The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2015, Soir d' Orient by Sisley is an Oriental fragrance for women, crafted by perfumer Olivier Pescheux. The composition opens with the vibrant brightness of Italian lemon and saffron, creating a fresh yet spicy contrast to the heart's Turkish rose and incense notes. This leads into a warm base of patchouli, sandalwood, and amber that feels both smoky and balsamic, grounding the overall scent with an earthy warmth.

How to wear it

Apply Soir d'Orient in layers to let each note unfold — start with one spray on your pulse points, then add another after an hour. The smoky base notes take time to bloom fully, so this fragrance reads best close to the skin rather than filling a room.
