Ciel Europe vs. Ciel Oman
After reading several great comments on this enchanting fragrance, I realized that I hadn't read anything about a direct comparison yet, sorry if I overlooked anything...
Four years ago, I happened to smell my absolute favorite perfume on my cousin. Of course I asked myself directly which noble drop it should be, Ciel from Amouage was the answer. Since I only knew slides and gold (the two are by far not my scents) until then, I swallowed first. But my goal had already been set: a blind purchase! Waiting a long time until the price finally moved in the direction that a normal employee did not faint directly, I hit a trustworthy online provider. And now there was my package. The whole packaging and the bottle are a masterpiece!
I got a bottle with the magnetic metal lid.

I sprayed briefly on my wrist... and finally smelled paradise! I was happy in that moment!

I can't tell you much about the individual notes, because I don't feel competent enough at the moment. What I heard in any case with enthusiasm was the fresh smell of fine white flowers. I sniffed my wrist again and again, the scent was already showing a certain course. A little later I suddenly smelled a light cream, that was great. With the Sillage modest for an Amouage, it smelled clear for me at least 5 to 6 hours, perhaps a little longer, but all the time very pleasant, which struck me during the test that the component (musk and/or frankincense) which I particularly liked about my cousin was certainly weaker on my wrist. I then connected this difference with my skin, which was unfavourable for this perfume, and was happy that I still liked this fragrance very much about myself. After two years, my cousin added another bottle of her favourite fragrance and told me that her new one was noticeably weaker than the old one, which reminded her that she had bought her first bottle in Oman. She sent me her old bottle with a small amount left for comparison. When I sniffed out a small splash on my wrist, I immediately recognized this fascinating scent on myself. The good news is:
It is probably really the same fragrance.
The bad version: The version from Oman is not only stronger, no, it is much deeper, more voluminous, rounder and creamier, it also has a little less freshness, but gives the impression that it smells "more natural" and sounds more like a big orchestra, while the European version is more like the little sister. But you can sniff out this difference in the direct test on both flacons. Of course the version from Oman makes the race for me, but my cousin doesn't find the European version any less pleasant because of its freshness. Maybe everyone should test for themselves... Hope you weren't too bored...

The Heavenly Woman?
Good evening, snoops :)
Since you are waiting for a new comment, I don't want to be like that and will publish a new comment this evening. Well, just like every night! Do you know from me :D

And today it's Ciel Woman from Amouage's turn, which, if I didn't translate it totally stupidly, would have to mean as much as "heavenly woman" or even "heavenly woman". Which again would be proof that I'm not the only one who calls women goddesses, at least now and then, if you don't bitch or something :DD

Well, I think that means that this fragrance is a women's fragrance, which should give you a pleasant feeling, similar to the feeling of waking up on a summer morning under a crystal clear sky and enjoying the warm rays of the sun, as well as of course the summery plant fragrances, of which I will certainly have no idea myself :D

The fragrance:
The fragrance starts with fresh, floral scents that are very pleasant and I hope that the variety of different flowers will not drift into the stuffy later, but we'll see about that. Anyway, at the beginning I smell the gardenias, then a scent that reminds me of water lilies (or water lilies?) as well as camomile, and then violets appear, which also quickly gain intensity and smell sweet as well as powdery. Jasmine is also present, which also smells sweetly, and then there are roses, although these currently remain more in the background and can only be perceived from close up.
Later, it still smells very flowery, fresh summery as well as clean, especially together with the musk, which appears more and more. Incense seems to be present, at least according to the fragrance pyramid, but it is extremely weak, so you can hardly perceive it.
As expected, the fragrance becomes a little more stuffy as a base, after all so many flowers appear here that when combined (for me) they seem a little overwhelming :D But I think you ladies will like it rather than disturb it.
Apart from that, the scent is very beautiful, even if it gets weaker towards the end faster than one is used to from Amouage.

The Sillage and the shelf life:
The charisma is quite okay, the scent is no firecracker and can't be smelled over long distances, but it still has a nice charisma, which you can smell from normal closeness at a scent that also comes across nice without wrapping everything in a huge scent cloud.
The shelf life is somewhat long, but in comparison to other fragrances of this brand a little weaker, but what does not matter, because the fragrance first of all also withstands so well (namely at least six hours) and secondly this shelf life is very good especially for a summery fragrance!

The bottle:
As usual, the slightly inflated bottle with the partially pressed side surfaces is of very high quality and comes across a little simpler this time, as it has no (unusual) color like other fragrances of this brand. Instead, he's more clear. On the front you can see the metal Amouage logo. The name of the fragrance was engraved on the gold-plated neck. The lid reminds again of roofs of oriental towers and carries at its top an azure blue Swarovski gemstone (matching the sky theme). A beautiful bottle, which gives nothing to complain about!

Yes, Ciel Woman is a beautiful fragrance that comes fresh. So not refreshing as with citric scents, but fresh and summery like a beautiful breeze of a summery wind that blows scents of beautiful, blooming flowers, while the sun throws down its rays of sunshine (don't forget to use sun cream for too long irradiation :D) and warms the pretty faces of the ladies and additionally provides a vitamin D effect!

Ciel Woman has of course also become a scent for warm days, and since spring is already around the corner, you can finally wear it with pleasure to please yourself as well as the surroundings, although the surroundings would soon have to move closer to one due to the somewhat weak sillage! He is too weak to go out with it, but for the day he is a great companion for all occasions!
This makes it one of those (Amouage) fragrances that are definitely worth a look.

And I have come once again to the end and wish you a nice evening, until soon! :)

Gone with the Wind
I wanted to test Ciel for some time and finally the time had come....

As soon as I sprayed Ciel on my wrist, I was diving into another world...

I fly over the Alps... i recognize a mountain lake... many pink water lilies swim in the mountain lake...they smell tender and rosy, slightly aquatic-glazed (really very light)...

....I can also perceive a very shy briese of violets and rose...

The sun shines with full power and warms the flowers and the reflecting mountain lake...

...I fly over waddy-fuzzy clouds... They are as tender as peaches, but they are very difficult to sniff out...slightly sweet...

My skin gets creamy warm from the strong rays of the sun....

It just smells heavenly...
...very tender and fine, slightly rosy fruity... and then.... creamy
Musk is also represented quite delicately.... ^

There is nothing to smell of sandalwood, incense and cedar on my skin, which I personally do not find a pity ;)

For me a fine Amouage, which was allowed to move in a few days after the test :)

Fresh, freshest, most flowery!
"Ciel" is also such a typical "clean scent", a bit similar to "Dia" - at least for my nose.

Except they put a whole spring load in here at Ciel's. So spring morning, with dewy glasses, white flowers, powder, something pleasant, like freshly washed, sun-dried terry towels...

I find the fragrance really very beautiful, suitable for everyday use, not too intrusive. Rather day than evening perfume. It just smells the way you want to smell when you want to appear "well-groomed". A feel-good water, also wearable during sports or yoga etc.

Later it even becomes a bit incensey on me, even though I didn't even notice it at first.

Unfortunately - despite the Oman version, which I rate, not the most durable fragrance and not the best Sillage. While other Amouage blow me half over, here rather a soft, fresh and fine breeze blows
Well done!

Surprisingly suitable for winter
I thought I would wear this fragrance more in the summer, but somehow I realize that this slightly fresh scent fits very nicely in the winter. Sillage and durability are very good. The white flowers are here more fresh and light than powdery and heavy. An all around successful fragrance. Who likes light floral fragrances, can definitely look at this one

Relaxing scent of a bath taken a couple of minutes ago. Grows more purely floral (lily) towards dry-down. Cozy.

Exquisitely soft and soapy, Ciel could easily be mistaken for an "I just got out of the shower freshness inoffensive and very long lasting.

This light weight floral is a terrific "everywhere" scent. I usually swoon over the heavier scents, but Ciel makes light gorgeous.

Whenever "Ciel" seems to take off because of his white-floral delicacy, subtle heavy note (incense?) emerges which does not make it happen.
