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 is enchanting, filled with imagination, where inspirations from different generations intertwine, collide, and complement each other—those of the d’Ornano family, founders of Sisley. Their dreams have inspired the brand’s creativity, starting with green notes. Geranium, considered the masculine rose, emits an intense and aromatic peppermint-like scent, with green notes and hints of damp earth. This rich blend of ingredients gives the perfume a sophisticated and natural character. Imagine visuals bursting with greenery, freshness, and originality. This is a totally unique fragrance, unlike anything I have ever smelled before—fresh, distinctive, and deliciously enigmatic.
In L’Eau Rêvée d’Hubert, we can expect the unexpected and surprising, with the following notes:
- Top Notes: Mint, Shiso Leaves, Buchu Leaves
- Heart Notes: Geranium, Papyrus, Cedar
- Base Notes: Ambroxan, Oak, Patchouli
Perfumery has long been defined by distinctions between "masculine" and "feminine" fragrances. Traditionally, women’s perfumes tend to feature floral, fruity, and sweet notes, while men’s fragrances are woody, spicy, and fresh. However, this classification has become less relevant with the rise of unisex perfumes, which prioritize the olfactory experience over gender labels.
Unisex perfumes are designed for anyone to wear, without an imposed gender divide. Instead of relying on notes traditionally linked to masculinity or femininity, these fragrances seek balance and versatility, blending elements from different scent families to create neutral and multifaceted compositions.
Historically, perfumes were not gendered. For centuries, men and women wore similar fragrances, particularly in ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The division between men’s and women’s perfumes only emerged with industrialization and modern marketing. In the 1990s, the revolution began with the launch of CK One (Calvin Klein, 1994), one of the first unisex fragrances to achieve massive commercial success.
The unisex perfume trend continues to grow, driven by a consumer base that values freedom and authenticity. Additionally, today’s buyers are more focused on quality and fragrance identity than on the industry’s imposed categories.
Ultimately, a perfume is an extension of one’s personality, regardless of labels. After all, scent is subjective, and the best fragrance will always be the one that makes you feel good.

How to use it?
Applying perfume correctly is essential to maximize its longevity and impact.
- Choose the right application points: Apply perfume to the warmest areas of the body, which help diffuse the fragrance throughout the day. These include the wrists, behind the ears, the base of the neck (if not exposed to the sun), the elbows, and behind the knees.
- Do not rub the perfume: Rubbing your wrists together after applying perfume can alter its composition. Instead, gently press the skin to allow the fragrance to settle.
- Maintain the correct spraying distance: Hold the bottle 15-20 cm away from the skin when applying.
- Less is more: Start with a small amount and increase only if necessary.
- Avoid sensitive areas: Do not apply perfume on sensitive areas such as the face or irritated skin.
