Giveaway: Paris Hilton Siren

Paris Hilton recently launched her sixth fragrance for women — Siren. You have probably seen the ads with Paris looking like a beautiful mermaid. The gorgeous bottle also has the shape of a mermaid’s tail. The fragrance features notes of mandarin, apricot nectar, frangipani, honeysuckle, coconut orchid, water lily, vanilla beans, sandalwood and creamy musk. It’s a fruity floral that opens very sweet.
You definitely can smell the florals and the tropical aroma too but as it lingers, the remaining fragrance is a sweet candy-like scent. It’s not overwhelming and very fresh. Siren is definitely one of my favorites from Paris.
