SILLAGE X
SILLAGE X
Created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Manos Gerakinis Parfums, SILLAGE X is a thoughtful, yet positively joyful olfactive reflection on the passage of time and what remains timeless. Referencing the name of our very first fragrance, Sillage Royal, and echoing classic vetiver-centered masterpieces, SILLAGE X captures the eagerness and optimism for life’s upcoming adventures through a suave, gender-fluid blend of vitalizing, rejuvenating notes. The fragrance further reflects some of the fondest scent memories of our founder and creative director, Manos Gerakinis: the kind of refined, “masculine” marketed perfumes that fascinated him as he was growing up —fragrances that many women, too, loved wearing, defying gender labels.
A blast of radiant, sun-kissed Mediterranean citruses (bergamot, lemon, mandarin) paves the way for the uplifting freshness of the vetiver, the star ingredient of SILLAGE X. A halo of stimulating, yet comforting spices (black pepper, cardamom, fennel seed) adds tonifying energy, while the soulful aura of the orris teases out the vetiver’s rooty aspect. A grounding base (cedarwood, moss, patchouli) underlines the vetiver’s earthiness, with a breezy vibe that sustains the spirit of joyousness. Finally, touches of glowing amber, sensuous leather, and skin-evoking musks add an aura of sophisticated, irresistible seductiveness.
An ode to evergreen elegance, SILLAGE X blends together the enduring charm of the past, the exhilarating dynamism of the present, and the alluring mystery of the future.
