The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Soir de Lune by Sisley was launched in 2006 and is composed by Dominique Ropion, widely regarded as an 'underrated masterpiece' among perfume enthusiasts. This Chypre Floral fragrance opens with the freshness of citrus and spicy notes like coriander and pepper oil, which give way to a heart of floral accords such as rose, mimosa, iris, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley. The base notes of oakmoss, patchouli, musk, and sandalwood create an earthy and mossy warmth that anchors the composition. Despite Sisley's low profile in fragrance circles, Soir de Lune is often compared to the serious chypre constructions found in collections like Frédéric Malle or Chanel Les Exclusifs.

How to wear it

Apply Soir de Lune lightly — its base notes take time to develop and can be overwhelming in excess. Two sprays are usually enough for the warm, mossy base to unfold gradually throughout the evening.
