Annick Menardo does tend toward a kind of style, in my head at least, although I suspect she probably has an eclectic back catalogue like many perfumers but like I said this perfume fits that residual image I have of her work. I personally love this late 90's early noughties aesthetic. Very hazy, smooth spiced musk perfumes especially for men, it was a new time of unisex,after the aquatic wave had crashed (excuse the pun) and folks were in gucci rush, Envy and DG by and Donna Karen etc.... sandalwoodish, musks with elegant spicing or lavender over the top. Timeless, yet of this period. This Celine is much in that vain although no where near as iconic or standout but for the price I paid (£14) and in hindsight now that Celine is one of these trendy designer brands with an exclusive perfume line on par with Chanel, Dior etc... then this was a really cool buy. I love the nutmeg and nutty notes in this. I like this kind of perfumery personally but is it boring and uneventful? Yes. Will owning this really enrich your collection? No. I love having vast reserves of perfumes I can put on and feel very little emotion about, while smelling good and not over or under stimulated. This fits the brief.
