Rimbaud Celine. Be the wind, strong and free

The quiet beauty of a sunset evening.
The cool wind, which brought from afar the aroma of fresh wet grass and bergamot, slowly walks through the fields, gently waving the stalks of lavender and wheat. Suddenly, speeding up, he suddenly reached a small garden with blooming irises and, enchanted by their delicate powdery aroma, calmed down, as if falling asleep, hiding himself in a velvet blanket of purple petals.

Here, sour citruses, bitter, fresh-spicy herbs and neroli give way to tickling nose lavender, dry earth and soft powdery iris, wrapped in a weightless woody-vanilla flair and fluffy soft musk.

Rimbaud Celine is a fragrance of fragile beauty dedicated to the French poet Arthur Rimbaud. His creative path was only 4 years, but in this short period he became famous throughout the world.

So simple, but done so beautifully

I barely smell lavender here. Instead, I mostly just get slightly powdery orris butter. It's incredibly simple and linear, but executed so incredibly well. It's deliciously warm and slightly sweet, while nowhere close to cloying. It also smells rather natural, unlike many powdery scents, which are often reminiscent of cosmetics. A soft and gentle perfume.

Enchanting…..

RIMBAUD starts with a powerful lavender opening…..

The herbaceous quality is quickly joined by the powdery touch of a buttery soft iris….gentle sweetness makes its entrance….

After a few minutes - when lavender and iris butter have united - neroli joins in with a zesty-fruity sweetness…..and then immediately recedes….

The fragrance remains exceptionally soft and even intensifies its powdery facets……possibly the listed wheat acts as a kind of “powder-cream booster”……or perhaps it’s the now clearly perceptible fine clouds of musk…….

The initial brute herbaceousness of the lavender has vanished……now it is pleasantly soft, rounded, and tender…..

Together with iris butter and a beautiful, delicate, and natural vanilla, it becomes an impressively harmonious “whole”……

Especially noteworthy:

Each new note that joins in during the course blends - after a brief, intense flash - immediately with the already present notes…..

RIMBAUD is a delicate and elegant fragrance with a pleasant amount of sweetness and powderiness……. a skin scent with subtle sillage, yet it shows presence and endurance….

The often invoked lavender/vanilla duo reveals itself here in its noble, understated, and quiet side and never drifts into the depths of a sticky, syrupy gourmand……

Arthur Rimbaud

Hedi Slimane can certainly not be denied one thing: that he works or has worked very successfully for his respective ventures and companies. Dior, YSL, self-discovery phases and processes, and now he is supposed to finally bring Celine into shape. This will also work, as he is now allowed to almost dictate everything (with) and is also leading the release of the new perfume creations of the house.

His bottle design is classic - Chanel-like-private-influenced - and beautifully staged. Quality glass and a heavy magnetic cap adorn the latest offspring of the Celine family.

I was curious not only about the beautiful other Celine perfumes but also about the fragrance named after the poet Arthur Rimbaud. Rimbaud himself: a consistently gifted individual, who throughout his life wrote poetry full of restlessness, adventured, and was also very successful as a businessman - always in search of a new identity.

This may now also be found in the Celine portfolio: After the statements that the Celine scents under Slimane have definitely been able to set olfactorily (Celine DNA with vanilla and lily plant iris), Rimbaud starts off quite softly from the beginning.
The cool lavender has enough space at the start to secure its place and brings one of Slimane's favorite plants back to the forefront for the first time. Caution: on plain paper, lavender remains dominant for a long time, but on skin, it is quickly overtaken by the iris - without losing its way. Memories of Eau Noire by Dior come to mind, where a bit more was dared - however, the two fragrances have nothing in common, I also do not smell the often-read DHI, as only the iris is associative...

Neroli crouches off the path, the Celine vanilla grounds the cool, gentle scent and warms it towards the end. I was reminded of Miya Shinma's "Yuki," and a comparison with Tom Ford's "Lavender Extreme" would also be fitting, which is just much more lavender-forward and without the iris antagonist. The advertised wheat note I can only slightly detect here, perhaps it keeps the sweetness of the vanilla in check - Rimbaud does not become too sweet, after all.

Slimane succeeds as the main responsible party in creating a beautifully light lavender iris, which quietly - but certainly - expresses its opinion and wonderfully showcases the interplay of both major ingredients, without being just a mild breeze.

Celinade for the Classroom

Just two weeks ago, I rated Rimbaud a 9 and wrote a statement. In the meantime, the sample is empty, a bottle has been acquired, and I have come to the conclusion that neither the number nor a few words can do justice to this magnificent scent.

Many of you surely remember that one teacher whose detailed explanations you wanted to avoid at all costs. Not because you didn’t like them or because you didn’t need the explanations. Simply because they enjoyed drinking coffee during breaks and indulging in a cigarette. I wholeheartedly wish that soothing break to everyone - unfortunately, this enormous scent mixture that these teachers exuded from their mouths afterward still evokes pure horror in me to this day.

As a teacher of highly pubescent teenagers, I have very concrete ideas about how my fragrance should work due to this unforgettable olfactory experience. I do not want them to avoid my explanations. My perfume must not fill the classroom (the teens already take care of that with their overused body sprays). It must not be perfumey, loud, kitschy, annoying, piercing, fidgety, or intrusive. I want the teenagers to perceive only a pleasant, subtle, calm, well-groomed, and warm scent when I lean towards them. Only very subtly, perhaps even subconsciously. But still in a way that it remains a positive memory. Rimbaud meets exactly these criteria, and I am already sure that many teenagers will associate this scent with me. It certainly touches me.
Rimbaud opens with a wonderfully authentic and natural lavender. It smells exactly like the pure lavender oil that sits on my nightstand. I love this naturalness and was a bit disappointed during the first tests that the lavender had already faded after half an hour. However, I can now perceive it very subtly in the background throughout the entire scent development. This perfectly fulfills my desire to wear a calm scent in the classroom.

After half an hour, the familiar and highly valued "Celinade" takes the lead. Just like in "Black Tie | Celine" and "Dans Paris | Celine," I feel incredibly comfortable with this delicate, gentle, understated, noble, and well-groomed vanilla in Rimbaud as well. At the same time, I now also perceive the wheat. It is difficult to put into words. But it gives the scent that certain something, and I find it pleasantly soft and warm. The iris butter also contributes to fulfilling my wishes.
Neroli, however, my nose does not recognize.
The scent remains like this for several hours until it gently sneaks away over the vanilla.
It is so close to the skin (even quieter than "Black Tie | Celine" and Dans Paris) that I needed a few attempts to perceive it for longer than two hours. In the meantime, I can actually smell it all day long, and I look forward to that every morning.
