Sonia Rykiel Sonia Rykiel is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1997, created by Émilie Coppermann. Sonia Rykiel opens with Passion Flower, Mandarin, Ylang-Ylang, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Sonia Rykiel's Sonia Rykiel carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Sonia Rykiel’s eponymous scent is a divisive but memorable ode to fruity-woody warmth. It’s got a loyal following for its unique take on the gourmand, although some find its boldness a bit much.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Its rich, strong, and long-lasting nature makes it less suited for an office environment unless applied lightly. However, its warmth and sensual character make it excellent for dates or formal occasions, particularly in cooler weather. It's a bit too much for casual wear, and definitely not one for the gym.

About

Imagine a rich, sweet pineapple dessert, spiced with vanilla and benzoin, then draped over a bed of warm woods. Mandarin and blackcurrant add initial zest, before a floral heart of rose, jasmine, and iris peeks through. The drydown is a deeply cosy blend of amber, cedar, and sandalwood, with a lingering, almost caramelised, sweetness.
