THIS COFFRET GATHERS TOGETHER THE 12 PERFUMES OF THE CELINE HAUTE PARFUMERIE COLLECTION WHOSE CREATION – RELATED BY HEDI SLIMANE IN HIS OLFACTORY JOURNAL – IS BASED ON THE COUTURIER’S OWN FOND RECOLLECTIONS AND NARRATIVES. THE INTIMATE AND SENTIMENTAL CHARACTER AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT IS IMBUED WITH A PERSONAL AND UNIVERSAL DIMENSION, WHERE THE REASSURANCE, MEMORY AND EMOTION OF A PERFUME RESONATE WITHIN EVERYONE.

ALL OF THE 12 FRAGRANCES – PARADE, SAINT-GERMAIN-DES-PRÉS, COLOGNE FRANÇAISE, DANS PARIS, LA PEAU NUE, ZOUZOU, RIMBAUD, BOIS DORMANT, EAU DE CALIFORNIE, REPTILE, BLACK TIE AND NIGHTCLUBBING – ARE LIKE SINGULAR CHARACTERS FROM A CELINE RUNWAY AND CREATE A TIMELESS ALLURE AND DISSONANT SOPHISTICATION EPITOMIZING THE VERY ESSENCE OF PARIS.

THEY ARE LINKED BY A SINGULAR OLFACTORY IMPRINT, A POWDERY FILTER LIKE A DIAPHANOUS VEIL PLACED OVER THE SKIN, ENVELOPING EACH CREATION IN A MUTED PATINA PROLONGED BY THE FRENCH ELEGANCE OF A FRAGRANT COUTURE TRAIL.

AS PRECIOUS AS A COLLECTOR’S PIECE, ADORNED IN PAPER WITH A “GRAIN DE POUDRE” FEEL AND KNOTTED WITH A BLACK GROSGRAIN BOW, THE 10ML MINIATURES CONTAINED IN THE COFFRET ARE IDENTICAL REPRODUCTIONS OF THE 100ML AND 200ML BOTTLES INSPIRED BY LATE 17TH CENTURY CLASSICISM AND ART DECO.

THEIR LABELS EMBOSSED WITH “17TH CENTURY” MOLDINGS, THEIR FACETED CAPS AND TRANSPARENT GLASS BOTTLES WITH SHARP-EDGED FLUTING, ALL SERVE TO HIGHLIGHT THE AMBER AND GOLD REFLECTIONS OF EACH PERFUME.
