I really love Giardini Di Toscana’s Celeste. I got to try it through a sample from Niche Scents and I was hooked. It is a beautiful, sweet scent that feels both airy and sugary at the same time. On my skin, I also pick up notes of salt, watermelon, violet and a hint of raspberry, which gives the sweetness a fresh and unique edge that I wasn't expecting but absolutely love.
The performance is excellent, it has good longevity and stays on my skin for 6 plus hours. It has a really lovely presence that people notice, but it stays soft enough that it doesn't feel heavy.
This may not be a fragrance for everyone though. The violet note in the composition is quite prominent, giving it a powdery and lipstick-like quality that could be a bit divisive depending on your taste. If you enjoy sweet and powdery scents with a twist, you will likely enjoy it, but it is definitely worth testing a sample first to see how that violet/saltiness sits with you.
The service from Niche Scents is wonderful. The handwritten note and unexpected samples are such a nice surprise. Because of those samples, I have scoped out my next purchase! Overall, great service experience and Celeate is a high-quality fragrance and I am really happy to have found it.
This is so fresh and clean. Long lasting. Exactly the kind of scent I love.
Just as it smells in theYSL boutique stores and delivered in time.
I really wanted to enjoy this one, but unfortunately it wasn’t for me. The smell came across as too artificial and it made me feel a bit sick. Definitely not one I would wear again.
