Celine Dion

The opening of Celine Dion to me smells so close to Hilary Duff With Love - must be the woods. With Love had cocobolo (fantasy note inspired by the bright reddish-brown decorative Dalbergia retusa wood) and here, we have white/blond woods. Celine Dion has a woody, smoky opening that moves into a soft rose and creamy sweet tiare flower. Ladylike, stays close to the skin after the first 5-10 minute burst. In no way does this bring "fruity floral" to mind. On me it is a woody floral musk. I don't detect any berries, as shown in the notes pyramid but there is a freshness which might be from lily and some kind of citrus. It is summer here, so that may affect how it plays on the skin. I would be interested to see if in colder weather more/other fruit comes forward. It's nice, but I'm not sure if I'd repurchase it once I go through my partial .5 oz. If you find you like the opening of Celine Dion, hunt down a .5 oz of With Love on ebay. With Love was a more unique woody scent with spices rather than florals. UPDATE: I've found myself respraying throughout the day because although Celine Dion fades sooner than I would like, as it fades I'm getting additional floral and sweet notes with a soapy musk. I'm not generally a woods fan but I'm really enjoying this overall scent profile more and more. It's ultimately more rewarding than With Love due to the sweetness and light in the dry down. Celine Dion is more complex than I first thought.

Several years ago, (probably 2005?) my husband brought me home a sample vial of this perfume. He smelled it in the store, thought it was nice, and hoped I would like it. I thought it smelled so "grown up", without smelling too mature for my age. At the time, I think I only owned body sprays, because I used up my small bottles of perfume. I wanted a bottle so badly, but it was quite expensive at the time, since it was so new. I used my sample only on very special occasions, and in fact I still have a small bit left to this day. I happened upon this perfume in Ross the other day, $9.99 for a 1.7 oz bottle. I had forgotten all about how much I liked this perfume, until I saw it there on the shelf. I bought it that day, and when I got home, I smelled it, and it evoked so many great memories. It's not a fancy, or special perfume by any means, but it is special to me. I love how easy it is to wear, and how "shower fresh" it smells. This is a very safe perfume, that shouldn't offend anyone's nose, and could be worn by anyone age 16+. Now that I know it is so cheap, I will always have a bottle on hand. :)

I really like this fragrance. It's very simple and chic, not teenage, not girly but rather timeless in it's classy nature. It is a celebrity scent that has a soft, elegant, and a bit mature character and I can't imagine this to become old-style or irritating. I like to wear it in the hottest summer and in winter, too, thus, I assume it as a great signature scent for everyday. I don't smell anything chemical or cheap and the lasting power is just fine for the price and for the fume being an edt. Five stars out of five.

Light, soft, feminine, delicate, and warm are the words to describe Celine Dion. It's one of a few celebrity fragrances that doesn't screem a big name, however it does make people around enjoy your presence for a reason they cannot explain. I discovered Celine Dion while being in love with Elizabeth Arden's 5th Avenue. Celine Dion was lighter and a bit woodier than 5th Avenue, yet close enough to replace it. I must admit, Celine Dion wasn't the love of my life but it certainly one that I would never forget.

I had it and at the beginning I didn't appreciate it due to its soft sillage but since then I realized that this fragrance is very close to skin and makes an atmosphere around you. It is not for seducing. It makes you confident, safe, considerate and a pleasant individual. A competent, still very classical woman in a content state of mind. Woody peach for me but it is not fruity at all.
