Ceramic

I love a light perfume that is beast mode and lasts all day. This is my favorite type of scent but it is oddly hard to find. Light scents usually don't last (think Jo Malone), and beast mode scents are usually overpowering (think Bianco Latte and Guidance). I love to overspray and smell the scent on my arm all day long because I, like 90% of the world, work in an office and need to be mindful of my colleagues. Andrea Maack scents are amazing and just that - light beast mode scents you can wear anywhere and will last all day on skin - especially on clothes. In particular, I love Ceramic and Soft Tension. Yes they are soft, inoffensive, clean and musky but they are not like anything I have smelled before, are extremely comforting, and my office absolutely loves them. I smell clean, I feel invigorated and I feel like I smell pretty all day long. Money well spent in my opinion. Ceramic is floral, musky, a bit citrusy and lasts ALL DAY but in a light, close bubble that is perfect for work. I think this is master perfumery, and a nice solid skin scent that WAFTS (I love a perfume that wafts!) every once in a while is exactly what I am looking for. I have three Andrea Maack perfumes and can't wait to get another one.

I was sitting across the table from someone and her fragrance left me tongue tied. I asked her what it was. She sd it was Ceramic from Andrea Maack. This is light and pretty girl clean. This is Janet Jackson any time, any place, any where. This is herbal 🫖 tea calming, oatmeal & camomile. This is non offensive quiet luxury. This is kin to Byredo Blanche and Tocca Giulietta. It smells like it has some iris and violet in there but its Freesia, non indolic white flowers, Lily of the Valley, Musk, and a touch of Amber. This feels like warm pure love. I love giving and receiving compliments. I had this on the other day. A very young (around my son's age) & extremely handsome man with a thick New York accent that I adore says to me, "DATS YOU? YOU smellin' like that?" I shook my head up and down yes with a little smile. He sd, "That's goooood! Its some type of vanilla or something!" I didn't bother to correct him being that he was on the phone. This is so fb worthy.

I am so excited to be one of the first to review. I blind bought this fragrance, which I normally would not do. It smells almost exactly the way I had imagined, inspired by Icelandic white clay. I took a ceramics class in college, if we spent a little extra $$ at the bookstore we could purchase white clay. It smells how I remember it, but with a twist. If someone had never smelled white clay before I could see it smelling like clean laundry fresh out of the dryer. I was worried it would be too floral smelling but it isn’t. The bottle is also to die for, I had picture it resting on it’s side next to the rest of my fragrance collection. If this fragrance doesn’t sound like it’s for you, then I would look into other scents from this house. Each scent is a extremely different and niché I’m sure you will find something full bottle worthy.

perhaps my taste has been changing, because this is a scent profile I would normally call *not my taste*: clean/soapy/fresh laundry/white flowers... Lily of the valley is strong and gives me soapiness and I normally don't like that, but here I really enjoy it. Super well blended, rather present sillage, long lasting, gives me very put together lady in steam ironed white satin shirt at work. I immediately ordered a full bottle which will be my first from the brand, although I am still pondering Solstice, which is an amazing fresh juicy chilled but not sweet and not candied watermelon. I generally am starting to get the appeal of the brand - some scents may be challenging but they are all really, really well made.

Ceramic is such a cosy perfume. It is a very clean scent and yes, it smells like some sort of a detergent but... there's something way more complex in it than just that. The first time I sniffed it I immediately thought "wow, it does smell like ceramic... would smell, if it had any smell at all". Not freshly made ceramic but something that's been finished and displayed for everyone to admire. A lot of Andrea Maack's perfumes are works of art and Ceramic is definitely no exception. This is my go to "before bed" fragrance, I spray my sheets, pillow and night clothes with it and then sleep peacefully and soundly. Protective and cosy, I highly recommend trying it.
