The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Nazir Ajmal crafted Vanille Celeste as an Oriental Vanilla fragrance that balances sweetness with subtle freshness. Opening with a rich vanilla note, the composition then transitions into a heart of jasmine, orchid, and orange blossom, creating a warm and inviting floral bouquet. The base notes of pear and cedar bring a touch of fruitiness and woody depth, grounding the scent in its opulent yet delicate character.

How to wear it

Apply Vanille Celeste lightly to pulse points — the top notes are bright but the heart and base notes develop slowly. A single spritz will allow the fragrance to bloom naturally over time, making it perfect for a soft, all-day presence.
