Izia La Nuit

Sisley is known for its iconically sultry and very potent fragrances. Elegance and Sisley are sisters! In the case of Izia La Nuit a great injustice has been done! The gorgeous black bottle which elicits every notion of mystery, sensuality and beauty along with its dark name leads any perfume lover to believe Izia La Nuit will be all the above and more! I imagined something akin to Soir de Lune or even Soir d’Orient, intricately rich and exotic Not even close! And why I say a great injustice has been done to this fragrance is because there is nothing wrong with it at all it’s just that it IS NOT what it purports to be! More than likely because the original Izia already existed they wished to seize the day and market something in connection with it. Why they totally misrepresented this very fruity, quite linear and joyful DAY time smelling fragrance is beyond me! Izia Eau Fruitee would have sufficed. And if you love Eau Capitale don’t even dream this berry cocktail is similar! Cheers!

Sometimes, all a princess wants is to shed her mortal skin, to peel off the layers of silk, velvet, gold and priceless jewels and strip bare to her primal form, cavorting nude amongst the rose bushes, citrus groves, and black currant shrubs that her spirit once called home. Before she met the mortal prince and fell in love, this is all her wild, rare fae spirit needed to feel whole. Occasionally, when the moon was full and the humans were asleep she would dance under the moon unmasked and translucent like a single petal fluttering in a warm breeze, her opalescent wings unfurled and trembling.

Once dried down, it mainly resembles the soft powdery scent of fresh roses - and as someone who is not kneen on powdery fragrances, Izia La Nuit Sisley is not overwhelming so. The patchouli definately leans it towards a more mature smelling scent, but not in an 'out-dated' way. It also reminds me of Fenjal deodorant, and after Googling Fenjal's classic scent they do share quite a few notes, from what I can tell - orange, rose, patchouli and vanilla. It's a fine perfume, but nothing amazing - it's neither an everyday nor special ocassion fragrance for me, but I can see it being that for some

Smells expensive. Smells Sisley. A modern twist on Eau Du Soir.

Sisley has added a new line of perfumes which seem to be a variation on a lighter theme of the original Eau du Soir perfume which appears to be a masterpiece perfume fit for a queen. This perfume is a much lighter and more youthful version of Eau du Soir. This is scrumptiously gorgeous, a beautiful blend that reminds me a little of Delina De Marley -- only this still the signature DNA of Sisley that makes that fragrance line so distinguished. I love how this perfume wore the first hour or so on my skin. This is a really nice blend with my chemistry. I will have to spritz this perfume again and pay more attention to how this perfume wears for several hours of wear. I have always admired Eau Du Soir (the original perfume) but personally felt like it was just wayyyy too heavy for me, even though I may really love the smell of it. This is a Queen's perfume, but it wears much more mature than the other perfumes that I'm typically drawn to. Eau Du Soir is in the same type of range as other heavy perfumes from the 1980's and early 1990's (Fendi, Coco Channel, Paloma Picasso, Panther, Youth Dew) where they almost over power, it is reminiscent of the shoulder pads worn by women during the 1980's. This new version is lovely. This may be one that I like even better than Delina De Marley. Will have to spritz this then keep and eye and nose on how this sets up on the skin several hours after spraying.
