Sisley Paris Eau de Sisley Trio

Fragrances make great gifts so long as you know the tastes and style of the recipient.  Are they the sporty and outgoing type, exotic or trend-setters?  Maybe they’re all of the above? It’s all about matching the scent to the person.   Sisley Paris has released three new fragrances that are inspired by the “three faces of the same woman“.

Eau de Sisley 1 — Joyful, romantic and tender. Its top note is lively and stimulating with a fresh gust of citrus interspersed with spices. It has the fruity lemony freshness of green Tangerine, Grapefruit and the teasing fragrance of pink Berries enhanced with a pinch of Spice. Its floral heart, powerful and sunny, yet fluid, combines pure, delicate Jasmine water with green Tea, whose fragrant soul is surrounded by a light, bitter layer. Juniper Berries impart freshness as well as a hint of bitterness. Its base note depicts elegant chypre, a Chypre from the Hesperides, softened by Musk that gives a deep vibrant note and lingers on the skin with a delicate smoothness.

Eau de Sisley 2 — Luminous, lively and cheerful. Its top note is very fresh and green, a combination of subtle spicy notes of Cardamon and Bergamot with their delicate sensuality, and an impertinent touch of Basil. Its heart is floral, fluid and transparent, composed of selected flowers of water lily, and is blended with Jasmine from Egypt, Cyclamen and Rose. Its base is a surprising combination of water and the mystery of chypre. It is a delicate harmony of sunny notes with the sensuality of Patchouli and Vetiver as well as the elegance of Cedar and Sandalwood.

Eau de Sisley 3 — Teasing, aloof and impulsive. It intrigues by its joyous note of stimulating Citrus. Its strong tonic combination emerges from the subtle succession of fresh notes: precious essence of Bergamot, sparkles of Tangerine, bitterness of Grapefruit, and Tangy Lemon. It dives, like an impulse, with lightness and elegance, into an exotic, sensual heart, happily fascinated by purple Ginger, softly voluptuous with an audacious hint of Chinese Osmanthus flower and traces of Peach and Apricot. An elegant base note, fashioned by the force of Patchouli and Vetiver, the smoothness of Benjamin and Vanilla, and the softness of musk signs, with an enigmatic smile, the elegance of this scent.

As you can see, each scent has a personality of its own. Does it describe anyone you know or maybe even you? I lean towards #1 myself. I like that it has citrus, berries and green tea! Oh and don’t you love the bottles? They’re sleek and minimalistic yet still manages to catch your eye.  This fresh summertime trio by Sisley Paris are available at Neiman Marcus for $165 each.
