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.

Too this day this is the fragrance that meshed the best with my body chemistry. Did not smell at all on me, as what it smelled like in the bottle. Very fresh and light and floral with just a teensy hint of sweetness. Would not necessarily recommend for everyone though.

The first time I smelled this fragrance is was either 9 or 10 and it was a body wash my mom gave me. I've loved it ever since. I just bought a 100ml bottle of this a few days ago and I love it so much!

don't know y u say her perfumes r cheap in taste ? 4 me celine dion perfumes r great and i use them daily especially chic <3 it's an amaazin' one u should give it a try = )

This is my favorite perfume, it lasts long, and the smell is refreshing all day long, there is nothing bad to say here!

i love this perfume , it is refreshing , the only prob. is it's staying power:(

The is the best of her collection! It's feminine for a mature pretty lady!

anyone know something similar ? i can't find this one in stores :(

Quick proper review: I need to re-review because I have not worn Celine Dion in ages and I have just received my new bottle from ebay and wore the perfume yesterday. I used a proper amount of perfume, about 15 sprays, to cover my neck, cleavage, wrists and shoulders. The opening was quite sharp and fresh with a tiny hint of a tropical fruit note (it says peach but I am not smelling any peach). When it dried down, the perfume almost smelled like champagne without the sparkle but with a powdery note. I would describe those notes as clean, quite sophisticated and modern. I did not note musk, amber or sandalwood in the base, but the champagne note stayed for about 3 hours. I noticed that the fragrance was completely gone from my wrists within an hour but I could smell the scent making its way to my nose from my cleavage all day long so I guess it must have to do with temperature. The scent is surely only hardly noticeable by someone who is not really near you because it stays very close to the skin but the staying power on my cleavage and neck is awesome! My husband could smell the scent on me in the late evening hours, about 13 hours after applying it. EDIT 19 OCT 2010: I know what that odd dusty smell that some people seem to detect is. I noticed that strange hint as well but only now I can describe it: CUSTARD. It is custard.

I just received this in the mail earlier today. I've never tried it before and just saw the decent reviews and cheap ($9) price on Amazon, so I thought I'd give it a go. I think this smells mature, (though not to be confused with "old lady" perfume) and classy. In a million years though, I would never confuse this with a high-end scent. It just doesn't have that complexity, but going in, I honestly didn't expect it to. Having said all that though, it's still a very solid scent I think. The wood notes are there and do not drown out everything else. I don't pick up a ton of rose thankfully, but there are other soft, powdery, white florals to be appreciated! The longevity on this doesn't seem terribly long. I sprayed it this morning and probably about 4 hours or so later, I could barely detect it. This is also not a scent that will precede you by a mile before you walk into a room. I think it sits close enough to the skin so that it's not obnoxious and yet is strong enough to tell you're wearing it. I think this would be an excellent choice for use in an office or as a gift for someone's mom. I honestly can't see a teen making this their first choice in perfumes, but hey... you never know! Overall, I'm very happy with my choice. I think it's a decent scent that smells very pleasant!

I bought it for my sister birthday, unlike me, she likes ultra feminine, very delicate and quiet perfumes, she is an artist herself and even in her paintings, she is always very delicate, soft and feminine. Celin Dion is a soft perfume,very feminine, a little powdery and not loud at all, but it is longlasting, I can still smell it on my skin after a shower. It smells young but classy. It is cheap but does not smell cheap. It is an ideal choice for office or daily wear when you want to smell good but not to attract any attention.I personally enjoy it though it is not my cup of tea :)

This was the first perfume that I got as a gift as a teenager that was mature -- mother trying to get me out of all the sugary sweet body sprays. Its a nice soft smell that I still gravitate towards every now and then. However, it does not last very long and find I have to touchup after a couple of hours. With the heat where I live at I only wear when I will be indoors, as the sweat just washes it away. It tends to be what I wear to Church when I go as its not too strong for the little old ladies around me, haha! Because of this I don't use it as much, but still like it.

I blind buy bought this at a discount store at an insanely cheap price( under $4) . And Im so glad I did.. Its it a very woody classy perfume. I get a hint of florals, and cranberries. I will whole heartedly agree with every review that says it smells like Dr.Pepper soda ( or Coca cola)! but its kinda spicy which I like and is sexy. I do get a smokey rose scent too.. I have gotten compliments . I prefer this more fall/winter time..

I like this-sometimes you just want a nice,soft floral to wear while hanging around in your jeans and a tee:this is that scent.Uncomplicated but quite lovely. I can't really pick out the individual notes and the sillage is quite low on me but that's ok as I can get migraines pretty easily. Actually the more I wear it I find peach to be the dominant note-in fact it reminds me of a watered down Tommy Hilfiger Dreaming.

I think it is a vary nice surprise , i have already reviewed 2 others of her scents (Sensational and Simply Chic) which were exremly dull and generic to me , but this one is much better . It is yet quite discreet , but also sophisticated at the same time and feminine . It doesn't last long enough though , maybe if sprayed generously it will ... The heart notes make me think of "Bohême" from "Eau Jeune" a bit.

Very woody with only a subtle hint of floral. This is very mild and a light scent, wears very close to skin, so you have to be up close to smell this. Not bad, not great. This seems too subtle of a scent to be associated with the grandiose persona of Ms. Dion. This seems to be a love it or hate it scent according to these reviews. It must be another one where skin chemistry plays a big role.
