The other day, while out for a stroll, I stumbled upon a bottle of Celine, a fragrance that went unnoticed back in the early 2000s. The house, which is more Chloé than anything and a fashion giant, hasn’t taken a single step forward in perfumery. Since I’m into launches from 1998 to 2004 and the bottle only cost me four euros, I bought it blind. By the way, Michael Kors was the creative director at launch. Verdict: Celine for Men is irrelevant, honestly trash. Neither Annick Menardo’s name, the intriguing notes, nor the hedonistic woody trend is in its DNA. It has the consistency of a cheap drugstore cologne and doesn’t last even an hour and a half with a pathetic sillage. This morning, on the third day, I sprayed twelve hits on my neck, and by 10:30 while eating lunch, I couldn’t even smell it on myself. The funny part: it’s a delicious eau de cologne. Beyond the fact that it doesn’t last, I love it: silky and comforting, with a base of wood liniment and soft spices, plus almost edible aromatic touches, like floating around in freshly ironed pajamas. It reminds me of the men’s scents from the late nineties—generic but delicious, back when Zara only sold one cologne. This Celine is exactly that, reminiscent of those formulas when minimalism was dying. There’s a barely perceptible nutmeg, soft cedar, and maybe a hint of chestnut peel. It’s unnecessary and a rip-off, but it’s addictive. I tried Armani Privé Bois d’Encens, and that was also a one-liter cologne with terrible longevity. This is the same thing, but it only cost me twenty euros at a haberdashery. If you see it cheap and like woody scents with skin and crisp sheets vibes, you’ll love it.
