The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2026, Strange Heavens Out Of The Blue by Clive Christian is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance crafted by perfumers Céline Herbette and Kamila Lelakova. This composition opens with a bright burst of orange blossom and jasmine, which quickly gives way to the warm embrace of caramel and vanilla. Notes of coffee and cocoa ground the scent in rich earthiness, while pink pepper and anise add unexpected spiciness that cuts through the sweetness. The inclusion of smoke lends a subtle depth, creating a complex and intriguing olfactory experience.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its rich base notes to develop over time. The spiciness of pink pepper can be intense, so a single spritz is often enough for the first few hours. As it settles, the warmth of vanilla and cocoa will envelop you throughout the day.
