La Peau Nue
by Celine
La Peau Nue is a softly sensual, powdery fragrance that evokes the feeling of clean, softly powdered skin after a shower—smooth, creamy, and intimate. It centers on orris and rice powder, creating a delicate, soft focus that feels wearable, personal, and quietly elegant. The scent unfolds as a refined interplay of buttery orris, subtle rose, and a faintly woody vetiver, with a hint of vanillic sweetness in the dry down. It carries the quiet sophistication of a luxury beauty product—like a pressed powder compact, or a silk-lined drawer where skin is kept night and day. While some note enough warmth and presence to project slightly in warm weather, most agree the sillage remains close and intimate, which aligns with its reputation as a 'your skin but better' scent.
