Buttery soft cedar/vanilla dream with searching potential.... Heavenly in the true sense of the word....
Ohh who smells here so soft and so irresistible... Actually I Today, because I got in Paris as I bought the "Dans Paris" at Celine, a few testers from the other fragrances from the house Celine with in my bag... One of them was just "Black Tie"...

Black Tie, so one of the noblest dress codes at all. I would have imagined a fragrance of masculine, very noble round maybe a bit strict.... Ohhh, but what a surprise when I tested the fragrance... An irresistible, lovely and buttery scent flowed towards me.... Is this what heaven smells like? Is this how the little angels smell when they fly around with their white wings and look so soft and cute? I think so... For me actually one of the most beautiful unisex scents I have ever smelled.... That's quite a statement, because my perfume journey is almost 30 years long..

So how does this extraordinary dream scent smell.... The scent starts out lovely and as buttery as a cashmere sweater.... Irisbutter smell I quite honestly hardly but maybe it is exactly this Irisbutter note of this fragrance so soft, so beautiful and so unique. I smell soft and addictive cedar, a bit of herbs and an irresistible vanilla in the most exclusive way ever.... Black Tie smells so extraordinary that it's hard to describe the individual notes.... A piece of cedar in a sauna, a bit of herbs and a heap of vanilla powder on top... That's kind of what Black Tie smells like. I honestly can't imagine there's a single person on God's earth who wouldn't find this scent irresistible....

Unisex but not masculine, if that makes any sense.... Sweet and lovely without being sticky and smotheringly sweet. Herbal but without dominant herbs, just an icing on the cake....

I was going to love this scent, whether on a woman or a man.... The comes immediately on my WL.. The bottles of Celine are super elegant and a jewel on any shelf or dresser.... Magnetic closure and a great durability ... Sillage I could not yet test. Will I but later write about it..

Great, almost astronomical addictive potential..

The meltdown is initiated..
Oh how many fragrances I've had with me that have defined themselves as the ultimate night out fragrance or have been explicitly categorized by reviews. Everyone wants to be the seductive drop, which either in an atmospheric atmosphere attracts the eyes in the bar on itself or in the appropriate moments his person of desire to blush and lead to cuddle to his own body. Many try it, many it is said, but only a few then manage to ascend to the sizes, which actually arrive seductively at the counterpart.

Everyone may draw this line with his personal taste and everyone has his favorites, which one finds cuddly. However, it is often agreed that an evening fragrance should exude a certain warmth, softness and sweet complexity.
Often then notes such as various resins, vanilla, iris or leather are used. The combinations know no bounds, as do the tastes, although ultimately, when it comes to fragrance, taste is also determined by one's own journey of experience. My own taste has developed after so many samples and bottles to the point that I can no longer stand certain perfumes from my Parfumobeginner time.
In the realm of evening fragrances, there is this one that is always mentioned. Dior Homme, no matter the version, no matter the flanker or concentration. This fragrance is always mentioned as the shining example of the category in its overall concept. I would now like to say rightly, however, I never got to have even one of the variants under my nose until now. Therefore, I will look for parallels and comparisons to other fragrances of this genre and contrast them. My two comparison candidates with Dior Ambre Nuit and Valentino Uomo Intense but are not less known in our community.

In one respect, however, I can already spoil: the fragrance seems very seductive, warm and attractive. I feel him myself so, but also my wife has jumped directly a few compliments, which was directly positive, because she is also very picky what she likes fragrances. Therefore, I have a good feeling with the fragrance and gradually I had to inevitably think about it times to organize a bottle, which is still open to this day.

The enthusiasm can be described quickly for me. Vanilla and iris. In combination, a warm, soft and almost melting on the tongue pod is created, which sprays so incredibly much flavor. You'd think you've brushed yourself with a little crème brûlée. I feel the warmth directly on my skin, feel the creamy sweetness coat my neck in a veil of essential oils. Incredibly intense. It's joined by soft, light musk and a delicate woodiness that gives the scent a pleasant depth and longevity.
To compare to the two fragrances above, the Uomo Intense is drier, has more iris and leather touches, while the Ambre Nuit comes across as a bit sweeter and warmer, as it relies more on sweet resins.

Some of the more experienced perfumos may feel that the fragrance does have a certain simplicity or monotony to it, and that it seems somewhat arbitrary due to a lack of edges. This can not be denied, however, it may also be a straightforward fragrance that stands out alone by a wonderful simplicity or perfect balance. Because this fragrance definitely does stand out. Not by surprising or too complex notes, but its sniffed opulence and luxury, which also distinguishes many Roja fragrances. It would be presumptuous to compare this fragrance to a Roja, however, the vibe goes in a similar direction that appeals to me as a user and fragrance fan. Sometimes it's the simple things that we forget to love, even though this fragrance falls more on the luxury mainstream shelf simply because of its pricing policy from a luxury house. This does not bother me, however, provided that I am completely convinced.

My decision to worry about a bottle, you could certainly hear in my lines and also how well I like the fragrance. I had indeed more than a year ago decided to reduce the sweet-gourmand fragrances significantly (which also happened), but this fragrance seems to want to take the place that is free since the sale of my Black Phantom.
To this Black Tie I would give the personal crown of evening fragrances with signature, exclamation mark and double underscore. Because what is made here of vanilla and iris, how these are brought into harmony and mutually reinforce each other impresses me definitely.

Nothing else....
i would like to wear at the moment, as Black Tie. I bought a bottle from a dear perfumer in the souk and was blown away from start to finish. This fragrance is simply magic. A smoky, later fluffy vanilla, yet with depth through cedar and tree moss. Black Tie is so beautifully close to the skin that you can wear the fragrance anytime and anywhere. There's nothing that pinches and tweaks. The fragrance lasts 7-8 hours on me. The sillage is often criticized here, but I don't think it's a shortcoming. Quite the opposite. Why should I always wear "my fragrance" for others? Only the people who are allowed to approach me also benefit from it. When someone squeezes me, the air is sucked in briefly and then I can already see that smile on their face and that dreamy look. I know exactly how they feel. "Hmhhhh, vanilla. But good!" my niece said to me the other day. Black Tie on someone is actually like a little secret that shouldn't be revealed to everyone ;-) In short: a bottle was allowed to move in with me. The price may be debatable, but this fragrance was simply worth it to me.

One of the best fragrances in the world!!!
Black Tie from Celine is undoubtedly an exceptional fragrance. It envelops the senses with its high-quality, creamy and powdery notes. The buttery-soft iris lends the fragrance a sensual and seductive note that is clearly present in a delicate and gentle way.

This perfume has left such a positive impression on me and I can now easily understand why it is considered by many to be one of the best fragrances in the world. It definitely has the potential to carry this title, as its unique composition and captivating fragrance experience creates a special effect.

Some of my friends and family members have also noticed this delicate fragrance extremely positively. It may not have a great silage or projection, but it definitely reaches the people who are supposed to smell it =)

Love letter
My dear Black Tie,

since the first moment I perceived your lovely notes, I have been completely addicted to you.

Your unique aura envelops my senses with your symphony of delicate vanilla, buttery iris and noble cedar.

You literally fog my shipping, wrap me in your warm, powdery blanket of love and security.

I no longer want to be without you! Please stay with me, from now and until all eternity...

Bois D'Argent, but take all the interesting aspects out of it and overprice it. Black Tie by Celine. Hedi you are a one trick pony.

The understatement of the night. Powdery-creamy orris butter together with vanilla and dry woods. For me the better choice than Dior Homme
