Has anyone tried/worn Eau du Soir by Sisley? If so, what are your thoughts/comments? Is this considered mainly a feminine or unisex fragrance?

Thanks.

It is a floral chypre with the bite of Jaws. The question isn't ,"is it male or female", but rather, "Is it human"? That said, it screams of high quality, but please, try before you buy.

I'll echo Ruggles. I don't have this stuff, but only picked up a tester strip at a shop this week. I love it. Great stuff. Two halves to the smell. Seems like some herbal (maybe) light sharpness goes in your nose first, then a second half hits and it's thick with some amber and patchouli is my guess. Really good one-two combination. I know I'd want to smell it on anyone and would consider getting myself a bottle.

Hi, I have a samples of Eau du Soir. It is a modern chypre, slightly recalling Mitsouko.

To my nose it is very "femme", even matronly. Very good indeed, but as a man I wouldn't wear it. Anyway, I've tried it just for fun. It is a little bit heavy.

Cheers. W

A coworker used to wear it and everytime she would enter the room I would just love the smell of it - so i bought it for my wife last christmas

Don't know how to explain the smell but its spectacular, elegant, rich fragrance.
It's expensive ...it smells expensive too.. don't use too much.. it lasts forever

Are you referring to Soir de Lune?

Eau du Soir is an amazing scent! I bought a 100ml bottle of this a few months ago, while in Paris. The first time I smelt it, in Sephora, I nearly bought it straight away but refrained until I did a bit more research on the web. I just love the opening 'kick'. It smells expensive but, to my nose, comes across as a more unisex fragrance - I have yet to pick out any dominant floral notes here.

Personally, I think this would work very well during the warmer months (but probably not during a heatwave). A lot of people have stated that it's more an evening/formal scent - I disagree to a certain extent. I think it would also work well during the day and with smart casual attire.

If it smells good on you, wear it!

Well, I didn't detect any aldehydes (and I usually avoid such scents).
