of Juan Famenias Floris and home of the bronze mermaid of Mahon, was the inspiration for this creation. The scent captures the spirit and warmth of this sun-kissed Mediterranean island, and its rich flora lingering on a gentle sea breeze. A distillation of summer memories.”
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Sirena suits close, unhurried moments where the air is warm and the setting feels slightly dreamlike: a scent that reads as skin, breeze and flowers rather than a loud statement. It gives the impression of someone moving through summer evening light with a calm, magnetic presence.
How to wear
Best in spring and summer, especially in mild to warm weather where its marine transparency can open up cleanly on skin. Apply lightly to let the sea-salt freshness and floral heart stay airy; a few sprays are enough for a soft, elegant trail that feels more intimate than expansive.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like marine florals with a sensual, translucent finish rather than sharp aquatic brightness. It will appeal to those drawn to romantic, Mediterranean-leaning scents with floral softness, gentle salinity and a refined, slightly mysterious character.

The nose
Floris’s in-house perfumery team, led by Edward Bodenham with Penny Ellis and Nicola Pozzani. Edward Bodenham represents the ninth generation of the Floris family and the house’s living continuity, while the team approach reflects Floris’s long-standing preference for measured, refined compositions shaped in-house rather than by celebrity perfumers. Floris is known for elegant, classical structures with a polished British restraint, and Sirena fits that lineage: a fragrance built for clarity, balance and atmosphere rather than overt sweetness. The in-house team’s role here is to translate a place and a legend into a wearable marine floral with a soft sensual trail.
Collaborators
Edward Bodenham helped shape the fragrance as the brand’s ninth-generation family custodian and in-house nose, guiding the concept from Floris’s heritage and creative brief. Penny Ellis and Nicola Pozzani worked alongside him in the in-house perfumery team to build the composition and balance its marine freshness with floral warmth.
Floris’s story
Floris is a heritage British house defined by family continuity, discreet elegance and careful craftsmanship. Its fragrances are built with a respect for tradition, but they are rarely static: the brand often turns to places, people and stories as creative anchors, then renders them in polished, finely tuned compositions.
Sirena’s concept
Sirena was inspired by Mô, the bronze mermaid of Mahón in Menorca, the island linked to Floris founder Juan Famenias Floris. The fragrance translates that Mediterranean setting into scent: sea breeze, sun-warmed flora and a sense of romantic longing, with the mermaid image giving the composition its elusive, feminine character.
Extra info
Sirena was released in 2011 and takes its name from the sirens of myth, echoing the brand’s mermaid inspiration. It belongs to Floris’s modern collection and was created as a floral marine fragrance with a distinctly Menorcan story at its core.
