Parade eau de parfum by celine

One of the most beautiful and finest perfumes that I enjoyed for the year 2023, a perfume with noble ingredients from, Nyroli, bergamot, vetiver, and oak moss

Very beautiful, a fresh brush perfume, at the same time deep and warm, and I feel that there is a tea in the background that looks exactly like bergamot tea, a perfume that I see in summer and a very sweet, elegant and shrub, the brand is classy and all their perfumes for the honesty are beautiful and worth trying 💘😍

I liked it very much and the performance of the perfume is great in terms of stability, I have the second day on clothes and the medium beauty of the smell forgets you performance, very beautiful and worth trying ✨

Elegant, classy and well balanced. I tried this today in Selfridges in Manchester and loved it. Bought the 50ml bottle. The dry down is lovely and the sillage kept following me around the store. Great circus, woody and herbal and not sweet, thank the Lord and smells expensive…….

A perfect neroli-centric fragrance. I'm always torn about this sort of thing because on one hand, the price is ridiculous for such a simple orange blossom scent. On the other hand, I have a really hard time finding subtle, perfectly-judged, high-quality-smelling versions of this kind of thing and I really strive to find and buy the perfect summer tonic that has me spraying and respraying the exact smell of blooming citrus in July in Italy or Southern California or Mallorca or anywhere warm and beautiful...ahhh, I need a vacation.

Okay so this perfume represents the golden ratio of EDC, the absolute perfect proportions of fruity, floral, woody, mossy and musky, in so much as you could say they cancel each other out, creating an effect that is to most people, lacking originality and spark. Well, here's why they're wrong. Hahah...so I just made someone up, so I can argue with them about a perfume, as good as it is...I can't defend too vehemently because it's just a citrus, white floral trope and not much else at the end of the day. For arguments sake though... you can say that about MANY fragrances, it's the execution which is important here.
I don't really like overly waxy white florals....this isn't. I love that sense of reality and naturalism you get with good bergamot oil, this has that effect. There's a moment of moss, a wee clump as it settles, never reaching the point of an eau sauvage or anything but just reassuringly, classic. I can smell the signature rounded, iris/orris/vanillic/woody base, juuust peaking through and then even later, vetiver!!!! Yes even that rears it's head later on. It has a musky, carrying base materials which are ambrox/type but doesn't overstep it's bounds into modern, cheap, shite. I love what this perfume does, a balancing act. That's what good perfumery is and the clarity of this one is apparent, Parade has real intent and it delivers.
If you were to buy any of these perfumes retail, I couldn't critisise you for it, you'd be geting a great perfume, if you know where to get better for cheaper then that's fine too, but I'm okay. I'm okay with Celine. They've done nothing to annoy me so far and everything to be happy with, they are a class act.

Mild vetiver base. Mild but pleasant citrus notes. Mild musky essence. Nice blend but too subtle.

I find a lot of Celine fragrances are quite similar.
