History

In 1972 perfumer Jean-François Laporte and Roland de Saint-Vincent, created a perfume company.[2] Hubert d'Ornano acquired this company in 1976, re-naming it Sisley in reference to the Impressionist painter.

Hubert d'Ornano reorganized the company and focused Sisley's research in phytocosmetology.[3] He relied on the research of chemist Egmont Desperrois for his products. He came up with the idea to use essential oils and active ingredients extracted from plants in the beauty products.[4]

Operations

Sisley is a medium-sized business, in 2019, the group employed nearly 4,500 people internationally.[5] Sisley’s products are sold in department stores, pharmacies, spas and beauty salons. In recent years Sisley has also opened its own stores around the world. In 2019, there were about twenty boutiques and Maisons Sisley.

Sisley's headquarters is in Paris. The company designs and manufactures its products in France. France is the companies biggest market, followed by China.[6]

Philanthropy

Under the current head of the company, Philippe d'Ornano, the Sisley-d’Ornano Foundation was created in 2007 to "provide a framework for the charitable work and sponsorships led by the company".[7] The Foundation is under the auspices of the Fondation de France.

In a 2015 article by Gwyneth Paltrow's "lifestyle brand" GOOP Sisley, Paris, appears in a list of the 9 'Most Luxurious' body treatments in the world. Sisley is included in the list as the Sisley Supremya Facial, Sense Spa at the Carlyle Hotel, New York, which involves "massaging a laundry list of wildly-expensive Sisley creams and serums into your skin." The at-home version of the experience is described as a "bottle of Supremya Night serum ($795, sisley-paris.com) costs more than the facial at the Carlyle; it does last longer, however".[8]

The popularity of the skin care range is highlighted by inclusion in popular Francophile 'Everyday Parisian' website. Where in an article about skin care Sisley features, with one product being described as "This one is a splurge but works the best!"[9]

Sisley Sileÿa Eye and Lip Contour Cream (£115) appeared in a 2014 Guardian Beauty review, with the comment "you're paying for that umlaut".[10]
