Eau du Soir (for women)
Designer: Sisley Olfactive Group: Chypre Floral
!Eau du Soir is the second perfume by the house of Sisley and it is feminine, elegant and eternal. Its complex and rich composition is based on perfect harmony of contrasted lines: fresh citrus, sensual flowers, warm amber and musk. The bottle, with its golden stopper (made of 18 karat gold), was designed by Polish sculptor Branislaw Kryzstof.
The top notes are mandarin orange, grapefruit, spruce and carnation. The heart consists of seringo, jasmine, rose and lily-of-the-valley. Musk, amber and patchouli are in the base.
Countess Isabelle d’Ornano was given Eau de Soir as a gift by her husband, count Hubert d'Ornano in 1990. The count created a unique floral composition in the centre of which was Spanish flower seringa. Its fragrance, as in the case of many other types of white flowers, radiates an intense scent through night air and attracts night butterflies to pollinate it. The perfume was created to remind countess of her childhood in Spain. The name was chosen because of night flower seringe (in French, soir means evening). For several years Eau de Soir was countess' personal perfume and it was no sooner than 1999, after her friend persuaded her, that it was released for public.

When I began to touch Perfume, I found I have a special love with the group of Chypre especially chypre floral. I am confused why a twenties like this sent of maybe mama or granny used. Today when I saw this Sisley perfume I eventually konw the reason, that is, my mom always use this one whey I was youny. so I love this perfume too!

I don't get along with this one. I have this perfume as a gift and stays for my collection. It smells like my granny....

This is the best chypre and the most elegant perfume I have ever seen.

Oh my, what a spicy and cold Chypre! This fragrance is strong and strict, very long lasting. I imagine a serious self-confident business woman who is wearing a perfect black business suit wearing it. She's the boss!
How does it smell? On my skin it has a very sharp scent of pepper and fresh ginger first, later the smell of oakmoss and musk joins the composition and the drydown smells like the old hand-made aromatic soap which was lying in the grandma's wooden wardrobe for many years.
Eau du Soir is for a strong woman for sure. If you think you are the one, then it is a must try for you!
P.S. The bottle is a masterpiece, love it!

When I bought this I loved it and wore it and wore it. I thought I had found my Holy Grail of perfumes then, suddenly went off it bigtime. I still have a huge bottle of it almost half full and just cannot take to it any more,

I never thought I would like such a chypre fragrance. But I find Eau du Soir great!
It's strong, unhesitating, sophisticated and expressive, but simultaneously - modest.
A bit tart and a little haughty. Intelligent and elegant.
Ment for a woman with strong personality, for whom an easy solution is not enough. A woman who wants not only the adoration, but also respect.

I wore this for two years and find the comments about its heaviness surprising. I loved it from the moment I first tried it – it simply smelt luxe. However, on my skin it is weak and fades quite fast – which is a shame as there are so few evening perfumes with any class on the market. Where some perfumes are white linen shifts and others lurid lycra numbers, this one is a satin floor-length gown.

In my perception this perfume is one of the brightest, "biggest" and coldest Chypres. It is like bright cold light, refracting in the rigid sides of crystal: the smallest defect will be noticed and repeatedly reflected...
A LADY, who's wearing this perfume, should be perfect, like a Snow Queen.

Smells really heavy...I have a miniature of this perfume, I got it for my birthday a time ago.
If you like oriental perfumes that almost make you sneeze, you'll like this.

I tested Eau du Soir on my skin some days ago (I had always avoided this - don't know why)and I found it awesome! Elegant, yes, but deeply erotic at the same time! This is exactly how a woman should be. It took me back to parisian streets and cafes some time in the late 30s, 40s, or 50s perhaps. Well, close your eyes and imagine THE WOMAN. Then think of PARIS, the Paris you have seen in pictures and wished you had lived there. Now put "your woman" in "your picture", she is walking past you,it's winter, a cold, dark afternoon. Can you smell her? It's eau du Soir!

I love this perfume, and have been wearing it for six or seven years. I enjoy orientals, and this scent is technically included in that category.
My partner calls it "sex in a bottle" and rates it as a 10. He has never given any other perfumes a higher number than a 7.
It's both fresh and aromatic while at the same time sultry. The scent lasts for hours. And, it is made from only natural ingredients. Thank you Sisley for not lowering standards to make this perfume cheaply.
Pure class and joy.

Exceptional, elegance, noble, refined, wonderful. It's a queen of modern chypre scent.( Imo - Mitsouko Guerlan's is a queen of all chypre.)

The best fragrance, rich chypre, classy.

Unequalled elegance in a bottle. This is a rich, complex and refined scent, heavy on chypre and herbs. Differs noticeably from wearer to wearer. The perfect evening or occasion scent. Class.

This fragrance, I agree, is very classy. My grandmother wears it, and she's quite a proper, classy woman. It suits her. It doesn't go with me or my personality at all, but I love it (I used to hate it at first!). I have the mini, and every once in a while I will dab it on. I find it to be timeless, memorable, strong, classic, and confident. And yes, it does last long on the skin and clothing... it goes on strong, and stays strong.

I agree with Jeca.
Strong, long lasting, classy, beautiful....
It’s a pity that Sisley doesn’t create more perfumes, but from another side that is maybe an advantage - to have just a few but perfect perfumes.

Rich chypre with herbs, radiant and very long lasting.
