Celine Dion Parfum Notes

I really love this celebrity perfume, it doesn't smell like a celebrity perfume at all. Sure, it's a fruity floral, but totally different from other celebrity style fruity florals, and even very different from most designer fruity florals as well. What distinguishes Celine Dion Parfum Notes by Celine Dion is the touch of bitterness. I love fragrances that have a bitter floral aspect - it provides a stateliness that somehow doesn't take away from the beauty or the friendliness of the perfume. This one is still warm and enveloping, but it is more dignified because of that bitter backbone. Think of how the bitterness of Poeme gives the perfume something to stand straight with (this doesn't smell like Poeme, even though they both share mimosa - there is no vanilla here.) I digress. What do I smell in Celine Dion Parfum Notes? I smell a watercolor spring floral, waterlily and peony the most, gardenia adding its billowy quality. Mimosa and heliotrope here are bitter, with nectarine - they provide the bitter nectarine skin. Nectarine is really prominent, but not exactly juicy or sticky sweet - it is dry yet sweet, providing warmth and sunshine. So unique, I haven't smelled a nectarine/peach fragrance that is not syrupy. Waterlily makes the fragrance "watery" but not too aquatic, like being by the bank of a stream with mimosa blossoms blooming in the air, but not actually in the water. I bought a 15 mL bottle off of eBay probably now about 6 or 7 years ago, and mine has still not turned or anything (surprising given the waterlily note.) I remember reading about it in Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez's book, and being excited to own a cheap fragrance that they had rated highly. Shame it has been discontinued, a really nice affordable signature scent.

I bought a bottle of this in 2004 when it was first released 20 years ago, along with another of hers simply titled Celine Dion. There in a Canadian pharmacy countertop ready to test. After wearing them, I preferred Notes more and bought another bottle immediately. Thrilled now that I did, got it for 15$. I am now halfway through it and it still smells exactly the same, having been kept in its box in a drawer between uses. To me it smells French, because of the slight bitter/ tart background that makes it chic and elegant rather than a linear fruity floral. It’s classy and timeless. The dry down is smoother and sweeter than the bright open, I love a perfume that goes from energetic to companionable.

I ve got CDN for christmas from my sister (who told me that she doesnt like sweet scents). so i was suprised as i constantly sniffed something sweet in it. and this kind of note i can feel till now. in the period I weared it, i liked it a lot. it was "happy" and easy and not causing headache, seemed to me sexy enough to attract attention of others.

This is my moms signature but I just start falling in love with the scent. It's so light and airy and makes me feel ultra feminine. Only wsh it would last longer but I guess I'll have to layer

The epitome of class and elegance. Such a shame it has been discontinued.
