Sisley's Eaux Rêvées collection is made up of six unisex fragrances with an ambivalent nature and ideal, in my opinion, for milder weather. These scents are fresh, floral, warm and spicy and reveal worlds full of mystery. This is a family business and L'Eau Rêvée d'Hubert pays homage to the brand's founder. In 1976, Hubert d'Ornano launched Sisley with his wife Isabelle, after the success of his first cosmetics business alongside his father and brother.
The Les Eaux Rêvées collection enchants, full of imagination where the inspirations of different generations connect, collide and complement each other - those of the d'Ornano family, founders of Sisley. Their dreams inspired the brand's creativity, starting with green notes. Geranium, considered the masculine rose, emits an intense and aromatic peppermint scent, with green notes and accents of damp earth. This combination of rich ingredients gives the perfume a refined and natural character. Think of images full of green, freshness and originality. This is a perfume totally unlike anything I've ever smelled, unique, fresh and so deliciously enigmatic.
We can expect the inexplicable and surprise in L'Eau Rêvée d'Hubert with the following notes:
- Top notes: mint, shiso leaves, Bucchu leaves
- Heart notes: geranium, papyrus, cedar
- Base notes: ambroxan, oak, patchouli
Perfumery has always been marked by distinctions between “masculine” and “feminine” fragrances. While women's perfumes tend to have floral, fruity and sweet notes, men's perfumes are traditionally more woody, spicy and fresh. However, this categorization has lost relevance with the growth of unisex perfumes, which value the olfactory experience over gender. Unisex perfumes are designed to be worn by anyone, without an imposed gender division. Instead of relying on notes traditionally associated with masculinity or femininity, these fragrances seek balance and versatility, mixing elements from different olfactory families to create neutral and multifaceted compositions.
Historically, perfumes were not divided by gender. For centuries, men and women wore similar fragrances, especially in ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece and Rome. The division began to emerge with industrialization and modern marketing. In the 1990s, the revolution began with the creation of CK One (Calvin Klein, 1994), one of the first highly successful perfumes to be marketed as unisex.
The trend for unisex perfumes is growing, driven by a public that is looking for more freedom and authenticity. In addition, consumers are more interested in the quality and identity of the fragrance than in the categorization imposed by the industry. In the end, a perfume is an extension of the wearer's personality, regardless of the label. After all, smell is subjective, and the best fragrance will always be the one that makes you feel good.
