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. Its top notes of grapefruit 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’m in front of a serious, meaningful work that elevates art. It inspires my 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 19th-century romantic. It seems like a luxurious perfume in the manner of a great Romanesque stone church, soberly imposing and without artifices, but majestic. It doesn’t recall those other Baroque ones where plaster and wood try to be marble and gold. It’s the perfume my mother used for special occasions since a friend gifted it to her in the 90s, and fortunately, she keeps it incorruptible against all the ugliness, boredom, and routine of daily life. It’s steeped in happy memories. It’s expensive, but I think it’s worth it, because besides being a great perfume, its performance is very good, and its bottle is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. Since it seems quite unisex and more pleasant than others, I think this perfume can fit and look good on young people too. It makes me think of those girls or ladies with sober tastes, who would dye themselves only a natural color, who reject heavy makeup, 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 don’t renounce luxury. They are elegant and affable. They have not a shred of haughtiness because they don’t 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’ve ever smelled. Moisture and light. It starts misty, forest-like, 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 something resinous and camphoraceous. The whole is consistent but feels 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 coiled herbs. If I had to put music to it, I’d 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’s nothing in it that my nose wants to filter; it devours it. I’m sure I’ll wear it someday; it’s one of my favorites and I have a story with it. Since I’ve given it ten out of hand, in these cases, what happens happens… 11/10
EAU DE SOIR DE SISLEY is one of the most beautiful perfumes I’ve ever encountered. 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 to this exquisiteness lies in the fact that the company founded by the D’Ornano couple has loved and cared for their products with such extreme attention that the results are visible to the eye. Nothing like the current bestsellers created for fast consumption and producing countless flankers to recoup investments 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, dreamy texture emerge. It’s said that Hubert created the perfume based on the celandine flower so that Isabelle could remember her childhood among Andalusian gardens. EAU DE SOIR DE SISLEY is an act of love dedicated to his wife that took time to be commercialized. But curiously, it doesn’t remind me of gardens in the Generalife or the Alcazars, as in the olfactory chromatic palette, forest 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 Isabelle’s native Poland, illuminated by the dim rays of an autumn sun, between mists and fairy dust, where the music of ‘Peer Gynt’s Morning’ wakes the faun from his siesta, the prelude to love. The aroma of EAU DE SOIR DE SISLEY is an experience you must feel at least once in a lifetime. It’s not a fragrance with an excessive trail but one with extended longevity. The man or woman who wears EAU DE SOIR DE SISLEY will project an image of distinction, class, elegance, and simplicity all at once. Inès de la Fressange or George Sanders would be suitable to wear EAU DE SOIR, and of course, Isabelle D’Ornano herself.
Eau du Soir is a charismatic fragrance. Born in the golden age of perfumery, it didn’t follow the trends of oriental and fresh citrus scents that existed at that time. And that’s because Sisley has never followed trends. It has always been faithful to its spirit of creating natural fragrances following the French perfumery tradition. It’s a scent that smells of nature, with a fresh opening that quickly evolves into very deep, forest-like vegetal nuances. Although it has flowers in its composition, I perceive it as green, vegetal, and mossy. It’s the aroma of a forest with soapy tints. It’s a dry, incisive, and very elegant fragrance. In its evolution, it’s harmonious from start to finish of the dry-down. It never loses its way or reveals any harsh notes. A fragrance worn by royalty, singers, and celebrities, yet accessible to everyone today thanks to good deals at perfumeries. I see it as unisex, aimed at a mature man or woman of elegant bearing, and it works well for the day, even though the name translates to Nightwater. The trail and projection are sublime, and the longevity is the best. A fragrance with presence. A masterpiece.
Definitely my favorite perfume. Since a sales associate gave me a sample when I bought another perfume and told me, ‘try it, even though it’s a women’s fragrance, the effect on a man’s skin is very interesting and it’s becoming trendy among guys in Northern Europe.’ And it was! I tried it and fell in love. Moreover, it was the first time in my life I wore a perfume to go out, and for the whole night I was able to feel my own scent’s trail as if I’d just applied it. Definitely one of the best out there. And yet, at first, I was about not to wear it because I thought, ‘it smells like my grandma’ 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’s out of my budget. For now, I’ve bought an equivalent that, although not the same, especially in the trail, at least takes the itch away while I save the necessary money. Starting this summer, I hope to become a new Sisley guy. Alongside Dior Homme Intense and Black Orchid by Tom Ford, it’s the best of current perfumery for me, until someone shows me something better…
What quality, so much 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 where you can only think, ‘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 almondy (I’m surprised that citrus notes aren’t 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, vegetal whisper. Clean patchouli, similar to the one in Shiseido’s Zen. A bit of resin, perhaps pine. At times, very faintly, I sense a background of artisanal gin, the kind that tastes of distilled herbs; a tiny bitter touch. But this perfume is all light. Although it’s clearly a chypre, I don’t consider it retro at all. Nor is it anything youthful: if you’re under 30, it won’t work for you, unless you have tons of aplomb and an overflowing personality. It’s perfume for an elegant woman (not snobby; often snobbery clashes with class), strong and sober. If you don’t possess those qualities and wear it, you’re betraying its spirit. It’s very hard to feel you’re up to this perfume’s standard. I’m sure I’ll buy it. I don’t know how long it will take, because first I have to mature a bit more, feel fulfilled and independent; secure and successful. A masterpiece.
The opening is sparkling… imposing, and it stays that way for over an hour… then another hour… and another. Haha! What I mean to say is that it fascinates me; what an entertaining scent and what undeniable quality. It’s expensive, yes… is it worth it? For me, absolutely. Will I take care of it? Yes!!! Haha, but I’ll 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 just reading reviews by others without writing one myself. Over time, some authors became my favorites, surprising me with their style and olfactory knowledge. Beyond the aesthetics, they helped me find pieces for my collection. My romance with Maison Sisley ended when, guided by those reviews, I went to look for Eau du Soir. A sales associate offered me a sample, and my hopes crashed; I realized that I and my favorite authors live in different olfactory dimensions. I wasn’t disgusted by the composition; I just couldn’t discern a perfume in that colorful, cacophonous blend. The scent tormented me like a natural disaster. It’s certainly not synthetic. I suppose my brain lacks the zone to find harmony in this highly praised fragrance. The fault is mine. I admit it because right in that same place, where I felt more alone than Robinson Crusoe, two discoveries emerged that stole into my heart like kittens: two Sisley masterpieces that made me so happy I forgot about the Southern Water. To be continued… in CHAPTER II: Izia by Sisley.
I’d like to point out to Chris Mannix or anyone commenting on this fragrance that Eau de Soir translates to NIGHTWATER in Spanish. Perhaps they discovered the enhancement of the notes arriving at night, making them even more exquisite and turning Eau de Soir into an unforgettable scent?
A refined fragrance with great olfactory richness, elegant and timeless. Very intense and classic. For classic, elegant, and feminine women. Recommended for evening wear. With an eternal longevity…
While Sisley’s Eau de Soir is my absolute favorite perfume, I want to thank Chris Mannix for his beautiful and sincere review. Everyone has their own world, and it’s normal that what one person loves, another doesn’t. What I truly appreciate is that Chris expressed his negative opinion with exquisite respect toward those who adore it. That’s what Fragrantica preaches: reviews are valid as long as they don’t turn into personal, uneducated fights.
If you ask me which fragrance embodies all that French charm and class without a doubt I answer: Eau Du Soir by Sisley. Today it elevates me I’m wrapped in an elegant natural strong and aristocratic aura; even though I’m wearing an executive suit I feel like I’m in a simple dark blue silk dress polished like a diamond. It’s hard to understand and love but if it captivates you it will keep you hooked. 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’s totally unisex: at first it’s 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 noble oakmoss absolutely real. There’s juniper pepper and a clean musk. It conveys 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.
An old-fashioned and dated scent super strong and nothing feminine more like super masculine. An unbearable and unpleasant fragrance for me and I love perfumes but I just can’t with this one.
Signature scent 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 mellows flowers emerge the rough patch passes and the carnation and iris arrive to relax. In that mood it’s pleasant. Always elegant and high 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 like royalty. It’s not subjective: it’s said that Queen Letizia keeps it in her vanity 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 adding patchouli to it for more earthiness. Some 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 orange trees or an afternoon in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The bottle with its 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 true treasure 10/10.
Sublime and majestic. Elegant without being loud distinguished charismatic and complex. It’s my favorite perfume only for special occasions or weekends. It’s too exquisite for the office though wearable in any season. More nocturnal because the night lends itself to the special. Sweet lovers won’t understand it nor do I recommend it but when it conquers a nose it’s eternal love.
My latest acquisition! I LOVE IT! It might stay forever even though the price makes you think. It smells dark feminine deep and elegant just how I like it: no sweetness or fruit. I think it’s a first step into niche and I’ve hit the mark more with this than the first one. Pinching pennies it’s worth it. I love the top and base notes: herbs iris moss roses and musk.
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 though it doesn’t have great chemistry with my skin. A sharp carnation appears like fruit cut outdoors mixed with moss and dry iris. At 40 minutes the carnation fades but the moss stays acidic. At 2 hours on warm skin it starts to have charm like Guerlain’s Mitsouko: an unbearable acidic profile at the start. Maybe the dry-down is pretty but the first hour is unbearable. P.S.: Josesan says it’s an ‘autumn forest’ a good reference to wet foliage and afternoon sun. P.S.: My miniature is vintage with an unpredictable wildness that I don’t like. I hope current formulas are more stable and more appealing.
I see Margo Channing in ‘All About Eve’ the best movie wearing this perfume. She’s intelligent solitary and ambitious until Eva arrives. Eau du Soir has its own identity: it’s notorious a bit arrogant but brilliant. It feels green elegant dark and dirty. A perfect chypre not for everyone. It’s totally morning-appropriate; it highlights the oakmoss pepper lily and a predominant juniper. It’s love with clear eyes.
Radiant and sophisticated Eau du Soir is a modern luxurious chypre. At first the grapefruit and tangerine turned 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 like confidence and decadence. The citrus lasts a long time the flowers are green and not herbal. Projection is moderate but with great longevity; a full night without reapplying. Although it’s marketed for women it smells unisex and contemporary. Worth it if there’s a sale: it smells like class and abandon not as feminine as it seems.
Respecting the experts I’d say it smells like a French cologne from the 60s—stale and just amber. I don’t like it at all; it’s an old-school masculine scent that isn’t for me.
Afternoon water… What can I say about this mega-discussed fragrance? It has quality; it’s elegant; unisex, in my opinion, absolutely. All declared notes, plus two more for me, fruity ones that last an instant. Value: expensive, yes. Personal appreciation: with all due respect, it will never be a saint of my devotion. Its complex composition gives me a headache, as if they were churning 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. For those who love fragrances, they are like jewels 💎; when buying a piece of jewelry, we always try it on first. A perfume should provoke the same thing. If it provokes at least 50% of what I try to convey, it’s a wonderful sign to buy. Since I’ve been buying perfumes since I was 16, I assure you you WON’T REGRET following this rule. Greetings to #FraganAdictos and #FraganAholics. Hugs and enjoy, 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, with vulgar and crushing elegance. Maybe they were original 70 years ago, but not today. It starts with a stomach-churning sweetness and evolves into something acidic and earthy. It’s built on a heavy curtain of amber, iris (which doesn’t work on my skin), and moss, behind which other notes are suffocated; of the little I detect behind that woody curtain, it’s the carnation. Longevity and trail are enormous. Very invasive, be 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 is more unisex but still cloying.
The perfume my beloved and eternal Princess Diana used. It’s pure elegance, sublime, with its 18-karat gold cap. Recommended for any season and demands elegance to wear. 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 an authentic jewel.
Floral chypre, elegant, dry, and refined. It has a beautiful dry-down. It doesn’t seem masculine to me at all. Maybe it’s hard to understand for noses accustomed to sweet perfumes.
Isabel Pantoja’s perfume… It always seemed unisex to me, so it’s interesting they targeted it only at 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 I’m fascinated when I smell it on someone else. It’s very long-lasting; if I wear it in the afternoon, I still smell it the next morning. Huge trail for the first hour, then moderate for over 10 hours. It’s atypical and I don’t think it has a huge niche, but if women wear it, they’ll find it hard to replace.
90s grandiloquence: velvet chalets, large earrings with elegant ‘hippie’ touches. It smells like soap shops and gifts from that era, where everything was special. I imagine a shop assistant wearing Vietnamese silk clothes, pre-Columbian jewelry, and precious sandals. Everything elegant, expensive, and ethnic, very pompous. It smells like classic vintage 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 this years ago at a company dinner; a colleague wore it and I was fascinated. My first bottle was 30ml because of 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 more subtle. I love it so much I have a bar of soap with that scent stored in a wooden box; every time I open it, the smell is exactly the same. It’s a must-have in my collection; I wear it when getting ready or for important meetings. Moderate trail but noticeable at a 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-produced, unrecognizable fragrances of today. The only thing holding me back is the price, but I treat myself to a bottle every couple of years.
Finally found something interesting! It’s very close to what I’m looking for. It’s woods and light, changes throughout the day, and it’s noticeable, but nothing heavy. Right now I only have a mini. If the current version smells just as good, I’m in.
Damn, Fragrantica, but Eau de Soir smells like pine car air freshener. I admit it: it smells like a taxi, artificial, and gives me a headache. I imagine freshly scrubbed terrazzo floors with radioactive pine detergent. Sorry to its fans who pay good euros to Sisley, but for me, this is a drugstore aisle—no romantic evenings or opulent distinction here.
What I like most about this fragrance is its mossy opening and soapy dry down. It reminds me of an elegant person over 35, very confident in themselves. It feels a bit dark, like being in a forest at dusk in autumn. I have a scented deodorant I use as if it were an eau de parfum. It has great longevity and sillage. It doesn’t resemble any other perfume I’ve tried. It’s on another level.
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 made here with Clinique’s, and yes, it’s true. I still prefer Aromatics Elixir because Eau du Soir doesn’t 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; rather, one of those bombastic feminine scents from the 80s and 90s. However, when I applied it to my wrist and let it settle for a few hours, I noticed that fresh, green, woody aroma, perfectly unisex, and sumptuously elegant. I imagine wearing it to a reception on a spring or autumn afternoon. Also, on blotting paper, I found a resemblance to Eau Revée d’Isa, like a more potent version of it.
I started using it at 28, and today, at almost 32, I still use it because it’s simply a delight. I wish it were my signature scent, but it’s so expensive I can’t afford to use it as I’d like. It’s divine; it makes me feel powerful, imposing, almost like a mythological goddess. Once, something happened to me similar to what Clems experienced: I entered the office and caught a glimpse of a coworker pinching her nose as if she smelled something foul. I just laughed and realized you have to take things as they come, just like the famous saying: ‘What can you expect from a donkey but a kick?’
If you like potent perfumes and you’re over 30, this is YOUR perfume. This would be my advertising slogan for this elixir. I own it and use it only in winter. It’s a trail-making perfume, a work of art from the old days; they don’t make perfumes like this anymore. Thinking about it, it gave me the impression of being a clone of Clinique’s Elixir, super similar; I’d say they’re twins. It’s not a perfume for everyday wear (in my opinion); I don’t detect the mandarin or grapefruit at all, but the lily, labdanum, and jasmine are very noticeable, and the amber flows beautifully in the dry down. It’s not for me personally, as I’m a huge fan of fresh, aquatic, oceanic, and white floral scents. I keep it because I need a fragrance in my wardrobe that’s different from everything else and that my nose doesn’t get tired of. I resort to it very rarely, and it is true that it flatters your presence with a sophistication that feels like jewelry. The price says it all: a fine, expensive jewel.
I want to start by mentioning the atomizer of this perfume; it’s sublime. A perfect mist that gives way to white flowers, mainly lily of the valley. The scent is so natural; I also detect the clove note, but it’s not overwhelming. Extremely elegant, I recommend it for someone classic, impeccable, and perfect…
I had high expectations after reading and hearing reviews, but as always, try before you buy because reviewers can sometimes be overly imaginative. I tested it on a hot, humid day (summer in Uruguay) and it lasted a bit more than 2 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 out for a walk before deciding whether to buy it. Honestly, if I had bought it blind, I would have used it anyway, perhaps in a different season.
The more perfumes we test, the more conscious and selective we become when buying, because we can’t spend a lifetime on thousands of scents we’ve smelled and desired but never loved. However, for some of those with a soul that embrace you and tell beautiful stories, we leave a mark. Eau du Soir is a classic, a green chypre, soapy, not sweet, slightly cold and powdery from the iris. It opens with citrus, lots of herbs like rosemary and juniper, then seduces you with cloves dusted with pepper, roses, tender ylang-ylang flowers, a shy lily of the valley, jasmine, labdanum, and oakmoss joins with an ambered, musky base, creating an amalgam with patchouli, flowers, and fruits. It feels woody, spicy, aromatic, and earthy. It’s versatile and can be worn year-round, though more in autumn and spring. The bottle is spectacular, just like the scent inside. Performance is excellent, lasting over 10 hours on my skin with a great trail in the first hour before settling to a moderate sillage. Unisex. Life is too short to wear perfumes we only sort of like, because why smell common and banal when we can smell divine?
I love cypress 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’s a twilight perfume, born between the shadows of conifers and the moss of a garden under the stars. The note I notice most, to my great joy, is iris, alongside pepper and a resinous labdanum. It feels like a dirty, wonderful fragrance, though I prefer its younger sister, Soir de Lune. This review is from a 90s miniature; I don’t know how the reformulation affected the current Eau du Soir, but since this is Sisley and not Dior or YSL, the changes weren’t drastic.
Smells super classic, with an air of old-world elegance. It’s sophisticated and serious; I think it takes a certain age to pull it off. It’s the complete opposite of a ‘choni’ vibe.
