I smell this and remember a spring morning - I’m fresh out the shower, I’ve put on a soft scented body lotion and I’m applying lipstick, getting ready for the day. Creamy, melts-on-your-skin orris and rosey lipstick. This feels like a hug and sits close to skin like one. One of the quietest perfumes I ever tried. Doesn’t really last much on me either, gone within a couple hours. I would get a bottle of this for those “no perfume” days but it’s just too pricey for what it is..
For me Celine have joined an elite group of designers who rarely seem to put a foot wrong with ultra chic, subtle and classical but still not devoid of creativity, perfume. La peau nue is very much in my wheelhouse and a pleasurable, powdery iris floral perfume it is too. There's a woody undercurrent without decending into papery, ionones which even a couple of the best Chanel iris/violet perfumes can have a tendancy to do. I've seen La Pausa in the smells like and without having smelled that in a while I'd say sure, okay, because the chanel synergy (without plagiarism) throughout Celine is evident. I think Polge made some of these didn't he? A minor critisism could be that this is almost too refined, refined out of existance and if you maybe want something which smells more of violet, iris/orris, luxury leather handbags and cosmetics, lipsticks etc... there are other fragrances which fulfill that brief better. That's me playing devils advocate though because for me this strikes the perfect, quiet, unassuming tone, I think it's a lovely perfume.
Very similar to Vetyverio by Diptyque
