Today it was time for an antidote to the rich and heavy scents in the air – I need something fresh and clean so it’s time for Celine’s Cologne Celeste. This is a riff on the classic cologne style of perfumes with a blend of green neroli and petitgrain, and a dry down of warm but soapy musk blended with a dose of powder and a bit of vanilla, the Celine signature. The slight sweetness at the end makes this an addictive perfume to smell. The musk is ambrette which always makes me think of warm skin out of the shower, cozy and clean at the same time. The musk is very long-lasting and that’s where this cologne is an update from the splash bottles of centuries past. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In a time when we’re jumping from one perfume to another, this cologne was overlooked, but it solidified Celine perfumes in a way. All serious (Serious!) perfume lines need an eau de cologne, and here is Celine’s.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
