Descripción

Eau du Soir by Sisley is a floral chypre fragrance for women. Launched in 1990, this composition was created by Jeannine Mongin, Hubert d'Ornano and Isabelle d'Ornano. In its top notes, bergamot and mandarin give way to a complex heart where oakmoss, juniper, patchouli, pepper, carnation, iris, rose, cornflower, French labdanum, jasmine, valley lily and ylang-ylang intertwine. The perfume settles on a base of musk and amber.

  • Eau du Soir is exciting, one of those perfumes that seem made of sensitivity and passion. When I smell it, I feel I am in the presence of a serious and meaningful work, of those that elevate art. It inspires me the deepest respect… It seems like a kind of homage, a flattering and almost idyllic portrait of previous decades’ chypres. Smelling it is like contemplating a medieval scene painted by some romantic of the 19th century. It seems like a luxurious perfume in the manner of a great Romanesque stone church, soberly imposing and without artifices, but majestic. It does not recall those other Baroque ones where the plaster and wood try to be marble and gold. It is the perfume of my mother for special occasions since a friend gave it to her in the 90s and fortunately she keeps it intact against all the ugly, boring and routine of everyday life. It is steeped in happy memories. It is expensive, but I think it is worth it, because besides being a great perfume, its performance is very good and its bottle, one of the most beautiful I have seen. As it seems quite unisex and kinder than others, I think this perfume can fit and suit young people too. It makes me think of those girls or ladies with sober tastes, who would dye themselves only a natural colour, who renounce putting on much make-up and who believe that the beautiful thing is to wear little perfume and few jewels, but always of quality. They can have sober and natural tastes, but they do not renounce luxury. They are elegant and affable. They have not a shred of haughtiness, because they do not need to prove anything or reaffirm themselves. They are discreet, but they attract attention in a natural way. Eau du Soir has one of the most beautiful openings I have ever smelled. Humidity and light. It starts misty, woody, very humid, fresh, cold and of a dark green… but it has a golden point of warmth and light that makes its way with a sumptuous patchouli, flowers and a somewhat resinous and camphorated note. The whole is consistent but it seems vaporous to me. It has a romantic and 19th-century point… I imagine an eagle soaring over a forest during a sunset. Also an English garden, meticulously disordered, with stone urns on balustrades overflowing with curly herbs. If I had to put music to it, I would choose the first movement of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1. From the very moment it seems good for your lungs to breathe it. There is nothing in it that my nose wants to filter, it devours it. I am sure I will wear it one day, it is one of my favourites and I have a story with it. As I have given it ten points madly, in these cases what happens happens… 11/10

  • EAU DE SOIR DE SISLEY is one of the most beautiful perfumes I have ever known. Unfortunately, my budget only allowed for a gifted sample. If I could, I would immerse myself in EAU DE SOIR and never leave that autumnal forest again. I venture to think that the secret of this exquisite quality lies in the fact that the company founded by the couple Hubert and Isabelle D’Ornano has loved and cared for their products with such extreme attention that the results are evident. Nothing to do with current bestsellers created for quick consumption and producing a multitude of flankers to recover the investment in Julia Roberts or Cate Blanchett. The opening of EAU DE SOIR DE SISLEY is a citrus explosion of grapefruit and tangerine within an almost aldehydic chromatic pentagram. Gradually, with the mastery of a supreme product, floral notes of a creamy and dreamy texture appear. It is said that Hubert created the perfume based on wild rose, so that Isabelle could remember her childhood among Andalusian gardens. EAU DE SOIR DE SISLEY is an act of love dedicated to his wife and which took time to be marketed. But curiously, it does not remind me of the gardens of the Generalife or the Alcazars, as in the olfactory chromatic palette woody aromas of moss, fern, juniper, lichen, vetiver and conifers appear. Trying to evoke the gardens of southern Spain, in my mind appears the clearing of a northern European forest, perhaps of Isabelle’s native Poland, illuminated by the dim rays of an autumn sun, among mists and fairy dust, where the music of ‘Peer Gynt’s Morning’ awakens the faun from his siesta, the prelude to love. The scent of EAU DE SOIR DE SISLEY is an experience that must be felt at least once in a lifetime. It is not a fragrance with an excessive trail but with a dilated longevity. The man or woman who wears EAU DE SOIR DE SISLEY will project an image of distinction, of class, of elegance and of simplicity at the same time. Inès de la Fressange or George Sanders would be suitable to wear EAU DE SOIR, and of course, Isabelle D’Ornano herself.

  • Emorandeira

    Eau du Soir is a charismatic perfume. Born in the golden age of perfumery, it did not follow the trends of oriental and fresh citrus fragrances that existed at that time. And that is because Sisley has never followed trends. It has always been faithful to its spirit of creating natural fragrances following the French perfumery tradition. It is a fragrance that smells of nature, with a fresh opening that quickly evolves into very deep, woody vegetal nuances. Although it has flowers in its composition, I perceive it as green, vegetal and mossy. It is the scent of a forest with soapy tints. It is a dry, incisive and very elegant fragrance. In its evolution, it is harmonious from the beginning to the end of the dry down. It never loses its identity nor does any harsh note appear. A fragrance worn by royalty, singers and celebrities, it is accessible to everyone today thanks to good offers from perfumeries. I see it as unisex and directed at a mature man or woman of elegant bearing, and it suits the day, although the name translates as Evening Water. The trail and projection are sublime and the longevity is the best. A fragrance with presence. A masterpiece.

  • Definitely my favourite perfume. Since a shop assistant gave me a sample when I bought another perfume and told me ‘try it, although it is a women’s fragrance, the effect on a man’s skin is very interesting and it is becoming fashionable in northern Europe among the lads’. ‘Well yes!’ I tried it and fell in love. Moreover, it was the first time in my life I wore a perfume to go out and throughout the night I was able to feel my own scent trail as if I had just applied it. Definitely one of the very best on the market. And yet, at first, I was about not to wear it because I thought ‘it smells like my grandmother’ hahaha. But no, the perfume evolves in a fascinating way and maintains an energy throughout the time it lasts, making it totally unisex despite being a floral chypre. I want to buy it but it is out of my budget. For the moment I have bought an equivalent which, although it is not the same, especially regarding the trail, at least takes the itch away while I save the necessary money. From summer onwards I hope to become a new Sisley lad. Alongside Dior Homme Intense and Black Orchid by Tom Ford, the best of current perfumery for me, until someone shows me something better…

    What quality, what elegance, and what a difference. There are perfumes that please, others that enchant, and very few that, from the very first second, trigger a click in your mind and leave you thinking ‘my god, this is another level’. There is more art than perfume in Eau du Soir. It opens with a luminous green moss. It feels very aromatic and herbaceous (I am surprised that citrus notes are not higher up in the pyramid than users perceive). It seems like a simple scent but is packed with nuances. A hint of lemongrass, like a golden whisper and vegetal. Clean patchouli, similar to Shiseido in Zen. A touch of resin, perhaps pine. At times, very faintly, I sense a background of artisanal gin, the clear kind, the ones that taste of distilled herbs; a tiny bitter touch. But this perfume is all light. Although it is clearly a chypre, I do not consider it retro in the least. Nor is it anything youthful: if you are under 30, it is not for you, unless you have tonnes of aplomb and an overflowing personality. It is elegant women’s perfume (not posh; often the posh set is at odds with true class), strong and sober. If you do not possess those qualities and wear it, you will be betraying its spirit. It is very difficult to feel that you are up to this perfume. I am sure I will buy it. I do not know how long it will take, because first I must mature a little more, feel fulfilled and independent; secure and successful. A masterpiece.

  • rafajurado

    Its opening is sparkling… imposing and it stays that way for over an hour… then just as long for another… and then for another. Haha! What I mean to say is that it has me fascinated; what an entertaining aroma and what indisputable quality. It is expensive, yes… is it worth it? For me, yes. Will I cherish it? Yes!!! Haha, but I will also enjoy it immensely every time I apply it. Recommended 100%…

  • LA MAISON SISLEY CHAPTER I: Eau Du Soir. I admit that until now I was content merely reading other people’s reviews without writing one myself. Over time, some reviewers became my favourites, surprising me with their styles and olfactory knowledge. Beyond the aesthetic, they helped me find pieces for my collection. My romance with Maison Sisley came crashing down when, guided by those reviews, I went to seek out Eau Du Soir. A sales assistant offered me a sample, and my hopes sank; I realised that I and my favourite writers live in different olfactory dimensions. I was not disgusted by the composition; I simply could not discern a perfume within that variegated and cacophonous band. Its scent tormented me like a natural disaster. It is certainly not synthetic. I suppose my brain lacks the region to find harmony in such an over-the-top fragrance. The fault is mine. I admit it, for in that very place where I felt more alone than Robinson Crusoe, two discoveries emerged: two Sisley wonders that slipped into my heart like kittens. They made me so happy that I forgot about the Southern Water. To be continued… in CHAPTER II: Izia by Sisley.

  • I’d like to draw Chris Mannix’s attention, or anyone else commenting on this fragrance, to the fact that ‘Eau de Soir’ translates to ‘Night Water’ in Spanish. Perhaps they discovered that the notes are enhanced as night falls, making them more exquisite and turning Eau de Soir into an unforgettable scent?

  • Chris Mannix

    A refined fragrance of great olfactory richness, elegant and timeless. Very intense and classic. For classic, elegant and feminine women. Recommended for evening wear. With an eternal longevity…

  • VainillaDulce

    While Sisley’s Eau de Soir is my favourite scent, I’d like to thank Chris Mannix for such a beautiful and sincere review. Everyone has their own world, and it’s perfectly normal that what one person loves another may not. What I truly appreciate is how Chris expressed his negative opinion with exquisite respect for those who adore it. That’s what Fragrantica always emphasises: criticisms are valid as long as they don’t turn into personal, uncivilised arguments.

  • Natalylopez

    If asked what fragrance embodies all that French charm and class, without a doubt I answer: Eau Du Soir by Sisley. Today it elevates me, I am wrapped in an elegant, natural, strong, and aristocratic aura; although I’m wearing an executive suit, I feel in a simple dark blue silk dress, like a polished diamond. It is difficult to understand and love, but if it captivates you, it will keep you captive. It requires a bold or educated nose to see its beauty among the thorns, but is a rose not beautiful with all its thorns? It is totally unisex: at the start it is rough and harsh, but that passes quickly. Potent, even aggressive, citrus top notes that give way to sour orange, grapefruit, and lime. Then comes a cosmetic but natural iris, a stunning rose, white flowers, labdanum, and a lordly oakmoss, absolutely real. There is juniper, pepper, and a clean musk. It transmits suspended particles that intoxicate you. Everything has shine and protagonism. Longevity exceeds 12 hours and projection is moderate. Give it a chance, tame it, and it will be very yours.

  • Lilmonroe

    An old-fashioned and antiquated scent, super strong and not feminine at all, more super masculine. An unbearable and unpleasant fragrance for me, and look how much I love perfumes, but I just can’t with this one.

  • Flagship perfume of Sisley; I was told Lady Diana used it. The opening is strong, woody, and spicy, nothing modest. It seemed very ladylike with a strong personality. The surprise is that after hours it softens, flowers emerge, the bad moment passes, and the carnation and iris arrive to relax. In that mood it is pleasant. Always elegant and of quality, but the start isn’t for me. Ideal for women over 35, with a taste for characterful and present aromas.

  • Eau du Soir smells of royalty. It’s not subjective: it is said that Queen Letizia keeps it in her dressing table alongside ‘Aire de Loewe’, and that the last Princess of Wales used it before public appearances. Upon spraying, for the first half-hour, oakmoss, pepper, and refined juniper dominate. After two hours, delicate flowers emerge and it finishes with grapefruit. I like to add patchouli for more earthiness. They say it’s unisex, others that it’s feminine or masculine. It reminds me of a walk through the Real Alcázar in Seville with blooming oranges or an afternoon in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The bottle, with an 18k gold cap, was designed by Polish sculptor Kryzstof Branislaw after he was captivated in Paris; they chose the face of the ‘cosmic woman’. Longevity is eternal and projection is excellent; it wins at long distances. A real treasure 10/10.

  • Sublime and majestic. Elegant without being loud, distinguished, charismatic, and complex. It is my favourite perfume, only for special occasions or weekends. It is too exquisite for the office, although wearable in any season. More nocturnal because the night lends itself to the special. Sweet lovers won’t understand it and I wouldn’t recommend it, but when it conquers a nose, it is eternal love.

  • My latest acquisition! I LOVE IT! It might stay forever, although the price makes you think. It smells dark, feminine, deep, and elegant, just as I like: no sweetness or fruit. I think it’s a first step towards niche and I’ve got it more right with this than the first one. Squeezing my purse, it’s worth it. I love the top and base notes: herbs, iris, moss, roses, and musk.

  • FranSeatJones.

    I have a miniature. The first time it was a sour acid that repelled me. I let time pass and the acidity settled. Several months later, I noticed more nuances, although it doesn’t have good chemistry with my skin. A sharp carnation appears, like fruit cut outdoors, mixed with moss and dry iris. After 40 minutes the carnation fades, but the moss remains acidic. At 2 hours, on warm skin, it starts to have charm, like Guerlain’s Mitsouko: an unbearable acidic profile at the start. Perhaps the dry-down is beautiful, but the first hour is unbearable. PS: Josesan says it’s an ‘autumn forest’, a good reference to wet foliage and afternoon sun. PS: My miniature is vintage, with an unpredictable wildness that I don’t like. I hope current formulas are more stable and more to my taste.

  • jerry drake

    I see myself as Margo Channing in ‘All About Eve’, the best film, wearing this perfume. She is intelligent, solitary, and ambitious until Eva arrives. Eau du Soir has its own identity: it is notorious, a little arrogant but brilliant. It feels green, elegant, dark, and dirty. A perfect chypre, not for everyone. It is totally matinal; it highlights the oakmoss, pepper, lily, and a predominant juniper. It is love with clear terms.

  • Radiant and sophisticated, Eau du Soir is a modern, luxurious chypre. At first, the grapefruit and mandarin put me off, but then we became friends. After the citrus opening, the juniper becomes the star: fresh, foamy, cool, and charismatic. It blends iris, amber, patchouli, and oakmoss; it smells of confidence and decadence. The citrus lasts a long time, the flowers are green rather than herbaceous. Projection is moderate but with excellent longevity; a full night without needing to reapply. Although it’s marketed for women, it smells unisex and contemporary. Worth it if there’s a deal: it smells of class and abandon, not as feminine as it appears.

  • Respecting the experts, I’d say it smells like a French cologne from the 60s: musty and solely amber. I don’t like it at all; it’s an old-fashioned masculine scent that simply isn’t for me.

  • Afternoon water… What to say of the mega-opinionated fragrance already. Quality, it has it; elegant, it is; unisex, in my opinion, absolutely. Declared notes, all of them, and for me two more, fruity, which last an instant. Value: expensive, yes. Personal appreciation: with all due respect, it will never be a Saint of my devotion. Its complex composition causes me a headache, as if they were stirring my stomach in a pot. Yes, it gives me nausea. I don’t know why, but that’s what happens to me. Finally, I suggest smelling every perfume on the skin before buying it. For those of us who love fragrances, they are like jewels 💎; when buying a piece of jewellery, we always try it before. A perfume should provoke us the same. If it provokes us at least 50% of what I try to transmit, it’s a wonderful sign to buy it. As I’ve bought perfumes since I was 16, I assure you that you will NOT REGRET following this rule. Greetings to the #FraganAdicts and #FraganAholics. Hugs and enjoy that life is Beautiful 😍. Poly.

  • I’m going to disagree with the majority. I agree with @Narix: it’s a lady’s chypre from another era, a recipe heard a thousand times, cloying, sickly sweet, heavy, of vulgar and crushing elegance. Perhaps they were original 70 years ago, but not today. It begins with a stomach-turning sweetness and evolves into the acidic and earthy. It’s built on a heavy curtain of amber, iris (which doesn’t suit my skin) and moss, behind which other notes are drowned; of the little I detect behind that woodsy curtain is the carnation. Longevity and trail are colossal. Very invasive, careful, it can be annoying. One application lasts me the whole day, about 6-7 hours. The first hours are strictly feminine, the dry-down more unisex but still cloying.

  • The perfume of my beloved and eternal Princess Diana. It’s pure elegance, sublime, with its 18-carat gold cap. Recommended for any season and demands elegance to wear it. I consider it unisex, long-lasting and for special occasions. The bottle is a work of art and the perfume is an impact of elegance, a bottled jewel. It’s not sweet, but it’s not shy; it has a lovely trail and great longevity. It’s a true jewel.

  • Isabel Pantoja’s perfume… It always seemed unisex to me and it strikes me that they focused it only on women. It’s woody, very green, the moss is noticeable and almost dominates alongside the juniper. Carnation, labdanum and something floral, but totally unisex. I’ve worn it and it ends up overwhelming me if I wear it myself, but it fascinates me when I smell it on someone else. It’s very long-lasting; if I put it on in the afternoon, I can still smell it the next morning. Giant trail for the first hour, then moderate for over 10 hours. It’s atypical and I don’t think it has a great niche, but if women use it, they’ll find it hard to replace.

  • MissOlores

    Floral chypre, elegant, dry and fine. It has a beautiful dry-down. I don’t think it’s absolutely ‘masculine’. Perhaps it’s difficult to understand for noses accustomed to sweet perfumes.

  • 90s grandiloquence: velvet chalets, large earrings with elegant ‘hippie’ touches. It smells to me like soap shops and gifts from that era, where everything was special. I imagine a shop assistant in Vietnamese cloth, pre-Columbian jewellery and precious sandals. All elegant, expensive and ethnic, very pompous. It smells vintage classic to me and connects with the world of Cacharel’s Eden. It’s a generous classic floral chypre; by the way, I think it’s Isabel Pantoja’s perfume.

  • I discovered it years ago at a work dinner; a colleague wore it and it fascinated me. My first bottle was 30ml for the price, but it’s worth every euro. It smells clean and soapy, very similar to Clinique’s Aromatic Elixir (which I discovered later with relief to see it was similar and cheaper). Eau de Soir is softer and subtler. I love it so much I have a bar of soap with that scent kept in a wooden box; every time I open it, the scent remains the same. It’s an essential in my collection, I use it when getting ready or at important meetings. Moderate trail but noticeable at medium distance. Recommended.

  • I’ve been in love with this perfume for over 20 years. It’s my ideal: delicate yet deep, it gives me true pleasure. It has personality and stands out from the mass of current fragrances which are unrecognisable. The only thing holding me back is the price, but I treat myself to a bottle every couple of years.

  • sinestesia

    What a while since finding something interesting! It’s very close to what I’m looking for. It’s wood and light, changes with the hour of the day and is noticeable, but nothing heavy. Now I only have a mini. If the current version smells as good, I’ll fall head over heels.

  • I’m sorry, Fragrantica, but Eau de Soir smells like pine car air freshener. I admit it: it smells like a taxi, artificial car, and gives me a headache. I imagine freshly scrubbed terrazzo bathroom with radioactive pine detergent. I feel bad for its fans who pay good euros to Sisley, but for me this is a chemist’s aisle, nothing of romantic evenings or opulent distinction.

  • locadelosperfumes

    What I like most about this fragrance is its mossy aroma at the beginning and soapy in its dry-down. It reminds me of an elegant person over 35, very confident in themselves. It seems somewhat dark, as if I were in a forest in autumn at dusk. I have a perfumed deodorant I use as if it were an eau de parfum. It has great longevity and trail. It does not resemble any other perfume I have tried. It is on another level.

  • LosPerfumesDeJavi

    Well, it is true that it reminds me of Clinique’s Aromatics Elixir, but Eau du Soir is finer, more elegant, in a way. Aromatics Elixir is rougher, more potent, with much more presence and projection. I went to try it solely because of the comparisons given here with the Clinique one, and it is indeed true. I still prefer Aromatics Elixir because Eau du Soir does not give me that imposing presence that Aromatics has. This is a gentleman’s perfume, very fine, very elegant, and luxurious.

  • The first time I tested it on blotting paper, it seemed fresh, soapy, floral, nothing unisex as I had read in reviews, more like one of those 80s-90s feminine bombs. However, when I put it on my wrist and let it pass for a few hours, I noticed that fresh, green, woody aroma, perfectly unisex, extremely elegant. I imagine wearing it at some reception on a spring-autumn afternoon. Adding to this, on blotting paper, I found a resemblance to Eau Revée d’Isa, like a more potent version of this.

  • SugarPlumFairy

    I started using it at 28, and today, at almost 32, I still use it because it simply seems a delight. I wish it were my signature perfume, but it is so expensive that I cannot afford to use it as I would like. It is divine; it makes me feel powerful, imposing, almost like a mythological goddess. Once what happened to Clems happened to me; I entered the office and from the corner of my eye saw a colleague covering her nose as if she smelled some pestilence. I just laughed and understood that one must take things as they come, just as the famous saying goes: ‘What can you expect from a donkey but a kick’.

  • If you like potent perfumes and are over 30, this is YOUR perfume. This would be my advertising slogan for this brew. I have it, I use it only in winter; it is a perfume that leaves a trail, a work of art from the past, as perfumes like this are no longer made, although thinking about it more, I got the impression of standing before a Clinique perfume, the Elixir, extremely similar; I would say they are twins. It is not a perfume for every day (in my opinion); I do not feel the mandarin and grapefruit anywhere, but the lily, labdanum, and jasmine are very noticeable, and the amber flows in this perfume during the dry-down. It is not a perfume for me; I am very fond of fresh, aquatic, oceanic, and white floral fragrances, so I have it because I must have a fragrance in my wardrobe that is different from everything else and that my nose does not get used to all I own. I resort to it very rarely, and it is true that it flatters your presence with a sophistication made of jewels. Its price says it all; a fine and expensive jewel.

  • Benjamin Alamo - 1389

    I want to start with the atomiser of this perfume; it is sublime; a perfect mist that gives way to white flowers, mainly lily of the valley. Its aroma is so natural, the carnation note is also felt but not overwhelming. Extremely elegant, I recommend it for a classic, impeccable, and perfect person…

  • I expected a lot after reading and hearing reviews, but as always. Try it before buying because reviewers can sometimes be fanciful. I tried it on a hot and humid day (summer in Uruguay) and it lasted a bit more than two hours on my skin, where I only smelled soap and nothing else. However, a friend who smelled it on me noticed more nuances. For the same reason, ask them to wear it and go for a walk before deciding whether to buy it or not. Sincerely, if I had bought it blindly, I would have used it anyway, perhaps in a different season.

  • Gabriela Zephora

    The more perfumes we test, the more conscious and selective we become when buying, because we cannot spend a lifetime on thousands of scents we may have smelled and desired, but for some, those with a soul that embrace you and tell beautiful stories, we do leave a mark. Eau du Soir is a classic, a green chypre, soapy, not sweet, something cold and powdery from the iris. It opens with citrus, many plants, rosemary and juniper, and then you are seduced by carnations slightly sprinkled with pepper; there are roses, tender ylang-ylang flowers, a shy lily of the valley, jasmine, labdanum, and oakmoss is incorporated with an ambered and musky base, creating an amalgam with patchouli, the flowers, and the fruits. It also feels woody, spiced, aromatic, and earthy. It is versatile, can be worn all year round, though more so in autumn and spring. The bottle is spectacular, just like the scent it holds. Performance is excellent, lasting over 10 hours on my skin with a great trail in the first hour before becoming moderate. Unisex. Life is too short to wear perfumes we only like, because why smell common and banal when we can smell divine?

  • AntaresAres

    I adore cypresses and green fragrances, and this Eau du Soir is an absolute classic that could have been born alongside masterpieces like Aromatics Elixir, Chanel No. 19, or Givenchy III. They belong to the same family: mysterious, austere, earthy, and unisex. As the name suggests, it is a twilight perfume, born between the gloom of conifers and the moss of a garden under the stars. The note I notice most, to my great delight, is iris, alongside pepper and a resinous labdanum. It seems a dirty and wonderful fragrance, though I prefer its younger sister, Soir de Lune. This review is from a 90s miniature; I do not know how the reformulation has affected the current Eau du Soir, but since it is Sisley and not Dior or YSL, the overhaul could not have been too drastic.

  • Smells incredibly classic, with an air of a stately home. It is elegant and serious; I believe one needs a certain age to wear it well. It is the exact opposite of ‘choni’ style.
