Céline pour Homme (2001)
by Céline

Uninteresting woody fragrance with an anise/spice note that ruins the whole deal. Chemical smelling and headache inducing. I don't like this one at all.

This is decent: ill say that and be through with it, not a knock you off your feet kinda frag but one that will get the job done.

'Celine PH' is a vastly underrated fragrance. Admittedly, I too didnt fully understand this fragrance when first trying it... I initially wrote it off as another uninteresting woody scent.
Several years on, and with something more of a 'refined olofactory palate', I rediscovered 'Celine' and was wowed by its vibrance and warmth. Prominent at first, is the juicy citrus topnote which is build around warm Mediterranean accords of spices and geranium. When allowed to fully develop on the skin, this fragrance blooms with radiant musk. The composition is not so 'heavy' so that it would limit its use to only formal evenings or cooler climes; quite the contrary - 'Celine PH' can be worn inoffensively in any climate, and at any time.
I care not if this scent continues to be 'snubbed' by the masses - it simply means there's more for me! Definitely one for the wardrobe.

Just like Clinique's 'Happy' it is a perfume that is absolutely unfitting to my preferred lines of smells, that tend to the heavy, oriental way or, like some fragrances by Diptyque or Serge Lutens more floral scents, express exactly, what they are meant to be - a certain, distinctive note. Celine is vague, in some ways 'boyish' to my nose and not too remarkable. A kind of cuvee for the quick consumption, I feel.

Start with a citric note, like orange peel, then downs to a woody spicy note. There's a strange note around all the time, maybe agave, that ruins all the mix.

paaarp! well know wonder you can but this so cheap off of so mnay websites its boring to the max
