Product watch: Winter scents that impress

Your perfume has much to contend with this time of year, with damp wool and lashings of anti-frizz/root-boosting spray leading the charge.

Sisley Eau de Soir, €197/100ml

Sisley’s signature scent gets a limited-edition bottle for Christmas. The newly-sapphire flacon remains crowned by an 18-carat matte gold-plated stopper designed by Polish sculptor Bronislaw Krzysztof. Countess Isabelle d’Ornano was given the first bottle of Eau de Soir in 1990 by her husband and business partner Count Hubert. He created a bespoke floral composition centred on the Spanish lilac syringe, to prompt memories of her childhood in Alcazar. Its intense and romantic scent is enhanced by chypre, amber and musk. One for the lovers.
