Ciel

by Lucas Sieuzac

Amouage Ciel is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Lucas Sieuzac. The fragrance opens with Violet Leaf, Cyclamen, and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Peach Blossom, and Water Lily, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Musk, Incense, and Cedar.

Our verdict on Ciel: Favourite

Ciel is a divisive little number. Some adore its fresh, clean elegance, others find it shockingly basic for Amouage, smelling of cheap shampoo or dated soap. Expect creamy white florals, but be prepared for potential disappointment with its subtle character and sometimes fleeting presence.

Its clean, fresh, and often subtle sillage makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. While some find it elegant enough for formal settings, its light nature means it's not a commanding choice. It isn't a dedicated sport scent, but its aquatic refreshness may suit light activity.

About

Opens with a dewy, almost aquatic freshness from violet leaf and cyclamen, quickly joined by the creamy, lush bloom of gardenia. The heart unfurls with a bouquet of water lily, jasmine, and a touch of sweet peach blossom, creating a spacious, airy floral core. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, underpinned by soft sandalwood and a subtle wisp of incense, grounding the ethereal florals without weighing them down.
