After creating a great legacy in fashion, Celine finally debuts its journey in the world of high perfumery with a collection of 11 perfumes. Truthful to the tradition of the “Couturier Parfumeur”, Hedi Slimane put his heart and soul in these olfactory marvels, as well as his expertise in French high perfumery – reminding us of the private collection he concocted for Maison Christian Dior in 2004.

This collection of 11 exquisite fragrances will reveal 9 of its beauties in the Fall of 2019, leaving 2 for 2020. Each perfume draws its name from the couturier’s olfactory journal: while Parade, Saint-Germain-Des-Prés, Dans Paris, Cologne Française, La Peau Nue, Eau de Californie and Bois Dormant and Rimbaud that will be released in 2020 are ideal for day wear, Black Tie, Reptile and Nightclubbing are perfect for the evening.

For a designer who always questions the societal notion of gender through his collections and photographs, these high-end perfumes join the pack to give a new androgynous definition of masculinity and recapture Slimane’s stylistic codes. With no distinction made between traditional masculine and feminine notes, the elements harmoniously blend together to form a scent that redefines modernity and identities. However, one touch makes these perfumes true creations of Hedi Slimane and it’s definitely the designer’s signature powdery note which adds a one-of-a-kind sophisticated flair to every one of them.

In keeping with the great tradition of French glassmaking, Hedi Slimane designed a rectangular bottle decorated on two sides with sharp-edged fluting and topped with a faceted black lacquered cap – reminiscent of the minimalism that accompanied the modernity of Art Deco back in time.
