The story behind the bottle.
Celine Sensual Summer is a composition that balances the freshness of green florals with the warmth of woody notes, creating a scent that feels both light and enveloping. Created by Christophe Raynaud, it opens with violet leaf and pear, giving way to freesia and peony, before settling into an amber base with sandalwood and musk. The interplay between these elements makes it feel like two fragrances in one — a fresh, airy top note that transitions seamlessly into a more sensual heart.
This fragrance is best applied in light layers — the green top notes are bright but fleeting. Once they fade, the woody base takes over, so it’s perfect for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves with your mood.

Christophe Raynaud
Architect first, craftsman secondChristophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.
“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
