Fragrance Profile
Virtues explores spiritual symbolism through warm spices, honey, cacao, and resinous woods. Inspired by the seven virtues, Michael Nordstrand’s composition reflects the ongoing pursuit of courage, balance, faith, and generosity, giving Caeleste’s celestial storytelling a rich, earthy expression.
Bergamot introduces a touch of brightness, accompanied by the aromatic character of star anise and the warming spice of cinnamon and clove. The heart brings together honey and cacao absolute, creating a textured sweetness softened by jasmine and the powdery elegance of orris.
Mysore sandalwood forms the foundation, joined by patchouli, vetiver, and cypriol for woody depth and earthy definition. Frankincense adds an incense facet, while benzoin, labdanum, vanilla, and musk round the composition with balsamic warmth and softness.
Spicy, resinous, and gently gourmand, Virtues balances the richness of honey and cacao with dry woods, roots, and incense. Its character connects comforting warmth with a contemplative sense of depth.
Performance
The composition moves from aromatic spices and floral accents toward a woody, resinous dry-down with lingering sweet facets. Longevity and projection vary with skin chemistry, application, and environment.
Ideal For
Autumn, winter, evenings, and special occasions. A unisex choice for lovers of incense, sandalwood, and warm spices who enjoy honey and cacao woven into an earthy amber composition.
