What does Objet Céleste smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it is noticeable up close without filling a room. Spring and fall lead the season votes, with winter close behind. Leisure, evening, daily wear and office all draw similar support, and most voters call it feminine and classic.

It opens with grapefruit, Italian bergamot and clary sage for a fresh start. Peony and jasmine give the heart a soft floral feel. In the base, vanilla, almond, powder, clove and patchouli take over, and the scent turns sweeter, settling into a powdery, resinous warmth. Serge Lutens Louve and Ted Lapidus Oud Blanc have a close profile.
