Song of the Siren (No. 49)
by Tokyo Milk Parfumerie Curiosite
Song of the Siren is a distinctive aquatic rose fragrance with strong marine and green notes, evoking a mermaid-like aura. It features a fresh, clean, and chilled character that feels like a blend of sea air, cut grass, rose water, and mandarin citrus. While some find it deeply evocative—comparing it to a summer beach walk, a mermaid siren, or a luxurious spa experience—others perceive it as harsh or synthetic, likening it to laundry detergent or clean steroid sprays. The scent is most effective in warm weather and during daytime hours, offering moderate longevity and sillage. It’s noted for being uniquely underwhelming for those with a love for traditional rose scents, yet it confidently stands apart from typical floral fragrances due to its aquatic-green profile. The packaging is praised as visually appealing, though the scent itself proves divisive.
