Sisley

The Sisley company is established in 85 countries and employs more than 4,000 people. Hubert d’Ornano has since passed away, but his wife still runs the company with the help of their daughter Christine and their son Philippe.

Sisley, the best of plants

For many women, the Sisley brand represents high-end cosmetics. Founder and co-owner of the Orlane company, Hubert d’Ornano took over the Sisley company in 1976. With the help of his wife Isabelle, they decided to create cosmetic products based on phytocosmetology, a technique that consists of using natural plant extracts. Together, they conceived cosmetic products, then high-quality fragrances. Sisley has always drawn its inspiration from the very heart of plants, which made them pioneers in phytocosmetology. Sisley now stands as a “global” brand in the world of cosmetics. The company offers 3 major product lines, namely makeup, skincare, and fragrance.

Sisley’s cult products

Innovative and avant-garde, the d’Ornano couple gave free rein to their imagination and talent from the outset. The result was not long in coming, and Sisley’s first cult product remains the “émulsion écologique”. Released in 1980, this product quickly became Sisley’s number 1 best-seller worldwide. With a fluid, light, and comfortable texture, the “émulsion écologique” contains a subtle cocktail of highly active plants. In 1990, the fragrance “L’Eau du Soir” was created by Hubert d’Ornano for his wife alone. Subtle accords and remarkable olfactory richness have given L’Eau du Soir a lasting success. In 1999, the company launched “Sisleÿa”, a comprehensive anti-aging treatment. A true concentrate of youth, this product remains an undisputed and indisputable star. In 2002, the “Phyto-Teint Éclat”, a natural foundation, was a phenomenal success. In 2007, the launch of “Hydra Global”, an anti-aging moisturizing treatment, marked another success.

Sisley, named after the impressionist painter whose works the d’Ornano couple adored, was born in 1972. Taken over by Hubert and Isabelle d’Ornano in 1976, the Sisley brand quickly became known thanks to its phytocosmetology methods. Nature lies at the heart of every Sisley product. While Sisley initially offered only cosmetics, the company has since diversified by offering major beauty treatments as well as major fragrances. Hubert d’Ornano died in September 2015, leaving behind an empire. His wife, still at the helm of the company, is today supported by their daughter Christine and their son Philippe. Success, yes, but as a family.
