July 12, 2024

Hedi Slimane's Olfactory Opus: Celine Introduces its First Bath and Body Range

Hedi Slimane, the visionary creative director of Celine, has unveiled the house's first-ever Bath and Body range. This collection, a welcomed extension of Celine's revered Haute Parfumerie line, marks a sensorial revolution, bottling the essence of French sophistication for your daily rituals.

A Harmonious Quartet of Luxury

Arriving as a harmonious quartet, the collection features a sumptuous liquid soap, a velvet-touch body lotion, an indulgent hand cream, and an innovative hair mist. Each product reflects Slimane’s olfactory artistry, faithfully recreating the signature scents that have made Celine's Haute Parfumerie collection a cult favorite among fragrance collectors. This launch follows the success of previously launched solid soaps, Cologne Celeste body oil, and bath milk.

A Symphony of Scents: From Parade to Black Tie

The Bath and Body range is an aromatic tour de force, featuring beloved fragrances from the Haute Parfumerie collection. Parade, with its intoxicating blend of powdery notes and warm vanilla, permeates all four products. La Peau Nue offers a whisper of intimacy, while Cologne Celeste brings a crisp, ethereal freshness to the liquid soap, body lotion, and hand cream.

For those craving an edge, Reptile slithers its way through the entire line, its leathery notes leaving an indelible mark. The hair mist, a standout innovation, comes infused with the enigmatic Black Tie fragrance, promising to envelop tresses in an aura of mystery and allure.

Artisanal Craftsmanship Meets Modern Luxury

True to Celine's commitment to excellence, each formula has been meticulously developed under Slimane's exacting eye. The result is a perfect blend of sensoriality, performance, and naturalness. These products transform daily routines into indulgent rituals.

Echoing the architectural lines of the Haute Parfumerie bottles, the new collection features square sections and beveled angles. The amber-tinted and pristine white vessels, crafted from recycled materials, are crowned with black caps bearing the iconic Triomphe motif—a subtle nod to the house's heritage.

A Sustainable Approach to Luxury

In a nod to contemporary concerns, Celine by Hedi Slimane has ensured that luxury and sustainability coexist harmoniously. The bottles and tubes are composed of 50% recycled PET or 95% aluminum, proving that eco-consciousness can be chic.

The Final Touch: Packaging as Art

The collection's packaging is a work of art in itself. Labels reminiscent of "grain de poudre" texture are adorned with 17th-century moldings, while the hand cream's faceted cap mirrors the design of its perfume counterparts. These thoughtful details elevate the range from mere products to covetable objets d'art.

Through the Lens of Hedi Slimane

Adding to the allure of this launch is the stunning campaign photography by Slimane himself. Known for his keen eye and distinctive black-and-white aesthetic, Slimane's images capture the essence of the collection with a raw yet refined sensibility. The photographs serve as artistic expressions in their own right, further blurring the lines between fashion, fragrance, and fine art.

As we eagerly await the collection's arrival, one thing is clear: Celine by Hedi Slimane's Bath and Body range is not just about cleansing and moisturizing—it's about enveloping oneself in an exquisite experience from head to toe. Hedi Slimane has once again proven that in the world of Celine, everyday luxury is anything but ordinary. With this launch, he invites us to indulge in a daily ritual that blends self-care with the timeless elements of Celine’s design heritage.
