Clean powdered baby skin to spray on.
For me, "La Peau Nue | Celine" is a fragrance that combines cleanliness, freshness, powderiness, creaminess & innocence.
The first image that comes to mind when I spray the fragrance on and sniff myself is a clean, freshly creamed and powdered baby's bottom or baby skin in general. The fragrance opens slightly fresh and tangy, although I personally barely notice the bergamot. A wonderful iris butter can be sniffed out, which reminds me slightly of the shea butter scent in its fragrance texture and DNA. This creaminess is accompanied by rice powder which, in my opinion, is the star of the whole fragrance. The fragrance also reminds me a little of cosmetics such as lipstick, blush etc. due to its delicate powderiness.
It is incredibly soft & well-groomed and a true "clean girl" fragrance. The rose is also very noticeable to me. Anyone who knows the typical rose water scent will also find it here. Slightly soapy and powdery at the same time.
Fresh out of the shower, creamed and powdered, that's the best way to describe the fragrance. Personally, it even reminds me a little of the typical Nivea Creme scent, only much higher quality.
The fragrance is very linear and consistent. It does not change its fragrance course and smells the same when sprayed on, right up to the drydown. The sillage is OK to average. It is not a fragrance that screams and calls for attention. Rather, it dances happily on the skin and waits for noses to find it instead of introducing itself without being asked.
This fragrance is suitable for even the most sensitive noses among us. My mother and I get migraines incredibly quickly from perfumes, but we could both sniff this fragrance until we couldn't walk anymore. At no point does it have a headache trigger because it is so incredibly gentle.

Sponge roll filled with lemon/vanilla cream.
I bought a bottle of "For Her Musc Noir Rose | Narciso Rodriguez" here in the Souk and was given a generous bottle of "Casamorati - Dama Bianca (Eau de Parfum) | XerJoff" by the super lovely lady @Clarissa, among other things. Looking back, I'm so incredibly grateful that I came across this fragrance because I would never have thought of trying it on my own.
Since I haven't jumped on the XerJoff bandwagon yet, am relatively new to the world of fragrances and my collection is more than manageable and affordable, I held the atomizer to my nose with pure curiosity and without any expectations and immediately knew "oh God, oh yes, oh yes, this will be something, oh yes it smells good, oh my God, yes". Two sprays on my wrist later, and my initial reaction was so confirmed.
The fragrance opens very fresh and citrusy. The/the/that? Kumquat is very noticeable and I personally like it very much. Kumquat smells citrusy to me, paired with a slight creaminess, so it doesn't make the opening too bitter/citrusy/cloying. Fresh, young & sparkling, that's how it smells at first. After a few minutes, beautiful white floral accords are added, which are always accompanied by a very authentic, pleasant and, above all, high-quality vanilla note. For me personally, the citrus, lily of the valley, jasmine and vanilla are the most noticeable.
The image, smell and taste of a sponge roll filled with a delicious lemon & vanilla cream comes irrevocably to mind. Light, very sweet & yet fresh, easily digestible & summery.
Yes, the scent is very vanilla-y but it's not a sticky, cheap, syrupy vanilla. It's a fresh vanilla bean accompanied by fresh citrusy and creamy white floral notes.
To me it smells sweet, fresh, clean and creamy, almost pudding-like (in a very good way). At no point does it smell powdery, at least to me.
Although I describe it as very edible, it is not a typical heavy gourmand fragrance, at least for me. The citrusy notes remain present right into the drydown, making it smell fresh and sweet rather than sticky and sweet.
Sillage is OK. My environment does not perceive the fragrance extremely. However, perhaps this will change when I wear the fragrance on warmer days. I will come back to the durability at a later date and am still testing it.
The aesthetics of the fragrance are classy, noble, white, light, cheerful & sweet. It is a fragrance for women in their late 20's/early 30's. It has a certain mature elegance and should not be worn with crop tops and jeans with holes. At least in my opinion, it goes best with a light linen outfit or a light feminine dress that doesn't show too much skin.

More devil than angel...
I tested a small sample on my own skin and felt a direct rejection. Who can stand that much patchouli?
Mugler fragrances have always had something too intense, strong, over-the-top and even a bit cheap for me. They are incredibly loud, self-confident and not at all interested in their surroundings. They shout out their full potential, introduce themselves unannounced and always DEMAND to be the center of attention. Unfortunately, "Angel (Eau de Parfum) | Mugler" does not recognize personal boundaries, personal freedom, elegance, restraint and class.
Top notes: patchouli, heart notes: patchouli and minimal jasmine, drydown: patchouli. That's what this fragrance smells like to me. Although there are so many great fragrances listed, these are not perceptible at all, at least to my nose. What a pity!
Somehow the fragrance reminds me of aftershave and smells anything but feminine to me. A hybrid of aftershave and men's shower gel dances around on my skin. The fragrance also smells very outdated and incredibly old to me. A perfect aftershave scent for an older gentleman, yes. But, a hyped perfume for women, really? I really don't get it.
The scent is incredibly linear to me and barely changes its DNA when worn. Mugler and I will never be friends again, at least not in this lifetime.

Sensual oriental embrace...
As a "Libre (Eau de Parfum Intense) | Yves Saint Laurent" lover, I naturally had to try this fragrance here, as both fragrances are quite often compared with each other in their DNA.
The opening is an explosion of saffron that I have never experienced in a fragrance before. Funnily enough, the opening doesn't necessarily remind me of saffron, but of the typical bitter almond aroma (used in baking). Very tart, very bitter and, in my opinion, even very almond-like to marzipan-like (although almond is not listed).
However, this explosion fades within a few short minutes and what remains is a sensual, sweet, warm and yet fresh oriental fragrance. The soft orange blossom and vanilla come through, paired with a freshness that I can't quite put my finger on. For me personally, there is even a hint of mint in the background (although again, not listed).
I can somewhat understand the comparison to "Libre (Eau de Parfum Intense) | Yves Saint Laurent". Nevertheless, I feel that this fragrance is very unique and "stands on its own". The heart notes are very distantly reminiscent of the typical Libre intense DNA, but have their own personal character.
The fragrance is warm and sweet. However, because there is always a certain freshness in the background, it is not a headache fragrance that overwhelms you.
In my opinion, it leans more towards the masculine. A light and, as a woman, nevertheless pleasant smelling note of men's shower gel or after-shave is perceptible.
The fragrance is warm and inviting. It definitely tends towards a Mediterranean aesthetic (dark hair, dark eyes and tanned skin).
With time, the praline note comes out more and it even starts to smell edible. The image and smell of raw cookie dough comes to mind.
In the drydown, it develops woody and soft at the same time, even with a hint of creaminess. Anyone who knows the scent of cashmere candles will also find it here. Sweet, woody and soft at the same time.
Overall, I find the fragrance very pleasant, inviting, warm and incredibly sensual. I have it on right now and can't stop sniffing my arm. It already has a certain addictive factor.

Fruit dwarf yogurt to spread.
Between "Qaed Al Fursan Unlimited / قائد الفرسان | Lattafa / لطافة", "Yara Tous | Lattafa / لطافة" and "Yara | Lattafa / لطافة", this one is still the most enjoyable.
It opens fresh, citrusy, mandarin-like. A little mandarin paired with caramel or even praline. At least that's how it smells to my nose. It also definitely has something creamy about it. The smell reminds me a little of fruit dwarf yoghurt from my childhood. A hybrid of the pink and orange cups. Therefore, the scent is definitely very young for me. It doesn't smell as cheap and plasticy as the other Lattafas. Nevertheless, it is again, unfortunately, not a creative or high-quality fragrance. Very simple, very young. Very "Tiktok dance in belly tops" like. Reminiscent of a typical shampoo scent paired with fruit yoghurt DNA. Definitely an easy-grab for the price. One bottle was enough for me. I wouldn't buy the perfume myself. The Lattafa fragrances have something scratchy for me and make them unpleasant in the long run. An OK fragrance for young girls under 20.
