Giardini di Toscana Celeste EDP
Description
Celeste captures the crisp freshness of dawn after a night storm: sea air, bright violet and a soft vanilla-musk finish. Composed by perfumer Silvia Martinelli for the family-owned Tuscan house Giardini di Toscana, it's built on a marine-floral structure that reads clean and luminous rather than sweet or heavy.
Scent Character
- Woody: 57%
- Floral: 14%
- Fresh: 14%
- Sweet: 14%
Translation: despite its airy, sea-breeze reputation, Celeste is really built on a woody-ambroxan base. The marine and violet facets sit on top of a musky, mineral wood foundation that gives it more grounding and lasting power than a typical fresh-floral.
