Sirenide: A New Fragrance Inspired by Orcadian Folklore

This new addition to the esteemed Force Majeure collection invites wearers on a sensory journey inspired by ancient tales and the untamed spirit of the sea.
Unleash Your Inner Selkie: A Scent of Transformation and Empowerment
The Mystical Origins: Tales of Selkies and the Scottish Isles
The genesis of this unique fragrance lies in the ancient folklore of Orkney, an archipelago nestled north of Scotland. Here, local legends speak of Selkies, enigmatic beings capable of transforming from seals to humans. These creatures shed their aquatic skins to venture onto land, often becoming entangled in human affairs. The myths frequently recount how human men would discover and conceal a Selkie's discarded skin, thereby compelling her into marriage. However, BeauFort London's interpretation of this narrative takes a dramatic turn, empowering the Selkie to reclaim her destiny.
A Tale Reimagined: Betrayal, Vengeance, and Reclamation
In BeauFort London's compelling rendition, the Selkie, horrified by the desecration of her precious skin, exacts her revenge. She poisons her human captor, repossesses her cherished leather, and ultimately returns to the tumultuous embrace of the ocean. This powerful narrative of betrayal, vengeance, and ultimate liberation serves as the conceptual cornerstone for Sirenide, infusing the fragrance with an aura of formidable strength and haunting beauty.
Sirenide's Olfactory Profile: A Symphony of Intriguing Notes
Sirenide Eau de Parfum is an expertly crafted aroma designed to embody this potent narrative. It presents itself as a suitably formidable fragrance, both potent and evocative, featuring a multi-layered development that mirrors the concept of 'skins' transforming on the wearer. The scent intricately blends the unique notes of PVC, the refined texture of pinseal leather, and an unsettling, yet compelling, bitter almond accord. These are complemented by the ephemeral bloom and decay of water flowers, suggesting a continuous cycle of life and return to the aquatic depths.
The Artistry of Scent: Euan McCall's Vision
The intricate composition of Sirenide was brought to life by the talented perfumer Euan McCall. Beyond the initial captivating notes, the fragrance further unfolds with a complex array of additional accords. These include the delicate touch of iris, the fresh aroma of water hawthorn, the subtle spice of aniseed, the serene scent of water lily and lotus, the oceanic warmth of ambergris, the earthy richness of cedar, and the herbaceous greenness of woodruff. This harmonious blend creates a truly memorable and distinctive olfactory experience.
