The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Fever by Celine, launched in 2005 and crafted by perfumer Beatrice Piquet, is an oriental vanilla fragrance that captures the essence of a passionate moment. The composition opens with blood orange and mandarin orange, bringing a vibrant, citrusy freshness to the foreground. This bright beginning gives way to a heart of frangipani and Indian jasmine, adding a floral sweetness that is both delicate and alluring. The base notes of vanilla, sandalwood, and amber provide warmth and depth, creating a scent that is both intimate and enduring.

How to wear it

Apply one generous spray to the pulse points — the citrus top notes fade within two hours but the warm base notes continue to develop on skin. This fragrance is best suited for evenings or cooler weather when its intimate depth can be fully appreciated.

Béatrice Piquet

A career built on apprenticeship and humility

Béatrice Piquet (1963–2010) was a French perfumer who joined International Flavors and Fragrances (IFF) at seventeen, rising from laboratory assistant to senior perfumer over a six-year apprenticeship under JP Mary and Alain Astori.

“I hope I never find it because it would suggest that everything is at an end.”
