Sisley Eau de 3

This is really special and refreshing for hot summer weather. It opens up bright and citrusy with a big squeeze of cool lemon, grapefruit and bergamot, super clean and refreshingly tart, with a subdued sweetness. As #3 dries down the spiciness of the ginger comes out, along with the vetiver, and the fragrance warms ever so slightly, as the citrus settles into a silky harmony with benzoin and vanilla, never quite fading. I don’t sense the patchouli. The drydown smells more floral to me, I only sense the osmanthus at the base of this, as if you have peeled the skin and arrived at the fruit. This reminds me slightly of Origins Ginger fragrance; it’s half of it... where that one never felt quite complete, this does. My favorite part is that it has the perfect amount of sweetness to be refreshing and adult. Absolutely unisex. The sillage starts out huge and quickly shrinks to skin scent, and the longevity is a bit weak, which I expected from a citrus cologne. I only liked this in the winter... love it in heat and humidity.

Sisley No 3 is predominantly ginger, lemon & patchouli to my nose. It smells uncomplicated, lovely, & natural - & very refreshing. The ginger really adds a nice kick, which (imo) makes it really stand out from the usual "fresh" citrus type perfumes. I'm wearing it today & I just got a huge compliment :) Longevity is not great on my skin, but it's so lovely I'm not too bothered - it's a "spray liberally & don't worry" kinda thing !! I'm not usually mad about citrus scents, but I will definitely re-buy this one. Also totally unisex & inoffensive, just a great scent for summer.

This smells fantastic on me but true it is not long lasting, a very vibrant sexy spice to it love love love it! I tried every perfume at the sisley counter and no others there smelled feminine or like anything natural. Most smelled very synthetic and old No 3 comes close to the first whiff of a star gazer lily which is so fragrant and pleasing to me. Has a very young vibe to it and exotic in a good way as in fresh not powder like at all. I layer this with Jo Malone Orange blossom, to keep it going. I really wish this stuff lasted more than 2 hours but it does not.

The dry down has very little citrus. Just a touch of sweetness, not tart or sour. It's very much ginger, osmanthis and vetyver. I'm surprised Sisley classifies any of the Eau de Sisley as only feminine, because they're all so unisex, but this one especially leans masculine. I think it's the spiciness of the ginger (which lately is found in lots of male fragrances). This might be my favourite Sisley fragrance, or a tie with N° 2. It's not a typical fragrance, and people notice.

Unusual, fresh and moist. Some addition of grass. Citruses that splatter as you cut them. Warm spicy tinge enveloping the whole composition. It is so enjoyable, very tasteful perfume for warmer days. I even want to say almost like a hot summer version of Shalimar. The zest and citrusy side is so similar along with the warming touches of amber in Shalimar and ginger, benzoin in Sisley 3.

They tested this fragrance on me about 10 days ago, after a "beauty" with Sisley treatment products and I immediately loved it. Though it reminds me of Dupont's Essence Pure, I find it still more elegant. I bought it today and I wore my own sisley 3 today for the first time: it enable me to enjoy a magnificent busy afternoon in winterly Montevideo today.

I love the ginger at the top of this fume but unfortunately it become too weak in half an hour. So I have tried it for layering. This gem added to vanilla scents, like Hard Candy for example, gives both freshness and spiciness to sweet fumes making them bereable also in hot weather! Excellent experience!

I normalky wear Eau du Soir and love most Sisley scents. Includimg this one which is a wonderful sunny summer fragrance without the heavy florals and sweetness. It has a bit of a soapy, rich smell that gives me a confidence, luxury and style. If you enjoy Eau du Soir, you will most likely enjoy Sisley 3.

Classic chypre structure. Dudley’s classic chewy/classic patchouli underneath bright citrus and a spike (light) of spicy ginger. The center is softy hint of leather and a clean musk. This is beautiful, high quality ingredients, an interesting shift in chypre. I love Sisley’s gorgeous patch.

Opens kinda creamy citrus with a hint of orange. Kinda different from many mass appealing citrusy opening. Doesn't change much through the scent and seems kinda linear. I expected better but let's see what I do with this 50ml.. Ps. The drydown is nicer without the creaminess

My numero uno from entire line :) I nkow lounched long time ago... but.... I wont resist...my fav water... of course I respect others. For some reasons this is created for me its so special...when I have it in myself.

Here is another scent that I truly LOVE!!!! It is a great summer/early fall fragrance. It is clean, but yet complex. I also like mixing it with Sisley #1 for a lighter scent.

22. january 2014 Today i have purchased a gift set of all three "Eaux" each of 30ml and i am testing nr. 1 and nr.3 on each arm today. If i like any of them much i will go for a bigger 100ml bottle, they are on 50% sale at the moment, so it is a good chance to get them. The description of "nr.3" on the box says following: "Eaux de Sisley - fresh and creative fantasy. Eau de Sisley 3 - a spicy combination for an unexpected and whimsical fragrance". Everyone keeps talking about "spicy", even description says so, but i guess my meaning of spicy is something more like in "Opium". To me this "nr.3" is a soft, silky yet fresh fragrance. Sure there is a very dominant ginger note, but then again it is more like "zesty", not spicy at all. Refreshing without the punch in your face. Osmanthus is the second most prominent note to my nose in this fragrance and osmanthus in particualr gives that silky softness to this fragrance. I find this one very much enjoyable and the sillage of "nr.3" is much better than "nr.1" which i am testing today both on different arms. I also get that "peachy" note that everyone is talking about, i wonder which combination of notes produces that? It is even more refreshing than the " nr.1" and i think i have smelled something similar already, just don ́t remember what it was. The opening is quite similar to the Krizia ́s "My afrika", but only the opening, later it becomes something else. By far the "nr.3" is the winner in terms of sillage and lasting power opposite "nr.1". I might go for a 100ml bottle. P.S. This number is nothing unisex or masculine, strictly feminine IMO.

Wow I unexpectedly really like this. The opening of this was too aggressively citrusy for me. The first 10/15 minutes were uncomfortably akin to mosquito repellent (although with a more green citrus accord instead of straight up citronella). HOWEVER, as it dries down this disappears and the ginger and osmanthus begin to mingle with the citruses and a slight earthy sweetness from the base notes will eventually start to come through to form a lovely scent. The combination of the citrusy and somewhat herbal essence of this fragrance makes it that when I smell this I feel transported to the rustic kitchen of a old rural homestead in Southern Italy which is surrounded by a lemon orchard. Gorgeous (If you can ignore the slightly abrasive opening). Sillage is nothing to write home about however and I would class this as intimate to moderate. I would class the longevity as just a little over moderate. In my opinion somewhat overpriced for an Eau de Toilette perhaps

The opening is really strong, it may repulse some people. If you are a hardcore fan of citrusy fragrances, you will like Eau de Sisley 3. It is very citrusy, smells expensive and elegant, it is luminous and spicy. It reminded me of Saharienne by Yves Saint Laurent, but Eau de Sisley 3 is more feminine and balanced. And classier too. It is a high quality fragrance. It is not my cup of tea, because i am not a big fan of citrusy perfumes, but i can't deny it is great. In my opinion, it is the best in this genre. It smells like the most expensive soap in the entire world. Is it worth the money they're asking for? Yes, it is. Can you find a cheaper dupe? no, you can't. I will give it a 10/10, even though, like i said, it is not what i usually go for.

Elegant, not even a bit green, nor citrus on me. Ginger is dominant, with a bit of cyclamen, although not mentioned, has a calming effect on me. Disappears within minutes,although should last a lot longer when you take into account that this is a Sisley, but it's L'Eau, so I'm not surprised. The whole composition is softened with a hint of vanilla, which adds a feminine touch to it. Barely sweet, just enough to be pleasant. edit/ What a surprise! That creamy dry-down is so nice to feel, lasts for hours and is already on my wish list:) I was confused with a slight start, but actually I enjoy it so much wanting more and more. Not so weak, just not loud.

I absolutely love this perfume. It's my favourite of the 3 Eau de Sisley perfumes. It's not as sharp as 1 and 2; but for me it has perfect combination of the brightness of the ginger, the freshness of the citrus and a beautiful creamy peachy scent which I guess is the osmanthus. Like Amelie, I was originally disappointed by the staying power but later realised that the peachy dreamy part is what stays - and it's my favourite part!

To me, this frag is an equal blend of three aspects: firstly, the fruity aspect (osmanthus and ginger notes), secondly the green/aromatic aspect(vetiver & patchouli) and thirdly the citrusy aspect. The outcome is a blend which I see would make this frag a good all-rounder. Initially loud but the drydown appears to be close to skin. Might last longer on clothes. P.S. I do not find the ginger as dominant as other reviers did

To me, this is a spicy, gingered orange. I was pleased that the lemon was very muted and almost undetectable to me. I was looking forward to all of those lovely base notes, but this disappeared before I could enjoy them. I like this scent, but it doesn't last long enough for this price range and I would have to reapply every couple of hours. It doesn't even last on my clothes. What a shame.

I have been wearing this off and on for years. I love the ginger note and it sometimes makes me think 'peach pie!' but in a good way. I don't usually like fruity scents at all. It is light and I find it comforting but the staying power is very poor. I am on my second bottle but will not repurchase as I like a perfume that stays with me and it is pricey. Not enough bang for my buck.
