Eau Gorgeous! : Sisley

Yes, I’ll admit that if Sisley sneezed I’d probably try and buy it! Unlike other beauty companies, Sisley doesn’t just churn out product after product, and in fact, produces fragrances rarely, so to bring out three at once is quite a surprise. But, instead of trying to push one scent to everyone, having three at a time gives more choice – and we like choice! When I was shown the fragrances at London Sisley HQ, each one in turn was sprayed onto a ribbon for me to smell. I just instantly fell for Eau de 1. It’s got something slightly masculine about it, and it’s very fresh – perfect for summer. It’s a mix of citrus – green mandarin and grapefruit – and florals; predominantly jasmine. Now I think about it, it was probably the jasmine that sold it to me! Bottom notes of chypre, patchouli and musk – although if you asked me, I’d say I liked none of these – give it warmth. There are two other scents, Eau de 2 and Eau de 3 (a missed creative opportunity there, I think!) but my choice has me wafting around in complete bliss every time I wear it. It’s launching this month for £90.
