Eau du Soir by Sisley is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Eau du Soir was launched in 1990. Eau du Soir was created by Jeannine Mongin, Hubert d'Ornano and Isabelle d'Ornano. Top notes are Grapefruit and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are oak moss, Juniper, Patchouli, Pepper, Carnation, Iris, Rose, Syringa, French labdanum, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley and Ylang-Ylang; base notes are Musk and Amber. Eau du Soir is the second perfume by the house of Sisley and it is feminine, elegant and eternal. Its complex and rich composition is based on perfect harmony of contrasted lines: fresh citrus, sensual flowers, warm amber and musk. The bottle, with its golden stopper (made of 18 karat gold), was designed by Polish sculptor Bronisław Krzysztof. The top notes are mandarin orange, grapefruit, spruce and carnation. The heart consists of seringo, jasmine, rose and lily-of-the-valley. Musk, amber and patchouli are in the base. Countess Isabelle d’Ornano was given Eau de Soir as a gift by her husband, count Hubert d'Ornano in 1990. The count created a unique floral composition in the centre of which was Spanish flower seringa. Its fragrance, as in the case of many other types of white flowers, radiates an intense scent through night air and attracts night butterflies to pollinate it. The perfume was created to remind countess of her childhood in Spain. The name was chosen because of night flower seringe (in French, soir means evening). For several years Eau de Soir was countess' personal perfume and it was no sooner than 1999, after her friend persuaded her, that it was released for public.

Eau du Soir is a well-regarded classic chypre from the 1990s that commands loyalty from those who own it, particularly older formulations which are considered exceptional. The fragrance is praised for its authentic oakmoss rendering and sophisticated character, though it receives limited discussion due to Sisley's positioning between mainstream and niche brands and the declining popularity of chypres. Newer versions are considered good but lack the extraordinary depth of vintage bottles.
