Sisley Eau du Soir is a chypre-leaning women's fragrance that sets the fresh bite of mandarin orange and grapefruit against pepper and a floral heart.

What does Eau du Soir smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, grapefruit and pepper; the heart builds a floral base of iris, jasmine absolute and rose absolute, while juniper and clove add a green, spicy edge. The base of patchouli, cistus and oakmoss leaves a woody, slightly earthy chypre feel, softened by amber and musk.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Many read it as feminine and classic. Sisley Eau du Soir 2008 and Chanel Cristalle have a close profile.
