The Story

This is the sweetest Guatemalan cardamom, rare ruh khus vetiver, black keemun tea oil, and vanilla absolute from madagascar. Unisex and versatile, it starts bright and spicy and dries down into a warm, sweet, and rich woody musk. An olfactory cashmere sweater: warm, soft, a constant favorite.

Short Story Long

Fig scents are often either green, meaning the bright, bitter bite of the fresh flesh of the fruit, or the stewed, jammy fig sweet with cooked, sugary fruit. Both can be marvelous.

In Sirius, we wanted to play up both facets of fig. At the top, an achingly beautiful cardamom from Guatemala, –somehow both sharp and smooth, bright and deep–is paired with bitter, green elemi resin. Topnotes are defined, in part, by their fleeting impact. But here, cardamom and elemi open Sirius with a bright burst, but stay with the wearer through the dry down, past the green fig opening into the soft chai velvet it becomes.

Consider Wearing This...

If you like your fragrance to envelop you like an expensive cashmere sweater.

According to our community— “for cuddling in the sheets OR playing in them ❤️🔥😮‍💨😈” @dallisong

“This is for the days I want to smell like the universe has me on its PR list: exclusive, expensive, and a LOTTLO bit disrespectful because Sirius doesn’t do minimal… but also completely acceptable” @aroma_antics
