Eau du Soir 2013
Eau du Soir 2013 keeps Sisley’s classic floral chypre formula and wraps it in a limited edition bottle, so the focus is still the scent’s polished, traditional character. Bright mandarin and grapefruit give the opening lift, then moss, pepper, rose, iris and jasmine build a rich woody floral heart over amber and musk. It wears with a confident, evening-leaning presence and feels.

The wear data suggests strong performance. Longevity trends clearly long, with several votes also in the eternal range, while sillage appears moderate to strong and can feel larger on some wearers. This is not the sort of floral that disappears quickly, so it usually suits evening wear or anyone comfortable with a noticeable scent trail.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
This is a woody, spicy floral chypre with a bright citrus opening and a dense, mossy floral heart. Mandarin and grapefruit lift the first minutes, then pepper, juniper, patchouli and moss shape the perfume as much as the florals do. The base of musk and amber adds warmth, but the overall impression stays dry, aromatic and structured rather than sweet.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe accords feel layered rather than blended into a soft blur. Woody, fresh spicy and aromatic tones show up early, then the earthy and mossy side gives the florals a darker, more tailored frame. White florals soften parts of the heart, but they do not erase the chypre backbone, and the small touch of sweetness stays secondary throughout wear.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Sisley Eau du Soir 2013 Review”
Eau du Soir 2013 is not a reinvention of Sisley’s fragrance, it is a limited edition presentation of the established Eau du Soir in a new bottle. That matters for shoppers, because the decision here is really about whether you want this particular collector edition of a classic floral chypre. The scent itself keeps the house’s rich, layered structure, and it wears with the kind of poise that feels deliberately traditional.
The opening starts with mandarin and grapefruit, giving a brief citrus brightness before the heart takes over. From there, the fragrance becomes much more complex and textured. Pepper, juniper, moss and patchouli add dryness and lift, while rose, jasmine, iris, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley and syringa flesh out the floral side. It does not come across as a fresh modern floral. It reads denser, greener, spicier and more composed than that.
What makes this style distinctive is the chypre shape underneath the flowers. The mossy, earthy and woody elements are not background details. They help define the perfume from the start of the heart onward, giving the florals a tailored, almost formal structure. Amber and musk soften the base without turning it creamy or overly sweet. Even with the floral heart, the scent profile stays more dry and aromatic than plush.
In wear, Eau du Soir 2013 can feel commanding. The available performance data points to very strong longevity, and the projection appears moderate to strong, with some wearers also reading it as quite expansive. That gives it more presence than many contemporary floral perfumes. If you want something discreet for close office wear, this may feel too assertive. If you enjoy a fragrance that announces itself and develops slowly through the day, it makes more sense.
Taste matters a lot here. This is likely to suit people who already enjoy classical floral chypres, moss, spice and a more mature perfume silhouette. It is less likely to win over someone searching for a soft shampoo-fresh floral, a sweet fruity scent, or an easy blind buy. The style is elegant, but it is also specific. Sampling first is the smart move unless you already know the original Eau du Soir.
The 2013 bottle adds another layer to the appeal. Sisley framed it as a luxury limited edition in emerald green with gold detailing, so presentation is part of the point. If you collect annual Eau du Soir bottles, this edition makes sense. If you only care about the juice, the main question is simpler: do you want a polished, mossy floral chypre with strong character and old-school composure. If the answer is yes, this still has plenty to offer.
FAQs
What does Eau du Soir 2013 smell like?+
It smells like a classic floral chypre with a citrus opening, a dense floral heart, and a mossy, woody, ambery dry-down. The overall feel is elegant, spicy and slightly earthy rather than sweet or playful.
Is Eau du Soir 2013 different from the original Eau du Soir?+
The available information indicates the composition stays unchanged. This 2013 release is presented as a limited edition bottle variation rather than a new interpretation of the scent.
Is Eau du Soir 2013 very floral?+
It is floral, but not in a light airy way. The florals sit inside a more structured chypre frame with moss, patchouli, spice and woods, so it feels richer and more formal than a simple bouquet scent.
Does Eau du Soir 2013 lean sweet?+
Not especially. There is some warmth from amber and a touch of softness in the base, but the main impression is woody, spicy, aromatic and mossy.
How strong is Eau du Soir 2013?+
It usually reads as a strong fragrance. The available wear votes point to long wear with moderate to strong projection, and some users also place it in the enormous sillage range.
Is Eau du Soir 2013 long lasting?+
Yes, the wear data suggests strong staying power. Most of the available longevity votes sit in the long lasting to eternal range.
When is the best time to wear Eau du Soir 2013?+
It looks best suited to evening wear, and it can also make sense in cooler or transitional weather. Its richer chypre structure may feel a bit much if you want something very casual or breezy.
Is Eau du Soir 2013 good for summer?+
It can work if you enjoy assertive classic florals, but it does not read like a fresh summer scent first. Many people may prefer it more in spring, autumn or cooler evenings.
Who would enjoy Eau du Soir 2013 most?+
It is likely to suit someone who enjoys classic French floral chypres, mossy textures, and a more formal polished style. If you prefer very sweet gourmands or sheer clean musks, this may feel too traditional.
Does Eau du Soir 2013 smell old-fashioned?+
Some wearers may find the mossy floral chypre style distinctly classic. Whether that feels refined or dated depends on your taste, but this is clearly not built in a modern fruity-sugary direction.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREEvidence is too thin for confident dupe claims, and this is not the sort of perfume that usually has a close budget stand-in without losing its chypre character. The most sensible comparison is the regular Eau du Soir, since the composition here is presented as unchanged. If you are unsure, compare editions first rather than chasing supposed duplicates.
