Black Tie

Black Tie by Celine is a minimalist, velvety vanilla fragrance centered around powdery orris, smooth vanilla, and a subtle woody-mossy base. It unfolds with a quiet elegance—soft and refined—more like a delicate whisper than a declaration. The scent feels luxurious, refined, and inherently unisex, with a powdery creaminess evoking high-end boutique or hotel soap, defined by a balanced sweetness that avoids cloying or gourmand excess. It’s comfortably wearable year-round, though its best presence is in colder months, where its warmth blends into the skin without interfering with other scents. Slight musk and a faint smoky dryness weave through the base, adding sophistication and a restrained sensual quality. The projection is intimate and moderate, rarely reaching far—so much so that it will likely go unnoticed by others, but consistently noticeable on the wearer, especially when moving or in close contact. The longevity is moderate, lasting several hours, though some users note it fades quickly on skin even when previously tolerable.
