Sisley Eau d'Ikar Eau de Toilette 50ml is the first-ever masculine fragrance from the celebrated French luxury skincare and makeup house Sisley Paris — a creation 20 years in the making, launched in 2011. Built around the unusual Mediterranean shrub Lentisk (Mastic), this refined composition pairs sparkling citrus and carrot seed with an aromatic floral-herbal heart and a sensual ambergris-sandalwood drydown.
About Sisley Paris
Sisley Paris is a French luxury beauty house founded in 1976 by the d'Ornano family, famous for its plant-based, science-led skincare and makeup.

The character of the scent
Eau d'Ikar is built around the unusual Mediterranean shrub mastic (lentisk) — a green, slightly resinous note that runs from the top through the heart and into the base, providing the fragrance's unmistakable signature. The opening sparkles with bergamot, lemon and bitter orange paired with the unusual carrot seed. The heart blooms into a refined floral-tea bouquet with iris, jasmine, white tea, sugar cane and herbs. The drydown is a luxurious second-skin finish — ambergris, sandalwood and vetiver wrapped together for a sophisticated, refined warmth.
Key benefits
- Distinctive, niche-luxury masculine signature built around the unusual mastic note.
- 20 years in the making — Sisley's debut masculine fragrance.
- Long-lasting on the skin thanks to its substantial woody base.
- Refined, sophisticated character — stands out from generic designer fragrances.
- Beautifully crafted Sisley flacon — gift-worthy and collectible.
Who it's for
Sisley Eau d'Ikar is for men who love refined, niche-luxury aromatic-woody fragrances — fans of Hermès Terre d'Hermès, Frédéric Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire or Maison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris Homme will recognise the family. The distinctive mastic signature makes it a particular favourite of those who reject mainstream designer launches in favour of more cerebral, niche-leaning choices. A natural pick for grown-up wear.
How to wear it
- Apply to clean, moisturised skin — moisturiser holds the ambergris-sandalwood drydown for longer.
- Spray onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- For a softer halo, mist once into the air and walk through it.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together — it bruises the bright citrus opening.
- Works year-round — particularly suited to grown-up wear, office, evenings and special occasions.
