A FAMILY COMPANY
Sisley's story is based on a family adventure and over eighty years of experience and research.
In 1976, Hubert d’Ornano launched Sisley with his wife Isabelle, after the success of his first cosmetics business alongside his father and brother.
She works hand in hand with her children. Philippe d’Ornano, her son, is the President of Sisley. He is in charge of building the company’s global strategy. Christine d’Ornano, her daughter, is Deputy Managing Director and is charged with developing the brand’s image. Daria Botin, Isabelle d'Ornano’s granddaughter, is Head of Sisley’s In-house Creative Studio.
A French Company
Most of Sisley’s skincare and make-up products – as well as its perfumes – are designed, developed and manufactured in France.
Autres informations
The company’s Research and Development laboratories, logistics platform and most of its administrative services are located in Saint-Ouen l’Aumône, in the Val-d’Oise department, outside of Paris.

The Blois center, located in the Loir-et-Cher department, is in charge of manufacturing and packaging the brand's beauty products.
Designed in accordance with the highest quality control and environmental requirements, this ultra-modern factory is one of the most innovative establishments of its generation.

Sisley’s headquarters are located in Paris’ 8th district, on Avenue de Friedland, in a High Quality Environment (HQE) certified building. Since 2017, it has housed the brand's marketing, digital and commercial services.
In the 1930s, this Art Deco building was the headquarters of the Aéropostale Company of Mermoz and Saint-Exupéry aviators.
The French cosmetics industry firmly remains the world leader in the sector with 3,200 companies and 250,000 direct jobs. The Cosmetic Valley centre of excellence has been coordinating the French industry for 30 years and covers several regions including the Centre-Val de Loire. Sisley has invested in its production facilities in the heart of this region, with a factory in Blois and another factory planned for Vendôme.
Sisley is considered to be a medium-sized company (an “ETI” or Intermediate-sized Company).
These companies, which employ 250 to 5,000 people, are the major economic driving force of the regions where their headquarters and various sites are located.
Thanks to a selective distribution network, the company has benefited from one of the strongest growths in the sector worldwide.

Sisley in dates
Entrepreneurial spirit
In 1946, when Hubert and Michel d’Ornano were still in their early 20s, they created a small perfume company by the name of “Jean d’Albret”.
Family spirit
In 1953, they joined forces with their father Guillaume and their mother Elisabeth to create the skincare brand Orlane, which would become a leading player in cosmetics at that time. They would sell the company in the late 1960s.
Sisley is born
Together with his wife Isabelle, Hubert d’Ornano set off on a new adventure – Sisley. Backed by a talented research team, they firmly believed that natural ingredients were the most promising area in cosmetics research.
First products
Sisley launched its first skincare and makeup range as well as its first iconic perfume, Eau de Campagne.
Ecological Compound
Sisley's Ecological Compound was created in 1980. Hydrating and revitalizing, this essential skin care was designed to protect the skin's ecology. Ideal for both men and women, it quickly became the brand’s bestseller and is appreciated across the world.
Restorative Cream
Formulated to repair damaged skin, Sisley's Restorative Cream soon established itself as an indispensable cream adopted by the entire family. This cult product also sets itself apart with its distinctive fragrance, which is well-received.
Eau du Soir
Inspired by Isabelle d’Ornano's childhood memories of the Alcazar Palace gardens in Spain, when the air was filled with the fragrance of Seringa flowers at nightfall, Eau du Soir is a chypre fragrance with a very personal sillage that is both elegant and seductive. Today, it is a global phenomenon and the brand’s bestselling perfume.
Sisleÿa Global Anti- Age
Based on 10 years of research, Sisleÿa unveiled a revolutionary approach to anti-aging, offering a comprehensive and complex formula to counteract the known causes of aging. Enriched with over 50 plant extracts, this firming, hydrating, anti-wrinkle and anti-free radical cream was met with great international acclaim. The formula was changed only once in 2016 to incorporate new research on behavioral aging, becoming Sisleÿa L'Intégral Anti- Age.
Creation of the French factory in Blois
To continue manufacturing its products in France, Sisley acquired a site in Blois, where the company was able to heavily invest in one of the most advanced cosmetics factories in the world.
All Day All Year
Cutting-edge, All Day All Year was one of the first products to use epigenetic research. This anti-aging daily skin care acts as a double shield, protecting the skin from external factors. Its combination of key ingredients stimulate the skin’s barrier function to enhance its defenses.
Creation of the Sisley-d’Ornano Foundation
The Sisley-d’Ornano Foundation is active in the fields of health, solidarity, education, culture and the environment.
Inauguration of the Saint-Ouen l’Aumône site
The company’s rapid development and growth led to a move from Gennevilliers to a new site in Saint-Ouen l'Aumône in the suburbs of Paris. This ultra-modern facility was designed in accordance with French environmental standards (HQE), complete with the largest solar roof in the Île-de-France region, bringing together research laboratories, a logistics platform and part of the company's administrative services.
Black Rose Cream Mask
The bestselling mask today in select perfume shops in France, the Black Rose Cream Mask was the first product in one of Sisley's most iconic range, which includes the Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream, the Precious Face Oil and, most recently, the Eye Contour Fluid.
A new generation following in the founders’ footsteps
Having joined Sisley in 1986, Philippe d'Ornano succeeded his father as President of Sisley in 2013 and continues to build the company's global strategy with his mother and sister, Christine, as well as with the French and international teams.
The Twists
The Twists marked a new stage in Sisley’s makeup innovation with a skincare formula and original colours. Convenient, playful and attractive,the twist was a multi-purpose makeup product that could be used on the lips, eyes and cheeks. Their success encouraged the brand to develop a wide range of makeup with skincare benefits.
Izia
This feminine fragrance is inspired by a unique rose from Isabelle d'Ornano's gardens in Berry, France. The name Izia is Isabelle’s nickname in Polish, her country of origin.
Inauguration of the new headquarters
Sisley moved to an Art Deco building at 3, Avenue de Friedland, in Paris’ 8th district. The building was renovated in compliance with French environmental standards (HQE). This move enabled the company to create the Maison Sisley, the brand's very first boutique/ institute in the heart of the city, located at no. 5 on the same street. At the same time, the company launched Trois Cinq Friedland, a cultural season with exhibitions, debates, conferences and preview screenings, encouraging new encounters between art and culture and promoting charitable causes.
Hair Rituel by Sisley
For the second time in its history after the founding of Sisley, the company launched a new brand specialized in hair care. With Hair Rituel by Sisley, the company applied its beauty and skincare expertise to the hair and scalp with the slogan, “Haircare is the new skincare”. Created in response to widespread demand, this brand has been a great success.
Maisons Sisley
Additional Maisons Sisley opened in Lyon, Bordeaux, Prague and Munich and will be opening soon in Madrid and Moscow. You can now immerse yourself in the world of Sisley and discover a haven of well-being in the heart of several cities around the world.
