SIU Gigil — a gourmand story with a fruity accent
SIU Gigil is a women’s eau de parfum launched in 2023 by the Dutch brand SIU.
The brand specializes in women’s and unisex fragrances, while Gigil reveals its love for expressive, modern and mouthwatering compositions.
The fragrance combines floral, fruity and gourmand facets, making it especially appealing to those who enjoy noticeable sweet accords with a soft, sunny mood.
SIU Gigil was created by three perfumers: Maud Chabanis, Baptiste Jomot and Xavier Blaisot.
This collaborative authorship can be felt in the composition’s layered structure: a fresh opening gradually turns creamy and gourmand, then gains floral depth before ending in a warm amber-caramel veil.
How the fragrance unfolds
The SIU Gigil pyramid opens with a contrast between citrusy freshness and mouthwatering nuances.
Bergamot adds a light sparkle to the opening, while coffee, milk, milk chocolate and peach create a soft, almost dessert-like accord.
Together, they smell dimensional rather than flat: juicy fruit meets a creamy texture and a subtle coffee bitterness.
Jasmine and plum emerge at the heart of the composition.
Jasmine makes the fragrance airier and more feminine, while plum adds a dark fruity nuance and creates a beautiful transition from the sweet opening to the warm base.
Sandalwood supports this part of the fragrance with a smooth woody tone.
The finish is built around amber, caramel and solar notes. The base leaves a soft, warm and slightly honeyed impression on the skin, while caramel emphasizes the perfume’s gourmand character.
As a result, SIU Gigil smells cozy, seductive and noticeable, but never harsh or heavy.
Character, sillage and wearability
In terms of mood, this is a feminine fragrance for those who enjoy sweet fruity-floral compositions with creamy and dessert-like nuances.
Its character can be described as playful, sensual and sunny: it is easy to imagine Gigil on an evening stroll, a date, a get-together with friends or at a festive occasion.
Thanks to its combination of coffee, chocolate, fruits and amber, the fragrance is particularly expressive in cool weather.
SIU Gigil has moderate sillage: it is noticeable around the wearer without trying to fill the entire space.
One to two sprays are enough for the skin, allowing the fragrance to develop gradually while maintaining a comfortable intensity.
One to two sprays are also recommended for clothing, with the distance and amount adjusted to the fabric.
What to compare SIU Gigil with
If you would like to explore fragrances with a similar mood, take a look at Mugler Angel Collector 2019.
As with SIU Gigil, you may enjoy its pronounced sweetness and distinctive gourmand character, although Gigil comes across as creamier, fruitier and softer.
Selection Excellence No 5 and CFFC Fragrances Mystery Secret are also worth considering for comparison.
SIU Gigil is a good choice for those looking for more than just a sweet perfume: it offers a gradual evolution from bergamot freshness and a coffee-chocolate accord to a plum-and-jasmine heart and a warm caramel-amber base.
This modern feminine fragrance has a distinctive gourmand signature and can become a striking accent to an everyday or evening look.
