"On a cold winter day, the project took shape: a chypre fragrance, a true storyteller. I was the first person to wear this fragrance myself, for the first time in my career. It's a surprising scent, with a familiar touch. Its style is modern yet easy to understand, filling just enough chapters to complete the story. And suddenly, the name emerged—Balkiss, the actual name of the Queen of Sheba, one of the most beautiful, wisest, and mysterious women, who continues to fascinate centuries later. Sublime enchants us, Balkiss immortalizes us: perfect beauty is within us." Céline Ellena
Céline Ellena's "Sublime Balkiss" is definitely a modern chypre, reminiscent of a chypre from days gone by. It begins with truly intoxicating notes of berries paired with sparkling bergamot. The floral heart captivates with its vibrant bouquet of violets, romantic lilies, and elegant Damascus rose. Patchouli, the main protagonist, is revered for its dark and mysterious note, which gently winds its way through the entire fragrance, leaving a lingering trail of cocoa powder.
