The fashion house’s everyday approach to luxury spills out into fragrances that can be lathered on, spritzed atop, bathed in—or all of the above.

In an expansion of its haute parfumerie collection, Celine continues to redefine how its popular scents can be worn with four new bath and body products. Each formula was carefully crafted by artistic director Hedi Slimane, whose holistic approach has led the luxury fashion house into menswear, couture, fragrance, and now, in recent years, lifestyle and beauty. Building upon its existing fragrance line, which first premiered in 1964 with Vent Fou, the new products include liquid soap, body milk, hand cream, and hair mist—adding to the solid soaps, body oil, and bath milk introduced last year. The collection offers an immersive, everyday approach to living in its warm, bright notes that range from citrusy to musky.
In the house’s floral Cologne Céleste, sugary aromas of neroli and musky notes of ambrette fuse together in an instantly signature scent. The liquid soap, body milk, and hand cream are available in this fragrance as well as are its Parade, La Peau Nue, and Reptile scents. Meanwhile the hair mist comes in Parade, Reptile, and Black Tie. Celine’s essence extends to the design of the bottles, which are adorned with its iconic Triomphe motifs and grain de poudre style labels embellished with 17th-century moldings. This dedication to modern minimalism and effortless luxury has taken new forms under Slimane, who even recently ventured into wellness with a pilates line complete with a Reformer pilates machine.
Location is everything—especially for LA renaissance man Harley Wertheimer. Be it the new setting of his contemporary art gallery or his revitalized Hollywood café a stone’s throw away, he sees spaces not for what they are but for what they could be.
