Celadon

OMG!! I think I have just discovered my favourite tea/mate/verbena/basil/tomato leaf scent with Celadon. Holy moly, this is gorgeous and I am not a even a green/herbal/aromatic person...The basil note in this is unmatched, why is nobody talking about this scent???? This should be in all youtubers “Top 10 fresh/best scents for summer 2025”. Celadon is what I expected Maison Margiela’s From the Garden to smell like : a true to the way all these leafy greens smell like. Or put in differently, a very photorealistic green scent. And Celadon is doing that for me! This, in the high heat, is perfection! It opens straight with a smooth blend of tomato leaf, basil, verbena and tea, then it moves quickly towards a clear, floral heart: watery magnolia and hints of a very delicate, transparent rose until it settles on the skin in the deep dry down into a mix of herbals, musk, oakmoss and cedar. I personally (and luckily) didn’t notice anything smoky in Celadon to be honest. It would ruin the entire scent for me if it would be noticeable. While From the Garden leaned more masculine to my nose, Celadon is leans more feminine. Such a refreshing, uplifting, happy scent! If you love Guerlain’s Mandarin Basilic or Herba Fresca you would adore Celadon. Let’s see how well it performs because price wise it’s way above all three scents mentioned above. Edit 20.08. 2025 I have found Celadon on a 60% discount today, so I have finally added a bottle to my collection!

My ordered sample of Celadon arrived several hours ago and was applied immediately. My first impression of this welcome new fragrance by Miller Harris is as follows: Firstly, I noted that this is the lighter of the two new fragrances. Upon my initial application to the back of my right hand and wrist (my left hand & wrist were used to sample the new Soufflot), Celadon opens with dominant tea, cardamon, and tomato leaf notes. Surprisingly, it is not too heavy at this stage and not light and airy either. As the dry-down deepens, predominantly rose and lavender notes join in as the top notes become fainter. Further into the dry-down, more floral notes join the fray in the form of beautifully distinct tuberose and magnolia. Further along, a slight musky base starts to arise. Overall, this fragrance makes an appreciative, skilled use of florals, lavender, and rose. Even though I am (not an effeminate) male, I can still enjoy such notes in a quality fragrance like this (and Secret Gardenia, also by Miller Harris) and wear it when it suits me. In conclusion, Celadon is a stunning unisex fragrance that can be worn throughout the year. However, as with all fragrances, others' objective interpretations may differ.

And this is a beautiful way to do a summer fragrance without big citrus or marine! On first spray I got an overwhelming (in a good way) blast of green, the tomato leaf is so present but blended so well that the impression is of a pure photorealistic plant that hasn’t been cultivated yet. It’s light but luscious with the tea and magnolia preventing it from veering into herba fresca territory (though I love it I already have it). There is almost a garden mint type facet to this though I think it’s the tomato leaf and basil perhaps. It really is a light fresh green and beautifully blended, props to the perfumer responsible. If you like Herba Fresca or even ELDO You or Someone like You this might be an easy pick if you like that freshness of tomato leaf, blended superbly but not avoidable if you are not a fan. Damn, I was not planning on buying any more fragrance this summer!

This is such a good green/herbal scent. There are a lot of notes but they’re blended so beautifully. The tomato leaf is probably the standout scent for me, especially in the opening, but all the others work harmoniously to create a green, fresh, slightly vegetal scent. Definitely best for daytime and warm weather. My only gripe is the longevity isn’t great and I don’t feel that I get to all the base notes (I’d like to get a bit more smoke and cedar) but it’s not surprising given it’s a freshie. Another winner from Miller Harris, a house that’s really growing on me.

Have been enjoying trying this over the past few days. The opening is divine, it's in the realm of my three favourite discontinued YSLs, Baby Doll, Vice Versa and In love again. Not identical but within the vicinity. The longevity is excellent for a fresh summer fragrance and it remains fresh and interesting in the dry down. Beautifully blended. The tomato leaf is notable but I don't find any one ingredient over powering the others. I will be purchasing a fb in time for southern hemisphere summer.
