Review of Celeste Eau de Parfum by Sarah Chabal

Oh my this is just so gorgeous! It feels like this ultra-feminine, shimmery, soft purple/lilac, fairy-like scent! A beautifully honeyed vanilla and violet with a fresh and crisp twist! The opening is fresh, bright, and crisp with a burst of citrusy lime and marine sea water. As it starts drying down the delicately powdery violet comes through with a touch of fruity raspberry. The dry down definitely leans towards Bianco Latte, except this comes across more fresh and crisp. It comes across like this delightful mixture of fresh, powdery, violet, sweet tarts (or Pixie Stix!) with swirls of vanilla and honey, that reads slightly caramel like too! In one word ✨FAIRY-DUST💜✨🧚🏻♀️ I started out with just a sample vial of this and Bianco Latte, and I really enjoy both of them! Bianco Latte comes across more rich and deep, and while this is quite similar in the dry down, is more fresh, marine, and with a bright citrusy twist. I decided on a full bottle of Celeste though, as I prefer its more unique twist, and that it works well as a year round scent. This also feels suitable for any occasion from casual to fancy, and it’s a fairly easy reach. Celeste is definitely one of my top favorite fragrances! I also have SDJ 59, and can see why it’s listed in the “reminds me of” section. It is somewhat similar with the violet and vanilla, but Celeste is more complex and has that lovely honeyed quality as well as a freshness. 59 is more simple, soothing, and woody with only notes of sugared violet, vanilla, and sandalwood I get excellent performance with Celeste. The longevity is impressive, it lasts throughout the entire day on me, and I can still smell it the next morning. The projection is great, it radiates out several feet from me. I also think this is a good value as I only need a couple sprays to get this effect.
