Parade

Parade by Celine is a clean, fresh, and airy citrus-woody fragrance with prominent neroli, bergamot, vetiver, and oakmoss notes. It delivers a luminous, spa-like sensation on the skin—light, radiant, and evoking well-groomed elegance, like a smart boutique or a crisp linen towel. The scent is unisex in style but leans slightly masculine due to its herbal, earthy drydown and lack of sweetness. It opens with a bright, citrusy, slightly spicy green accord and evolves into a soothing, mossy, woody base with subtle muskiness. While the quality of the blend is consistent and refined, its longevity is moderate, holding only moderately on skin and fading quickly on fabric. The scent projects gently and is best suited for daytime wear in spring or summer. Some users report it can be overpowering or oddly medicinal in the opening due to the pairing of neroli and oakmoss, but later, it settles into an appealing, dedicatedly modern and minimal perfume world.
