Celine perfume two ways: one for winter and one for summer, one for night time, one for the day. One to bring in the good times and the other to wash them all away.Cologne Celeste takes cues from the green neroli-centred scents of the past but updates them with clean musk, adding a certain amount of longevity which may have been lacking in the former. It’s fresh, it’s cleaner, it’s still got some powder, but not as much as some of the others in the line. It’s what I’ll wear when the weather warms up. It’s a good counterpart to Nightclubbing which smells more like clubs from back in the day, cigarette ashes, powder in the bathroom, a good dose of vanilla as everyone reapplies their perfume. It’s warmth is best in the winter.
Do you have a favourite from the line? I know Black Tie gets a lot of love because it’s a good vanilla but it didn’t wow me when I tried it last year. Maybe I need to revisit it.
