The Story

Golden. Honied. Radiant. Celeste is a sunbeam, a radiant solar flair of ambrette, meadow clover, and orange blossom honey. A bit of musk, gently sweet, abstract and dense. Celeste is a beam of light, the glimmering gold of the sun on the sea.

Short Story Long

Some fragrances announce themselves with notes that read like an ala carte menu. If I crave a coffee or rose fragrance, there are myriad that I can reach for where that desired note will be so prominent that it is unmistakable.

But not every fragrance is so easily understood. Some fragrances offer notes so interdependent on one another that they almost defy separation into their individual parts.

Celeste is a tapestry of notes so gently woven that you really have to peer to find the individual threads. Radiant but calm, it is a chameleon that shapes itself to the wearer, and anyone around them. It is a floral musk, but also a solar vanilla. There are green aromatics, abundant berry notes, but close your eyes and stop peering at it, and the illusion is that of something singular that is all of those things and none of those things.

Consider Wearing This...

Awake or asleep, or anything in between. Gentle and abstract, Celeste is a happy, calm fragrance that can go anywhere you want to.
