Ciel combines iris, Bourbon vanilla, Ispahan rose and amber. Available as an EDP of 30 and 100 ml.
I love it. It doesn't remind me of vanilla pudding or baby powder. It reminds me of a classic fragance, one that can't go wrong because it's simple and timeless. It's the mixture of woody+powdery+vanille-y+floral what gives it that classic feel. I can imagine this perfume on the dressing table of a lady from 1925. It is powdery but in a nice way, like vintage face powder. And the vanilla isn't nauseating or too sweet as in an Yves Rocher perfume.
My mother absolutely, totally, intensely hates anything that smells "eatable" (she used to complain a lot about my teenage fragances and say that they smelled like flavoured yoghurts and candy and that she wouldn't put them on for all the gold in the world). However, she did purchase this perfume. I think that goes to show that it isn't all that sweet!
To me, Ciel proves that you don't need to spend lots of dollars on a perfume for it to be nice and elegant. It's not VERY long-lasting (or else I grow used to it after a while), but then again, some expensive perfumes wear off soon too. This one is also very affordable.
What can I say. I just love it!
LO USE HACE AÑOS Y ES UN AROMA MUY SUTIL DE VAINILLA Y POLVO DE BEBE¡¡ I LOVE¡¡¡¡
Soft, comforting, creamy and not too sweet. Prototype of a vannilla-powder fragrance. I receive compliments when I wear it and the price is unbeatable.
When I sprayed it on paper, I thought it might be nice . Since it's inexpensive, I bought it. At home and on me I couldn't stand it. It's too cloying, too vanilla, too nauseating - and I think it is a scent only for "old ladies". But actually I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Sometimes I'm in the right mood to wear fragrances like this, that make me feel calm and relaxed...as I was a child, and used the baby powder after the bath! Cielo is a powdery-but not too powdery fragrance: it has more similarities with Talco delicato by I profumi di firenze than Teint de neige by Villoresi; I can also notice a bit of vanilla and a touch of rose. I find it also somehow similar to Soft musk by Avon, another simple, confortable fragrance that I love!
i don't think a lot of people are really interested in this fragrance, so i will permit myself to write down a useless comment:
ComfyCat, i know this is not a chatroom but i had to lough so mutch about your review by having lively pictures of what one does in the kitchen alike your description, that i had to tell you how mutch you amused me with your words. hahaha!
nononno, don't buy don't buy! screaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!
You want to know what Ciel smells like? Ok here we go:
Go to the bathroom and grab a large package of babypowder, now move on to the kitchen and fix some vanilla pudding, pay attantion to go really heavy on the vanilla. Now put the vanilla pudding on your wrist, and dust it really generously with the baby powder, voilá that' Ciel...
