Celine Un Ete Francais ~ new fragrance :: Now Smell This

French fashion and luxury house Celine has launched Un Été Français, a new fragrance.

Saint-Tropez, late afternoon.

The memory of carefree vacations in the South of France, lulled by the waves and summer heat. The freedom-loving youth of the “new wave” generation and its lightness of being.

A breath of sea air lingers around the gorse’s little golden flower, radiating the delicate scent of coconut, heightened by the sparkle of neroli and the bitter-sweetness of petitgrain. The freshness of waves that awakens a golden skin, languishing in the sun under a pure blue sky. While powdered vanilla gently emerges to prolong the soft summery accord of gorse in its trail.

“I recall these youthful images of Greco and Annabelle Buffet with their natural French elegance having fun in the alleys of the old village. ‘Un Été Français’ is a nostalgic tribute to the last six summers spent in Saint Tropez, but also to teenage memories of the beaches of the Côte d’Azur, with first loves, gold and sunburnt skin beneath a veil of ambered cream.” — Hedi Slimane, Artistic Director of CELINE

Additional notes include bergamot.

Celine Un Été Français is available in 100 and 200 ml Eau de Parfum.
