Molton Brown Celestial Maracuja is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Celestial Maracuja opens with Lemon, and settles into a heart of Passion Flower, Orange Blossom, and Ylang-Ylang. Molton Brown's Celestial Maracuja carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Seriously, Molton Brown, sort your marketing out. The notes listed don't match what's actually in the bottle, and the 'passion fruit' is nowhere to be found. What you get is a cold, sharp floral that some might find clean and refreshing, but others will just wonder what happened to the fruit.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Built on citrus, white floral and yellow floral - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Sport
Also Works:
Casual

Its clean, fresh, and slightly cold floral profile makes it suitable for office wear, assuming it's not overpowering (performance details were not provided). The sharp floral character also works well for sport or casual daytime use. It lacks the warmth or sweetness typically associated with date nights or formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A sharp, almost soapy opening of lemon and bright orange blossom quickly gives way to a dominant, albeit dry, white and yellow floral heart. Expect a prominent passion flower note, blended with the waxy creaminess of ylang-ylang, creating a floral aroma that leans more austere than nectarous. The impression is clean and distinctly floral, with a cool undertone.
