Reviews of Eau de Sisley 2 (2009)
by Sisley

Continuing with their tradition of natural green scents, Sisley's Eau de Sisley 2 is an amazingly refreshing fragrance. It is a perky light green spring floral fragrance that has a natural wet, fresh cut flowers scent. The greenness comes from basil and vetiver mid notes which at first might qualify this scent as a green vetiver fragrance if the florals were less pronounced. This fragrance is all about highlighting the light spring floral notes of lilly, jasmine, rose and cyclamen. This light floral bouquet is kept green with basil / vetiver and is supported by a searing light patchouli drydown that only adds to the stark fresh cut feeling of the greens. The smell of Sisley 2 EDC reminds me of the rush of moist florals when entereing the huge fresh cut flower cooler of my favorite florist - a blast of most lillies and mixed flowers with fresh cut greens. My favorite fresh green floral fragrance.

Eau de Sisley 2 has been more pleasant on my skin than No1; after three hours it settled in similar green & woody notes like No 1 but still more interesting than No 1. Eau de Sisley 2 is even lighter than 1 and that is disappointing if you think of the retail price of 114€ for the 100ml.

A spicy note opening followed by some herbs (the blurb on the Sisley website describes the basil as 'impertinent' ---hilarious). There then follows some rather weak jasmine and rose notes and ends up with a woody base. Even with the notes listed the whole fragrance has a sort of airy and insubstantial feel and once again veers to the feminine side.
