Perfumery is a field with a gift for transporting us, for making us travel. Sometimes, it means setting off to conquer a distant land. Other times, perfumery simply allows one to immerse oneself in a memory or in the intimacy of a creator. Such is precisely the ambition of Sisley's Eaux Rêvées. This fragrance line consists of six unisex fragrances, all inspired by the d’Ornano family. One of them is named L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria. So who might be hiding behind this name?
In 2023, Sisley unveils a new fragrance collection, made up of six unisex fragrances: the Eaux Rêvées. Each of these fragrances evokes a memory tied to the d’Ornano family, founders of the brand. L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria refers to Maria, the daughter of Isabelle and Hubert d’Ornano, as well as to Daria, their niece. This creation is the symbol of the strong and unbreakable bond uniting this family, and of the joy they feel in constantly reuniting. The result is an optimistic and joyful creation.
Osmanthus, the central element of L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria by Sisley
L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria by Sisley highlights one main ingredient: osmanthus. Complex and rich with many facets, it is also a raw material highly valued by perfumers. In this fragrance, Sisley delivers a sensual and biting breath, with a scent that is at times fruity or spicy. More specifically, osmanthus comes from China. It is a traditional flower, growing in the Asian part of the globe. Frequently blended into green tea, it releases a very fruity aroma, between peach and apricot. This fragrance is a true delight!
The refreshing ingredients of L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria
At first, osmanthus is revealed in its most refreshing, light and airy aspect. To achieve such a result, Sisley relies on fruits. Citrus notes are omnipresent in its top notes. L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria notably contains bergamot and mandarin. This duo releases a citrus breath, tangy and zesty. Blackcurrant, for its part, reinforces this juicy sensation. It also lends this fragrance a greener, almost earthy aspect.
The spices contained in L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria
To reveal the lighthearted character of L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria, Sisley opts for a pairing of spices. Nutmeg appears at its heart. Grown in Indonesia, it lends this fragrance a peppery breath, at times dry or warmer. Conversely, ginger is meant to be more refreshing. It is used here for its peppery side, pairing perfectly with that of nutmeg. Undeniably, L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria by Sisley is not lacking in character! This is a fragrance intended for lively people, unafraid to seize life with both hands!
L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria closes with an enveloping woody base
Gradually, L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria softens and becomes more enveloping. The heady and suave aspect of osmanthus is amplified by the presence of vanilla. Highly valued by perfumers, this ingredient allows for multiple facets. Indeed, vanilla is at times rich, sweet or spicier. Here, it is paired with benzoin, known for its warm aspect, akin to that of caramel or cocoa butter. Patchouli further completes this creation with its more earthy and lasting aspect. Being an excellent fixative, it also allows this unisex fragrance to hold perfectly in place on skin, for many hours. According to Sisley, the result is a sensual and biting osmanthus.
