Celestial

Celestial took me quite some time to fully comprehend, unable to decide if Electimuss have delivered something exceedingly complex or brazenly simple, eventually i realized that this quality of ambiguity and blurring of the extremes is itself the source of Celestial's beauty. One thing i can say for sure regarding Celestial (and Electimuss broadly, which imo is currently the most underrated niche house) is the provided notes will never prepare you for what you are about to smell. Celestial is dominated and entirely built around a dried, almost arid rose note that isn't jammy or even all that rosy, its an abstract heavenly vision of rose. Its supported at various times by soft fluffy leather, smooth creamy woods, a raspy musk note which while not at all dirty does smell salty and more on the savory side of things, a peek-a-boo raspberry note that i cant smell at all on skin but get great big whiffs of when the fragrance is whipped up in the air, a dusty green olibanum, not at all smoked incense but like the powdery residue in a basket of freshly collected olibanum, and finally a soft lightly green mossy note. This might all sound a bit dark and heavy, the end result is anything but, rather its true to its name, Celestial - of the heavens, its an otherworldly rendition of the notes and ends up smelling like none of them, or all of them, i still dont know, what i do know is Celestial is a luxurious perfectly executed fragrance.

I have the discovery set and tried this two days ago. I LOVED IT. To be fair, i absolutely love black pepper so the opening was heaven for me. I love rose also so it had a lot of things going for it. This to me doesnt last super long...or i go noseblind to it. But, i may get a full bottle just for the black pepper opening! it is wearable, versatile, unique. It is good for day or night, hot or cold. It is well blended and not synthetic or plastic. Big big love for me.

One of the most versatile frags in my collection, able to do both day and night, and all 4 seasons. What floored me is seeing that so many ppl say Celestial is similar to Nemer by BtV. They do not smell similar. Nemer has much woodier base with more prominent rose note. After Mercurial Cashmere and Vixere, this is probably Electimuss's 3rd best scent.

Lovely fresh opening with soft fruit and flowers and lots of musks. Nice amount of pink and black peppers balances the sweet and fruity rose. Olibanum here is super soft, it’s just giving a bit of depth to the whole composition. Like it! It’s sexy and beautiful snd has a great longevity and performance. Follow me on IG: scent.guide

First spray smells like BTV Blue Sapphire and shortly after, changes to Oud Al Fayed but with less skank. Still testing for longevity. Projection is soft
