Last year (2023) the ritual art of Parisian bathing was captured by Celine’s creative director Hedi Slimane in a new collection of haute perfumerie. A debut fragrance Cologne Céleste (described as ‘simultaneously universal and comforting’, with notes of orange blossom, angelica, sweet lemon essence, petitgrain, neroli, ambrette, and orris butter) was also crafted into L’Huile Céleste, an oil for body and hair and Le Lait Céleste Pour Le Bain, a softening bath milk.
Bathe like a Parisian with Celine bath and body
Slimane described memories from his Parisian childhood as the inspiration behind this new olfactory chapter. ‘Bathing is an essential gesture that systematically plunges me back into the gentle and soothing atmosphere of childhood,’ he said in a statement. ‘First, it is about pouring it into the bath and surrendering yourself to the smooth, delicate, and sugary notes of orange blossom. Then, after the bath, used as a body rub, the Eau de Cologne Céleste will protect you all day long and veil your clothes in a soft and elegant scent.’
Now, Celine has just announced the expansion of its bathing ritual, with the release of liquid soap, body milk, hand cream and hair mist, each imbued with classic scents from Celine’s fragrance line. ‘Each formula has been developed and custom made by Hedi Slimane from carefully chosen raw materials to perfectly combine high performance and natural ingredients, whilst faithfully reproducing the collection's olfactory signature,’ says the brand.The liquid soap, body milk and hand cream are available in the Parade, La Peau Nue, Reptile and Cologne Celeste fragrances, whilst the hair mist is fragranced with Parade, Reptile and Black Tie.
As we’ve all come to expect from Celine’s grooming and lifestyle collections, every piece of packaging is a streamlined work of art, with bevelled angles on glass bottles and glossy black caps laser engraved with the Maison’s Triomphe motif.
The Celine bath and body collection is available now.
