ABOUT SYNISCA
The Story Behind SYNISCA
Sport has always been my escape. The only real way to disconnect from the world and get out of my head.
Whether it be work, family commitments, unavoidable obligations: life always wants a piece of you. There have been difficult times when sport has been the only thing that has helped. Not a cure, just the release at a time when it was needed. That is why sport is and always has been a fundamental part of my life. And I want people to be able to carry that feeling with them long after the game has finished.
That is where and why SYNISCA began.
Our Philosophy & Name
Sports fragrances typically smell like what sport looks like from the outside - clean, fresh, aquatic. An afterthought and never the focus.
SYNISCA designs fragrances for individual sporting worlds by combining fragrance notes which reflect the emotions and feelings derived from specific sporting moments. A spray before work, after the match or ready for dinner: SYNISCA aims to bottle the joy, energy and escape sport brings in each SYNISCA fragrance which last long after the end of the game.
SYNISCA was named after Cynisca of Sparta, the first woman to win at the Olympic Games in 396 BC at a time when women were forbidden to participate on the sacred grounds on pain of death. Cynisca found a gap in the rules, entered the four-horse chariot race as the horse owner and trainer, and won. She entered again four years later. And won again. Taken with the prefix 'SYN' meaning 'together', the name SYNISCA brings together everything we stand for: strength, resilience and a desire to do something different.
The Launch Collection
Our launch collection includes Four Eau de Parfum: Dawn Eight, Deuce, Chukka and Nineteenth Hole. Capturing the essence of rowing, tennis, polo and golf worlds, our initial collection follows an emotional arc from the coldness of the river at four forty-five in the morning to the warmth of the golf clubhouse after the final round.
SYNISCA. For anyone who knows what sport gives back.
