Cérémonie

This is my first niche fragrance I ever bought. My partner and I were checking out perfumes in a niche store and we stumbled upon Cérémonie and just couldn't say no to it. It is bold and mystical. I waited half a year to write this review, because the perfume keeps maturing in terms of performance and smell as well. After the first spray, you get a blast of juicy leather and the shell of a pinapple with smoke. The smell is so intoxicating that it feels like you're catapulted to a front row of your favourite rock band's concert. Later the scent remains like the interior of a luxury car with leather seats. You just radiate for 30-60 minutes, then the scent bubble comes closer and closer to the skin, which first bothered me, cause I wanted better performance, but now I accepted that this is not a perfume for the whole day, this is a perfume for an occasion and for that reason I learned to respect the perfume and now I just love it. Projects for 2 hours altogether, stays on skin for 6 hours. To wear this perfume confidence is required, because people will notice you. Every time I wear it, my gf literally can't not smell my neck, this is a staple date night fragrance for me. Expensive for sure, you will get better performing perfumes easily but I've never smelled anything like this and I love it's uniqueness.

Anomalia Ceremonie is like stepping into a secret, twilight gathering where shadows dance and the air is thick with enchantment. It’s this magical blend of deep woods and leather, almost as if you’re wrapped in the embrace of an ancient, smoky library, but there’s this unexpected softness, a whisper of vanilla that seems to catch you off guard, smoothing over the edges of the night. I haven’t worn it for days on end yet, but from what I can tell, this fragrance clings to you, whispering its secrets for hours, making its presence known without overwhelming the room. It’s kind of like that intriguing, mysterious person at the party who doesn’t need to say much but somehow leaves a lasting impression.

A dark play of fruity elements, like grapefruit and pineapple, more of a savory and roasted kind of fruit layered in a bed of black sheets with smoke lingering. A dark cedar and tonka combo with soft patchouli surrounded by a savory like smoke plays the major role in this fragrance, the foundation of the blend, decorated with the house signature smoothest leather I have ever tried in a brand and a brilliant fruity flavour, taking the edge of the perfume and making it fun yet charming, not playing too serious but far from casual. One of the closest perfumes I have to be a signature fragrance for me and one of my favorites from the house

A brilliant, avant-garde take on a smoky leather fragrance. Cérémonie kicks off with a genuinely surprising and addictive contrast—a blast of juicy, tart pineapple and grapefruit layered over a thick backdrop of dark incense smoke. As the fruits settle, it transforms into an incredibly sleek, slightly herbal clary sage and smooth leather, rounded out beautifully by a creamy hint of tonka bean in the deep drydown. It perfectly nails that rebellious, effortlessly cool "rock star" vibe without feeling messy. Excellent performance and highly original.

This is a dark and seductive, predominantly woody/leather fragrance with some smokiness and a touch of vanilla like sweetness that removes some rough edges. I can’t say I particularly get any of the grapefruit or pineapple. Perhaps they add a hint of brightness but they don’t show up as individual notes. It’s not particularly groundbreaking but it’s well done for this type of fragrance. I find it similar in style to Bvlgari’s Oram in some ways. I haven’t fully tested it but longevity seems good with moderate projection.
