Soir de Lune

With Soir de Lune, Isabelle d'Ornano and her talented composer Dominique Ropion offer an elegant and unique perfume, a touch retro and so elegant that it fits into no category — it simply commands admiration…

Soir de Lune, or an artistic fragrant journey through the world of Sisley

The aesthetic of Sisley perfumes is so vast that it is extremely difficult to classify. Each of its perfumes creates an event of its own; each fragrance has its own story, its own reading. For Soir de Lune, Isabelle d'Ornano let herself be carried into a dreamlike and poetic artistic world where only the beauty of the raw materials could rival the beauty of the sketches the perfume evokes.

Soir de Lune is a designer's perfume, inspired by a personal and artistic universe. Hubert and Isabelle d'Ornano draw their inspiration for Soir de Lune from a style that is entirely their own. It is from the colorful, avant-garde world of contemporary art, a shared passion of theirs, that Sisley's first gourmand floral chypre is born. Sisley on Soir de Lune.

Sisley thus once again dares to offer its intimate universe, giving its admirers a perfume that runs against the current. A perfume that, through embroidered sketches, is said to have taken more than six years to come into being, like the most accomplished painting of a painter. Its visual and its advertising are likewise highly artistic: the images, sketched like the outline of a painting, evoke a dreamed-of Paris or a pictorial perfume. As if Soir de Lune were a painting transformed into a fragrance. Or the reverse?

Whatever the case, Soir de Lune moves, pierces, or astonishes, but it never leaves anyone indifferent.

The power of a Soir de Lune in a perfume for the initiated, by Sisley

The lovely Soir de Lune bottle could be seen as “lunar” through its round, full shapes, set off by thick glass. As for the sublime cap depicting the love between a woman and the gentle moon, it was sculpted by Sisley's favorite artist, Bronislaw Krzysztof.

Soir de Lune opens with a crystalline burst of bergamot, mandarin, and lemon. Then spices and aromatic herbs unfold like a multicolored whirl of nutmeg, chili pepper, and coriander. The warmth of the opulent floral notes at its heart carries one away in a swirl of Centifolia May rose absolute, mimosa absolute, jasmine, powdery lily of the valley, and precious iris. These elegant flowers are accompanied by a velvety, sweet touch of peach. This artistic evening walk ends in a woody, sensual fireworks display lit up by sandalwood, patchouli, musk, and cedar, joined by warm honey.

A perfume for the initiated, singular and romantic, rich and intense, Soir de Lune is a great modern floral chypre. Sisley on Soir de Lune.
