I know a lot of people like it, but to me this is just a citrusy rose. Not bad, but nothing spectacular either. I tested it multiples times, to see if it would grown on me, but nope. A nice fresh flowery fragrance, but that’s it.
Sillage and longevity are unremarkable.
RobotBender – :
This beautiful perfume was on my want list for a long time, because it smelled so very good on the paper..
But when I tested it on my skin it went blaaa.. So very sorry, because it is so wonderful 🙁
replicae34025 – :
A very sophisticated fragrance that opens with a sharp aldehydic note, though it dries a peppery citrus scent on my skin. I don’t smell this often, which is why I fell in love with it immediately. If you can, please grab a bottle for your collection.
vcdx – :
Izia smells sugary sweet with soft mild florals. I’m surprised that the lump of sugar is not in the notes pyramid. I didn’t get any classic aldehyde, what I got was a hint of artificial harshness in the beginning, possibly from the pink pepper (pink pepper and I don’t get along). Once the harshness mellows out, it just stays sugary sweet throughout the wear. I’ve smelled another perfume identical to Izia, but I cannot recall what it is. The dry down is pleasantly soft like a lullaby. Projection is moderate to heavy.
ROHARAMUBBACY – :
I got a sample of Izia with a purchase and was quite surprised from the first spray. When I think of Sisley, I think of mature, vintage-y fragrances, but this is a fresh fragrance, grown-up but modern.
Rose is the main note, framed by bergamot and angelica. I really like the herbal angelica note here. I can also sense the aldehydes, that are sparkly and effervescent, not old-school and musty. For some reason I even imagined a grapefruit note to be there – maybe just because of the grapefruit-like coloring of the bottle. Anyways, this is a high quality smelling, fresh, tart, juicy interpretation of rose. Beautiful and intense, crisp and cool and great for warm days.
I’m not looking for fresh rose fragrance at the moment, but if I was, Izia would be a possible favorite.
usehicspoonse – :
I really fall in love with this perfume .
it is floral/citrus perfume with amber base note
I smell gorgeous bergamot when I spray it first
then I notice beautiful rose note after 5 mins
after 1-2 hrs I notice soft amber note
what makes this fragrance so special to me is that you can smell each ingredient alone. you can smell rose notes, citrus notes and amber cedar notes blended perfectly together.
it is more citrus than aldehydic so don’t expect Chanel No 5 vibes.
overall: 8/10
I highly recommend it if you want fresh citrus perfume for summer
عطر صيفي رائع ومنعش

Romantic rose perfume in the Sisley style! Sophisticated yet natural. Beautiful tea rose surrounded with citrus, powder, and spices that make it a complex, yet super easy to wear scent. Sillage and longevity both excellent. Very pretty and fresh.
Amandine Clerc-Marie, a prolific perfumer, also created Mugler’s new scent Aura. Her style is modern, and Izia is one of her best IMHO. This is a great everyday perfume you can wear anytime and not get tired of it. So entirely likeable, that everyone I encounter when I wear it asks about my perfume. Plus I love the ‘almost sachet-like’ beauty that I smell all day under my clothes. This is a rose perfume with no thorns!
nassa – :
Just blind bought this based off the reviews I read on line and will edit once the weather turns warmer. So far I like it as I’m a citrus and a rose fan. Others have noted this has a modern vibe, but Izia has an authentic, old fashioned tea rose scent to me (I have them in my garden). Bergamot is blended well in the top and middle, sharing the stage with rose.
Uplifting and clean, yes. But I can’t detect one of my favorite notes: Angelica. I do pick up the musk and woody base. This stays close to me, with no sillage and little projection, longevity is about 3.5-4 hours. Looking forward to wearing this in a few months.
JaReD – :
This is a tentative review, based on fairly limited experience with this fragrance.
I got a tiny sample of this at the local fragrance bar on January 21st. I was actually looking for something else entirely, and the first spray of this left me underwhelmed. But, I kept going back to it and eventually left the shop with samples of this, 24 Faubourg and Baccarat Rouge as well as test strips with all three sprayed on them.
I can still clearly smell Izia and 24 Faubourg today on the cardstock . I had been trying to decide what Izia reminded me of and had almost dismissed it when I realized that the opening reminded me too much of my usual shampoo. Not a bad scent, but not something I’d like spending $100 plus on.
Yesterday, I tried it anyway. My day off, didn’t have to worry about choking anyone but me if it was too much. I spritzed a couple times and went about my business. Last evening, the BF informed me that I smelled really good. Asked if he was sure it wasn’t my hair. He was most adamant that it was not and that it was really nice. That’s about as sophisticated as he gets, but it does make me believe that I really can’t smell myself part of the time and that I shouldn’t write Izia off just yet.
It is 8pm and I put this on around 11am when I went to lunch. Now, I can clearly smell roses–beautiful, sweet summer roses–not too heavy, but just there. Lovely.
28th June 2018
I wore Izia to work today and my two female co-workers just stopped as soon as I walked in and were like “your perfume is awesome!” One could detect the citrus note, the other could not. Three light sprays from the tiny sample bottle. I went to work at 11am and I couldn’t smell it on myself then, but caught faint whiffs a couple hours later. At 9pm when I left work, I walked out into the warm summer night in a faint cloud of heavy summer roses. I wish I could actually smell this as well as my co-workers can–I’d love to enjoy this scent all day, but it seems my nose doesn’t work right. Still, it’s great to know that my co-workers like it as much as I do. At 11pm, I’m still catching faint hints of rose, very soft and sweet. I may have to purchase this.
P.S. Both Izia and 24 Faubourg are still detectable in the cardstock from 21st January. How?
prosto787 – :
I work in a rose garden and am somewhat familiar with the different categories of scent in roses. As far as i know there are 4 (please correct me if i am wrong) namely:
1 Tea rose scent
2 myrrh rose scent
3 citrus rose scent
4 fruity rose scent
Izia is the most natural citrus rose scent i have come across. Most rose perfumes i have tried were too sour or synthetic to be fully enjoyed by someone so spoiled as me.
Perfectly blended with a very discrete woodsy base. Effortless French chic for the summertime. Not exactly a powerhouse but reasonable performance with 4 hours or so in cold weather(the last two close to the skin). Can not wait to try this one out in the summertime. The bottle is gorgeous: round bottle in sunset hues with heavy glass cap.
herald9822 – :
On me it was citrusy dish soap for 45 min or so. Then when I’ve already written it off, it amazingly turned into a rose while the soap gets fainter and fainter. This happened both times I tried it. The rose reminds me of Stella or what I remember of it (I haven’t smelled it in ages after using up a full bottle) but fresher. After that initial horrific dish soap stage, the feminine rose stays pretty to the end.
I got my small vial in the monthly subscription box directly from Sisley. And it just came out not too long ago so I guess low chance of getting a bad one.
Re: some reviews here. Nothing like Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate at all. If you’re expecting a similar vibe, boy you’ll be disappointed.
Edit: It is not what I want but I appreciate how pretty the rose stage is, and how long lasting given it’s without heavy musk, vanilla, incense, spices. Just yellow and pink roses. Strong and fresh. Enveloped in a smooth background. I don’t pick out individual notes except what I perceive as light musk.
barabaka1977 – :
Izia is a nice citrussy rose that makes me smile. I am not a very cheeful person but I lean towards uplifting and citrussy fragrances to give me a boost when I need them. Izia is unique for me as the aldehydes and citrus are blended with a romantic yet somehow spicy/stinging rose and amber which both make the perfume feminine, youthful and mischievous. It’s quite modern and trendy while affirming that it’s different from the fruitchouli and sugar bombs that flood the market today. That’s everything I wanted from a perfume and I’m very glad I found it.
Regarding the similarity with Hermès Eau de Rhubarbe, I get where it might come from but Izia is fresher, more feminine.
Edit : don’t be too quick to judge the perfume if you try it during winter as it really blooms in warmer weather, it gets smoother, less sour.
gasimpusa – :
I so much wanted to like it, but it is just way too citrusy for my taste. It is not bad, but the whatever citrus fruits inn there, they are amplified to the point of leaving me with a literally lemon/grapefruit taste in my mouth, a taste which I don’t particularly appreciate when combined with roses, the way it is made in this one. But again, de gustibus…. Not mine. Not bad though for those loving a citrus bomb.
bikkv – :
I want to counter a review here. It does not smell like Hermes Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate. I tried Izia on my left hand and Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate on my right hand and they are nothing alike. Izia is a fresh citrussy pink rose and Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate is fresh spicy berry. The Hermes one is sexier (probably because it’s unisex?). Izia is fresher.
The only thing they have in common is good sillage and more than 6 hours longevity. My 2 cents.
EmogDypeBeemE – :
Sisley sevdiğim bir marka.
Gül kokularından fazla hoşlanmadığım için düşük beklentiyle denedim Sevil de.
Çok parlak ferah bir açılış.
Bahar ve yaza uygun enerjik . Hemen parfümün ana karakteri olan gül devreye giriyor ve kapanışa kadar da öyle devam ediyor.
Yani gül kokusu seviyorsanız deneyin yoksa yaklaşmayın. Çünkü parfüm baştan sonra gül egemenliğinde ve bana tekdüze geldi kokusu.
Kabaca tabir edersek Isparta nın gülsuyu kokusuna ferah bir hava katılmış olarak düşünülebilir.
Yani bana gözümü kapatıp koklatsalar bunu “HMM kaliteli bir gülsuyu derdim”.
Dediğim gibi bu tarzı sevenler sevecektir ama bana ilgi çekici gelmedi.
Yayılımı ve performansı iyi.

Citrus highness
Izia is very well blended citrus fragrance. It´s unusual for fragrances with rose note but to me it´s all about fresh citrus notes. I find citrus fragrances to be macsuline usually but not here. Izia is fresh and feminine as well. You can smell and feel the quality. I do love it.
Booneeageld – :
I really want this, if you have it for swap,let me know. It smells exactly like Hermes Rhubarbe (in the red bottle ) but stronger and longer lasting . Sour roses, Rhubarbe, aromatic citrus, refreshing and youthful. I tried it from a sample from a generous fragrantican and fell in love .
Kaktus12 – :
Love citrus and love roses and this is a strange, fresh and bright combination of the two. It has a Demachy vibe somehow, that sparkling touch of his. I must say I quite like it. FB worthy.
асс – :
When I sprayed it on my first through was that it smells like color of this bottle. It’s like grapefruit with spicy background. Little bit floral, but it fast faded away. At some moments it’s like spoiled old raspberry-strawberry-grapefruit drink. Reason why I wanted to try this was because there was mentioned roses, but at least I didn’t sense any.
Neumninginc – :
This is very fresh and mature, I think it is quite suitable for work environment. My boyfriend says it smells really nice; he has a great taste in perfume, so I guess this is definitely going on my wish list 😉
danil1987 – :
as color indicates.. Sun and sun down…when a weather cools down… your body is after bath and you are taking walk along the beach in California or Copacobana…
You have a long dress… hair down, big smile and energy…
this energy is given from the sun…you have on yourself romantic, flowery exotic multi flowers -Izia.
You feel light and everyone around shares your energy and charge his energy with you…gold on the face.. watching the Sun goes down…
The Wind spreads… your scents around people…they feel your youth, erotism and excitment…carpe diem!

I blind bought Izia on impulse recently and I am really enjoying it so far.
Strong blast of lemon and bergamot on first-spray which is refreshing for the warm weather, but wouldn’t be a winner with me if this was the overall character of the fragrance.
It isn’t.
It quickly develops in to a divine rose I haven’t picked out in any other perfume and which I am completely in love with!
Its not rich velvety red rose or rosy essential oils, its the smell of pretty pink and yellow roses in the breeze on a sunny day.
A really lovely, unusual citrus-floral. Bravo Sisley!
EDIT: This is a lovely Spring/early Summer fragrance, but I wore it today on a cool Autumn day and the rose is lost. I just get very strong citrus notes. If you wore this on a cool day and didn’t like it, I’d say definitely worth trying again on warmer days, when the rose is so much prominent and lovely – on me, anyway.
Grooberog – :
From all the perfumes I’ve tested lately this really stands out in its uniqueness. The fragrance is quite unlike anything else I’ve smelled in the store or in my wardrobe. I kept thinking about it so much, I had to buy it in the end.
The pepper truly stands out for me in this. I can also detect the rose. It starts out rather refreshing and mellows down from there, although the sharp edge never quite disappears. I rather like the bottle too.
termit – :
Too sweet and reminds me of BABY DOLL by YSL . Tried to like it , Sisley generally is too heavy for my nose. Rose is heady , truth be told I don’t like rose oil .
Musk stands along and gives a cold vibe to the accord . The bottle is great .
kbboris – :
I have this perfume and I’m so happy for the smell that I use it many times from coco mademoiselle thank is my lovely perfume.
It is one of the best perfumes!!!!!!!!
supermegaman – :
It is beautiful, and unusual fragrance. What I immediately pick up in its start was galbanum (although it was not listed), it was so obvious and straight like a stick inside a bouquet that I start wondering, how it could be that popular, it is not at all an easy fragrance.
It is as peculiar as its first Eau de Campagne, and Eau du Soir. The rose comes later and it is beautiful, very calm and very refreshing. The best is to smell it from others, just like two already mentioned fragrances. What smells soapy on the skin, transforms into a beautiful freshly cut rose stems.
www.adi – :
This is so beautiful… Fresh, happy, citrusy and very fizzy but not brutal opening. Then we have got a rose. Not red deep, dark, powdery rose. Feminine and delicate, happy rose. Thats the best I can describe it. For me its very different than most of the roses on the market. Its like a walk, in a sunny but windy garden. I think its perfect for spring. The flacon is stunning, not expected. I think the artist have done a good job with the flacon. I highly recommend trying it! It stays for up to 14h on me (tested) but of course it gets very close to the skin.
kingston16gb – :
This is a luxurious take on the pinkest roses available at the market, the authentic feel of wild-roses in the bushes growing near the meadows. This kind of scent I have been looking for a long time. Izia is true to it selves and having an undeniable quality both the composition of the scent and also the design of the bottle. To me, it represents lean minimalism.
But. It’s quite heavy and sharp in a way that might start bothering me after a honeymoon with that new release. Also it’s a bit bothering to hear a brute-honest opinion of blind testing from a small, but bribable audience: “I can’t imagine who might be that person who would be brave enough to actually wearing this?”
Well, I am.
I have to say I find it very intriguing, regal and high standard perfume with impressive longevity, which is not that usual attribute in today’s perfumery industry anymore. It’s costly, but still I bought the smallest bottle right after it was released, enjoying it but hardly ever find a right moment to wear it. It’s not a suitable scent to my working environment and another event; casual or festive ones, I tend to choose something else to wear – so, as my summary of it is that it’s a beautiful high-quality perfume from Sisley, worth to try, but it hasn’t found a stabile place in my collection. Yet.
vit2030 – :
A new release from Sisley, and such a lovely unsweetened fruity floral it is. Truly a high-class perfume.
Izia opens with a burst of bergamot, pink pepper and fresh roses. I’m sure the aldehyde helps to give it a “sparkly” feeling. There’s the unmistakable Sisley “vegetal” base that can be detected right away, but for now the watery fruits and florals take much greater presence. Soon the citruses die down, and the alluring smell of fresh rose mixed with “vegetal” note (angelica according to the pyramid?) dominates the olfactive scene. It is not mind-blowing, but what a joy this fresh rose brings to my nose and my long-lost interest in fruity florals perfumes! Just that I have to give it credits.
After a good 6-7 hours the remains of Izia is a very pleasant mandarin orange scent with sweet musk and amber. I’m really impressed with how the perfume is composed to not be cloying at all at any stages.
The SA I chatted with said this is the one new release she needs to have in her collection. I agree. Izia is truly quite special.
Last thing: I’m not sure what people are saying about the bottle. I find it much more interesting than the regular rectangular bottles all “exclusive” perfumes are bottled in. It looks and feels much better in person.
piatka – :
Wonderfull.
A perfume with character, temperament.
A real abundance of fresh “natural” rose, with unusual little light spices. Smell like a lemon raspberry marmelade. A concert in orange.
Delicious, could be good also for a man. Almost a cold scent. a bit 90s style.
Reminds me a lot Palais Jamais by Etro and Essence by Grigioperla.
The bottle is Tremendous.
Infenehiesous – :
This didn’t strike me as anything special. It was forgettable.
vbif1213 – :
A light Rose, Cedar, Musk perfume perfect for all year around and all ages. Office friendly too. People who used to Sisley previous heavy perfume might be disappointed with Izia.
What lies in it, is Sisley did an excellent job on the Basenotes, the true character of the perfume, after the evaporate of the alcohol.
Rose perfumes from other brands I encounter, the basenotes can turn out bitter or medicinal, or not rose at all, a totally different smell.
For Izia, you can smell roses all the way till the basenotes. This perfume doesn’t cheat you, it’s roses all way down.
Plus, the bottle is pretty, not ugly as some people describe it.
Update: I finally found the perfume that is the best to describe how I feel about Izia. It’s Bvlgari Pour Femme. I know the Bvlgari is not rose, but it’s that aura, the style. When I spitz Izia, the women that comes in my mind are the Ladies like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Princess Rania of Jordan.
hanviktor35 – :
A rose in a cedar hedge: I am a fan of Eau du Soir by Sisley, but I find it now too strong. My favorite rose perfume is Rose de Grasse from Aerin. I got curious about this Izia due to the beautiful ad with the redhair model and the videos explaining the concept. The first sniff I got was cedar, not rose. The cedar reminded me of Terre d’Hermes. But after some time on the skin, the rose develops and it becomes quite addictive. After wearing it for one week, I decided to purchase the scent. It is really an unique rose.
nqb260Negeltzex – :
Very good scent …no doubt the sisley top quality is here!
A natural, crispy rose. I feel myself in a rose garden after the rain…very feminine, natural, “jolie” and very sisley, ´cause it has this French vintage touch, that makes this scent very charmant and special.
Izia is a very good suggestion for the upcoming spring!
Yuriy2 – :
The most citrusy rose I have ever encountered. A blinding blast of bergamot and metallic aldehydes with a shy rose becoming more and more prominent. Juicy, raspberry sweetness of its petals is evident but it retains a soapy character throughout the composition making it modern vintage chic.
Quissommilm – :
I love roses so I like this, but I would love it more if the rose wasn’t so overwhelmed by the fruity notes that do this loud soapy-creamy thing. I find this very girly and playful, but not really up to the high price tag. Like VC&A Oriens, this does not smell particularly expensive. Sillage is nice and not too over the top, longevity is verrry good. I wish the rose was allowed to do more of its thing.
4nok – :
One of the best real fresh cut roses scent out there ! Try it if you like roses 🙂
Jelomaivial – :
While the beginnig is fresh, airy, green and citrussy, the drydown is an ovewhelming, aldehydic/musky rose. The worst “rose note” I can think of. I DO LOVE ROSE! But this one is just too much… too musky, too aldedydic. These two notes ruin the whole thing, they take away all the beauty of the rose and freshness and youthfulness from the perfume… A single tiny blotter filled my wardrobe and half the corridor with this weird, old-fashioned aroma.
So yeah – the silage and longevity are great but otherwise it’s not my cup of tea.
Berlingio – :
Light citrus & rose scent. It is quite aldehydic, but there is also a green, subtly floral, musky wave. The base notes are really nice, too. If you like aldehydes in perfumes, try it. For me it’s just too much of them.
2ASSA2 – :
I can’t understand the buzz about the flacon in the earlier reviews of this parfume. Its roundness recalls the magnificent rose, and the sharp cut crystal-like handles protect it from falling on the floor, as the 100 ml bottle is quite heavy. Is it because the rose and the flacon come from Poland … somewhat out of fashion ? Maybe its better for those who don’t appreciate to pass their way, and leave this flagrance to those who like it, especially as in France some stores are already out of stock, and the D’Ornanos could be in trouble to insure enough Polish rose extract to keep production going.
StellarDiverFlynn’s comment here is an excellent review: this is a modern and very harmonious frag with a fabulous opening of well balanced bergamot and aldehydes. The musc-covered rose appears progressively under the control of angelica, amplifies for many hours without imposing itself like it does in Guerlain’s Nahema. The rose remains for 10-12 hours, discretely evolving into a superbe skin scent, modulated by amber and white floral notes. In La Rose des Vents, Vuitton needs 3 different roses (May, Turkish, and Grasse) to obtain a similar effect with muscs and Cedar, but also fruity gourmand notes which are unnecessary here, so majestic is the rose used by Sisley. It doesn’t need flashy clothes and shines almost all by itself.
A truly great frag !
blackknight47 – :
yesterday i bought this perfume and all day i spend to recognize which my old one was so same with this. Yes, i found, if you can get absolutely the same for the cheaper get Cacharel Promesse. the are the same. you can compare notes here, you’ll see.
kimi – :
very fresh pink rose, like dew drops on the rose petals… lasting power is weak though…but all in all nice and inoffensive scent.
salvados – :
JUST WONDERFUL!!!!!! THE best rose I’ve smelled in a very long time. Sampled it last night at Bloomingdales, a few feet away from a display for Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb. VR’s FB is pretty… Sisley’s Izia, however, will blow you away!!!!
znerg – :
On my skin, Sisley Izia opens with a fierce burst bergamot and clean, sharp aldehyde. The combined effect has a bit of lemon-flavoured, fizzy, green, soapy water on steroids, which more or less reminds me of the green, aldehydic opening of Eau du Soir. But since Izia lacks the mossy undertone of Eau du Soir, it’s brighter, more transparent and more modern.
10 minutes in, the rose starts to bloom under the glassy aldehyde. At first, it’s a wispy, limpid pink rose, largely overshadowed by soapy aldehyde and white musk. I wasn’t too keen on this kind of clean, almost laundry rose, but luckily, the angelica provides the necessary herbal counterbalance to anchor it.
Izia remains as this white musk-covered, frail pink rose about 1 hour. From then on, it improves as the rose starts to turning red and even a bit wine-like, the clean white musk is replaced by a subtle patchouli undertone and the aldehyde dissipates almost entirely. Izia is now a plush chypre rose, albeit a very gentle, tame one. If Soir de Lune speaks loudly and firmly, Izia murmurs and whispers.
Izia has a close sillage and lasts at least 8 hours on my skin.
Despite my personal struggle with soapy aldehyde and clean musky rose, the velvety rose dry down is quite refined and lovely, and I find Izia a solid offering in today’s market. I personally interpret the aldehyde opening and the low-key chypre rose dry down as a nod to Eau du Soir and Soir du Lune respectively, and Izia manages to repackage them within a modern context. If you are interested in a fresh rose, but with a bit more defining character, Izia might worth a try.
iwan73rus – :
I expected kind of a classy scent, a Sisley, but this is a smooth, fresh and almost creamy perfume..the bergamot gives it that fresh bright start, then the rose opens up, but not in a sharp way, it is a warm soft rose undertone, then the amber takes over, I truly like it, I detect very little aldehydes, this is like a fresh aromatic floral to my nose, I love it, as I found the other Sisley creations a bit too much on the heavy classy side…Izria is feminine, sunny, fresh and uplifting…it has a clean aura in a way…I have a sample thanks to Maen, but cannot comment on the bottle..although i read it was designed by a polish sculptor to represent two sand pebbles smoothed by the ocean waves over time..I will surely purchase it…Sisley did a great job mixing fresh and smooth notes on a floral base…it reminds me a bit of Eau Tropicale which I loved, in the fresh springlike vibe…very wearable, very pretty! Longevity is fine.
tolik2503 – :
Agree with Maen: the coral undertones suits very well the perfume, and the bottle, which looks ugly and tacky in the pictures, looks better when you hold it in the hand. However, it looks poor when it is along the Soir the Lune and the Eau du Soir.
I have just tested it this afternoon.
The first impression is discouraging. Something vaguely sweet and sticky, almost gelatinous. Fruit and medicinal herbs gumdrops. It is almost as weird and disgusting as it sounds.
“Oh, my goodness” -I thought- “Sisley has surrendered to the awful, awful fashion of fruitchouli perfumes”. Luckily, some minutes later, the hideous note of jelly beans vanished, and it came a rose scent. Not a botanic, or “á la ancienne” rose as it could be expected from Sisley, or a sumptuous one, but a very modern, transparent rose, with fruity touches and somewhat greenish and citric. Like roses falling down through a stream of water in a fountain of modern design. That is what I said the design of the bottle looked pretty suitable to the fragance. The base notes are ambery and very discreet, with something a bit coarse in them. I know that patchouli is not listed among main ingredients, but I am prone to believe there is some patchouli in the whole set.
Lasting power is good (I have washed my hands three times, and I can still feel the smell on them), sillage is moderate.
This is not a bad perfume, but in my opinion is somewhat mediocre and dissapointing. There is something in the way that Sisley seems to have taken that worries me a bit. For one thing, Izia has nothing to do with previous Sisley perfumes, that always have had a very conspicuous family resemblance. This Izia could be a sister of modern rose perfumes, like Annick Goutal’s Rose Pompon, the already discontinued Kiehl’s Patchouli and Fresh Rose, the long time ago disappeared Noche de Rosas de Adolfo Dominguez and the strongly reformulated Eau des 4 Reines by L’Occitane, but by no means can it be a relative to Soir de Lune or Eau du Soir. This perfume is not bad at all, but it smells like many other perfumes, and usually this is not a good signal. Is Sisley surrendering to the fruitchouli fashion? This is not a fruitchouli perfume, but it can be effortlessly classified a a fruity-floral. Is Sisley trying to appeal to a younger audience. Considering the price (this is the first Sisley perfume that I think is not worth what they ask for it), it seems not likely.
I say again: this is not a bad perfume (it is modern, wearable, clean and femenine), but from Sisley could be expected other thing.
Fielder2005 – :
Just got new Izia!!!, I am very happy to have it!!. Is a sooo beautiful scent, womanly, floral with a soft amber base.
Starts with a really bergamot explosion, but not too acid, aldehydes are there as well. The floral heart wich is the most prominent from the fragrance, is balanced with the top notes and the angelica, so never gets powdery or too floral, is a bitter floral ending in an amber base, moderate amber….
In all, makes a very feminine scent, elegant, classy being contemporany. Different from what they had launch, but very Sisley.
Doesn’t follow trendy or massive tastes, is unique!!.
Bottle is way better in person, has a coral undertone that makes it pretty.
Impoftmypejet – :
Izia will surely be good because Sisley takes time to create original perfumes.
Nevertheless, the bottle makes me think of an ugly massmarket bottle by Avon or Revlon. Let’s hope it will be better IRL than in photo.
raa – :
Well if we have to discuss only about the fragrance I suggest to the owners of the site to show off a fragrance only when the perfume itself is on the market, under the nose of everyone.
As a perfume concept is made also of design of the bottle, the name, and other choices, I think is fair, until the scent is not sniffable, discuss about this surround.
So I don’t think is honest cancel opinions of people about the look of a fragrance. We know this comments will be outclassed by other comments that will end up in the bottom of the list anyway when the scent will actually be in the shops and the notes of the fragrance and its composition will be more appropriately commented. We also knows that there is another space and article which talk about this new launching of Sisley. But in a few day will be invisible. This space will remain.
Pepole here (deleted comments) said this bottle look cheap like and Oriflame and Avon one, with a cup in plastic. Sombody says it look like something alien. I said it looks like an human cell , a bacteria, an amoeba. We do not like the bottle. So? Maisons have to be carefull with this aspect. It is fair they knows before. I also said that is an interesting mix this relaunch of floral aldehydes. Opinions. This is 2017. What is the matter? Are you not used with socials. This site lives of opinions and visitors who reads those.
TESTED NOW:
Wonderfull. Scent with character, temperament.
A real fresh natural rose, with unusual little light spices. Smell like a lemon raspberry marmelade.
Delicious, could be good also for a man. Almost a cold scent.
Reminds me a lot Palais Jamais by Etro and Essence by Grigioperla.
