Sorce Song of a Siren

Product Overview

Song of a Siren by Sorce is a dark aquatic gourmand created by assistant perfumer Julia Haddon and inspired by the mythology of the siren.

The fragrance reclaims the image of the seductive, dangerous siren, transforming a figure historically associated with the weaponisation of sensuality into a celebration of bodily freedom and unrestrained passion. Its composition is deliberately built around contrasts, placing the cold, briny atmosphere of the ocean against rum, vanilla and the golden warmth of immortelle.

Aquatic yet gourmand, Song of a Siren moves between cool oceanic depths and intoxicating warmth, creating a fragrance that feels both atmospheric and sensual.

What Does Song of a Siren Smell Like?

Song of a Siren opens with salty sea air sweeping across black water lily, creating a cool, briny floral impression with a distinctly aquatic character.

Barrel-aged rum brings warmth and richness to the heart, while immortelle adds its characteristic dry, golden sweetness. Together they shift the fragrance away from the cool oceanic opening and towards something warmer, deeper and subtly gourmand.

In the dry down, vanilla absolute creates a smooth, softly sweet finish against the deeper resinous warmth of dark amber. The result is an unusual aquatic gourmand where salty sea air and dark florals meet boozy rum, immortelle, vanilla and amber.

When to Wear Song of a Siren

Song of a Siren's contrast between cool marine notes and warm gourmand depth makes it unusually versatile across the seasons. The salty sea air and water lily work beautifully in spring and summer, while rum, vanilla and dark amber give it enough richness for autumn and cooler evenings.

It is particularly suited to evenings, holidays and occasions when you want something atmospheric and unconventional rather than a traditional sweet gourmand or fresh aquatic.
