The story behind the bottle.
Eau Tropicale by Sisley, launched in 2014 and crafted by perfumer Domitille Michalon Bertier, is a vibrant ode to the tropics with its lively blend of citrus, tropical fruits, and lush florals. The fragrance opens with passionfruit and bergamot, creating an effervescent freshness that gives way to hibiscus, frangipani, and ginger flower. These notes are accented by the sweetness of violet and Turkish rose, adding layers of complexity and depth. The base notes of ambrette, patchouli, and cedar create a warm, earthy foundation that anchors the composition.
Apply Eau Tropicale to your pulse points for maximum impact. The top notes are bright and fleeting, so a few sprays will ensure you catch the full vibrancy of passionfruit and bergamot. As the fragrance settles into its heart and base notes, it becomes more intimate and warm, making it perfect for daytime wear.
