Inspiration: Xerjoff - Erba Pura
Couldn't load pickup availability
Erba Pura by Xerjoff is the obvious starting point for Celestine by Ainash, with both leaning hard into exuberant fruit over a creamy musky base. Caramel and sandalwood soften the finish, but peach, pineapple and strawberry read as more distinct individual fruits here. That juicier fruit and creamier base make Celestine a useful sample for anyone who likes Erba Pura's scale but wants a different texture.
Top: peach, pineapple, strawberry, orange
Middle: rose, lily of the valley, jasmine, amber
Base: sandalwood, vanilla, caramel, musk
It opens like a bowl of ripe peach, pineapple and strawberries splashed with orange, bright and immediately sweet. Rose, jasmine and lily of the valley soften the fruit before sandalwood, vanilla, caramel and musk turn the drydown creamy and warm.
Celestine leads with a clear burst of ripe fruit and keeps a noticeable sweet aura as the florals and caramel begin to soften it. The musky sandalwood base gives the fragrance enough staying presence to carry well beyond the brighter opening.
The lush fruit and florals give it a feminine lean. Spring and summer suit Celestine's peach, pineapple and strawberry best, particularly from late morning into a warm evening. Brunch, garden parties, vacations, daytime celebrations and fun dates match its colorful personality.
