Sisley Soir d'Orient is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Olivier Pescheux. Soir d'Orient opens with Lemon, Saffron, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Incense. Sisley's Soir d'Orient carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper grown-up scent, divisive as hell but an absolute masterpiece for those who get it. Prepare for an intense, opulent journey; definitely not a casual spritz.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong, long-lasting projection and bold character, Soir d'Orient is best reserved for evening and formal events, or intimate dates. It's far too intense for casual wear or the office, as many reviewers note it's a 'scent bomb' demanding of its wearer.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A powerful opening of pungent galbanum, brightened by lemon and the unique, leathery spice of saffron. It elegantly transitions to a heart of rich, peppery rose and green geranium, before settling into a deep, smoky base. Incense, earthy patchouli, and creamy sandalwood create a warm, balsamic trail.
