By the editors · 2 min readVanille Céleste opens with vanilla front and forward — sweet, creamy, almost custardy, brightened immediately by mandarin and a discreet pink-pepper tingle that keeps the sugar from cloying. The first impression sets the brief: this is a vanilla, and the vanilla is the point.
The heart layers white flowers into the cream. Jasmine and orange blossom soften the sweetness with a more grown-up floralcy, and a quiet pear note slips through the middle, juicy and slightly tart, rounding out the gourmand register without tipping it into dessert.
The base is where the composition stretches. Sandalwood gives the vanilla a milky weight; tonka doubles the sweetness with a warm, hay-like depth; cedar and patchouli draw a faint dry line underneath; soft musk smooths the whole drydown into a close, comforting skin scent. It wears warmly through cooler weather, a sweet floral-vanilla that stays elegant rather than juvenile.
