Maria Candida Gentile Sideris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Maria Candida Gentile. Sideris opens with Pepper, Saffron, Labdanum, and Myrrh, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Sandalwood, Beeswax, and Benzoin. Maria Candida Gentile's Sideris carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Sideris is a unique, comforting embrace of ancient rituals and pastoral sweetness. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent; some find it a sublime, personal indulgence, others find its sweet, churchy incense too much for public wear. Embrace its quirks, and you might just fall head over heels.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Imagine ancient stone walls and polished woods, infused with years of burning incense and sweet, melting beeswax. Saffron and labdanum create a resinous warmth, while a delicate rose note unfurls. It's a complex, evolving scent that travels from dry, peppery spice and herbal tea to a beautifully soft, honeyed balsamic and woody drydown.
