L'Eau Rêvée d'Isa Sisley 2023

I love this series! Except for L'Eau Rêvée d'Aria (because of vanilla, I hate vanilla) and L'Eau Rêvée d'Eliya (too sweet on the skin), 4 out of 6 have found a home with me.

Isa was on my list right from the start; the fragrance pyramid hits 100% of my taste. What all Sisley fragrances in this series have in common is the freshness, never opulent or overwhelming, which I really appreciate, as overdosing is almost impossible. Isa and Alma are very similar, and I wavered between the two for a long time before ultimately buying both. Isa is the pretty, slightly more feminine little sister, Alma is greener, a bit harsher, but both share a creamy, pleasant base (although, if we can believe the information here, it’s not even the same :) Luckily, I can hardly smell patchouli in either case..).

I search in vain for bergamot. Rose/jasmine/green tea form a harmonious heart note, leaning more towards a lovely body lotion than a sweet bouquet of flowers. I don’t find it particularly chypre either, as musk dominates for me. Overall, it has an elegant creaminess without becoming too powdery/sweet.

The longevity on my skin is fantastic! Sillage is medium, which makes it very suitable for everyday/work use in my eyes. Still smells good on clothing even after days.

I like the slim, quite simple yet stylish bottles with their striking closures. The colors of the ribbons also reflect the different fragrance directions well.
Available in 50 and 100ml.

PS: Sisley sells it as unisex, but in my perception, it’s quite feminine due to the choice of flowers. Are there any gentlemen out there who might be tempted to provide a more detailed review? I would really be interested to see if it works for them too.
