The Sisley brand was established in 1976 by the Ornano family. Driven by their passion for plants and their amazing properties, Isabelle and Hubert d’Ornano envisioned skincare treatments and cosmetic products using 100% plant extracts. The expertise of the Sisley brand is rooted in herbal medicine. Their first perfume, Eau de Campagne, was created in 1976. Some of the other successful fragrances from Sisley include Eau du Soir, Soir d’Orient, Soir de Lune, and Izia. Sisley offers various water-based products, including Eau d’Ikar, Eau du Soir, Eau de Campagne, and Eau Tropicale.
Eau du Soir: The Fragrance Created for Isabelle d’Ornano
The Perfect Pairing: Eau du Soir
In 1990, Hubert d’Ornano decided to create a perfume specifically for his wife, Isabelle d’Ornano, called L’eau du Soir. Inspired by the Chypre fragrance family and crafted with delicate accords, Eau du Soir became one of Sisley’s most successful creations. As a declaration of his eternal love, Hubert d’Ornano envisioned Eau du Soir. The perfume bottle was designed to have a raw appearance yet featured a feminine and artistic sculpted head resembling a face, made of 18-carat gold.
This exquisite bottle, created by Polish artist Bronislaw Krzysztof, has remained the same since its launch, although Sisley introduces unique limited editions each year. The fragrance composition starts with sparkling and fresh notes of mandarin and grapefruit. The heart combines rose and jasmine, while the base reveals woody and amber tones through patchouli and amber notes. Eau du Soir is an astonishing and captivating fragrance that embodies the essence of the Sisley woman.
