Launched in 2007 by Memo Paris and crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet, Siwa is an Oriental fragrance for women that weaves together warmth and subtlety. The composition opens with a bright green freshness from cinnamon leaf before transitioning into the soft floral heart of narcissus and freesia. This delicate bouquet is enveloped in a warm, powdery base of sandalwood, incense, musk, vanilla, and benzoin, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive.

Application Tips
Siwa's powdery base notes take time to fully bloom on the skin, so it’s best applied an hour before you need it. The fragrance reads better close to the skin rather than filling a room, making it perfect for a day at work or a quiet evening at home.
