In 1976, Hubert d’Ornano launched Sisley with his wife Isabelle, after the success of his first cosmetics business alongside his father and brother.

Today, Isabelle d'Ornano is still very much present in the company. She oversees the creation of products.

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 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

The majority of Sisley’s skincare and make-up products – as well as its perfumes – are designed, developed and manufactured in France.

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).

The company employs about 250 to 5000 people who are the strength of the economy of the French regions, where their headquarters and their various sites are mainly located.

Intermediate-sized Companies ("ETI"s)

Since the 2009 crisis, highly industrialised, medium-sized companies have created 340.000 jobs. France has around 5.600 medium-sized companies, which together produce 25% of its GDP and a third of its exports thanks to around 600 European and international leaders.


Thanks to a selective distribution network, the company has benefited from one of the strongest growths in the sector worldwide.
