About us

I grew up in the country, moved to London for work and never looked back. But city life comes with a weight. The pace, the noise, the screen that never switches off.

Sport has always been my escape. From the countryside to the gyms, courts and clubs of London, physical effort has given me something the city cannot always provide. Presence. Joy. The feeling of being completely in your body and out of your head.

There have been difficult times when sport has been the only thing that 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 feel that more than just (if they’re lucky) once or twice a week, amidst their busy and hectic life.

That is where and why SYNISCA began.

The sports fragrance category has existed for decades and never evolved. Every sports fragrance smells like what sport looks like from the outside. Clean, fresh, aquatic. Always second best to a main line of a Fragrance House and never the focus.

SYNISCA designs fragrances with individual sports at its core and combines fragrance notes to bottle how each of those sports make you feel. A spray before your morning run. After the match. Before dinner when you want to carry the feeling of the afternoon with you. The escape of sports, in each SYNISCA fragrance.

SYNISCA is named after Cynisca of Sparta, the first woman to win at the Olympic Games in 396 BC. The pre-fix ‘SYN’ means together. Together, the name SYNISCA brings together everything the brand stands for. The strength and resilience of Cynisca and SYN reflecting the collective worlds the brand was built on.

Our launch collection includes Four Eau de Parfum. Dawn Eight, Deuce, Chukka and Nineteenth Hole. Capturing the essence of rowing, tennis, polo and golf. Each one bottling the feeling of a different sporting world.

SYNISCA. For anyone who knows what sport gives back.
