Aura Celeste

Absolutely stunning frag. Gives me aventus vibes mixed with allure Homme edition blanched but BETTER than those 2. This is how a "creamy lemon meringue" should smell with some added fizzyness quality to it. Summertime gonna be seeing a lot of this

I love this! It is creamy, sweet, indulgent, refined and elegant. It smells of good quality.

Third sampling from Vivamor Parfums, Aura Celeste, a sensual sort of amber, vanilla, jasmine, and spices blend that has some brightness and freshness in the opening but feels more so like it’s aiming for an opulent, high-end woman’s formal fragrance. Still, that the resins are at the center of my experience of course very much makes the fragrance a unisex one and amber fans are likely to enjoy this somewhat as fairly safe and straightforward option that nevertheless has some good complexity and depth. I could see a lot of people liking it. For me it’s a like, not a love, as I can be pretty picky these days, but I think I understand what the creators were trying to do and I get it, mostly. I’d certainly encourage others to try this out. Like the rest of the line Aura Celeste is priced at $155 for 100ml in extrait concentration, sold both by the house directly as well as boutiques like Perfumology. It performs well, also, so I think the value is high from the perspectives of quality and performance. 7 out of 10

I bought the discovery set and this is my first to review. This is a masculine, spicy musk and neither of these wear well on me. So I'll focus on my experience. What I didn't appreciate was the silage and longevity. Both are way too strong. I actually tried to scrub this from my wrists, first with rubbing alcohol and then with soap and water. Twelve hours later it continues to linger. I feel like this house is adding cheap, unnecessary chemicals to create this effect and this is something I'll be on lookout for in the rest of the collection. The scent that lingers is not very pleasant, unfortunately. On me it is a 'dirty musk' with no vanilla or amber (which I was hoping for). I look forward to reading more reviews from the gents on this one.

This reminds me of sweet tarts or smarties. I like the citrus, pepper and musk notes, but this feels a bit masculine to me, so I won't be wearing it.
