Sisley Paris

Sisley is a French company that creates and distributes skincare and make-up products, along with very fine perfumes. The d'Ornano family has been specialised in the creation of cosmetics for three generations and has created several world-renowned brands. When Hubert d'Ornano founded Sisley in 1976, the aromatherapy and phytotherapy wave had not yet hit Europe. The use of botanical active ingredients and essential oils in beauty products was still a highly innovative concept. Hubert d'Ornano understood very early on that the plant world offers an extensive field of research (there are around 800 000 different plants on Earth) given that the life of man is closely dependent on that of plants - to breathe, eat and heal. He was a true pioneer, combining know-how and a rigorous approach to specialise his research laboratories in Phytocosmetology.
