The word “sillage” has a French origin which literally means wake or trail. According to the Oxford dictionary, sillage (n) is “the degree to which a perfume’s fragrance lingers in the air when worn”.

Sillage: Pronounced “see-yazh,” this refers to the trail of scent left behind from a perfume.

You know when someone steps off an elevator and you catch a whiff of their trailblazer, make sure to say “ Hello sillage !”
