SIRENISViale Axel Munthe • Anacapritel/fax 081.837.2297www.sireniscapri.itinfo@sireniscapri.itFloriana’s EssencesOn Capri, the tangy sea breeze carries withit the scents of the land, which arecombined and transformed into aromaticessences by Floriana, enchanting all thosewho stroll along Viale Axel Munthe inAnacapri. It is here, in fact, that she hasopened her showroom for the creations ofthe Antiqva Fabrica Profvmi Sirenis.Maybe it was her desire to revive theantique recipes for fragrances she found inan old trunk that had once belonged to hergreat grandfather, Augusto Lovatti, or evenher very name that led Floriana to take thebasic essences of Capri’s flora and makeperfumes from them. In this venture, shehas always been flanked by her husbandSalvatore, with whom she has transformedthe old Casa di Pace into a bright andwelcoming showroom where the Sirenisproducts are on display.So the antique recipes for white musk andcinnamon, lemon and jasmine, rose andmimosa live on in her fragrances and hercandles in various shapes and colours.Fragrances that the island itself has alwaysemanated, and which Floriana and Salvatorehave captured to give to the world.129
