This is the most delicious fragrance that I have ever smelled. This is the kind of “foody” scent that I wear happily and won’t stop sniffing myself. Cielo is described as a “modern green chypre”. I like to describe it as a “edible”.  Notes include: sweet daphne, grape leaf, honeysuckle, fig leaf, honey, oak, and sandalwood.  Cielo is sweet like fig and honey. That being said, if you love honey or fig fragrances then you’ll be a fan of this. I really don’t know why they call it a “chypre” fragrance. No citrus, oakmoss, etc. but it has some sandalwood. Anyways, at first spritz  you can smell the daphne and honeysuckle. But, it isn’t very “floral”. It has been “greened” by the fuzzy grape leaf. It’s  a really interesting mix. The daphne scent reminds me of jasmine and I love when it blooms in late winter/early spring. So there is this lush floral with green, fresh grape leaves. I love the smell of grape leaves and every time I pass a vine I have to rub the leaves to release that odor. After about 15 to 30 minutes, I get a coconut milk like sweetness from the fig leaf. I am a fan of anything fig, so this part of the fragrance brings me much delight. It is warm, green, fruity. It’s everything. This fig leaf aroma is mixed with a little bit of honey but more like the “honey” nectar from a honeysuckle. The dry down of this fragrance is rich, lush, and amazing. It’s sticky golden honey in an oak barrel. This honey wears so nicely on me, many honey scents do not. This smells warm and comforting especially with the dried out woods in this blend. It smells like taking a sun break in fall. I love this fragrance. But, I am partial to fig and grape leaves. It’s funny because this scent is described by the company as “evoking the mood of a leisurely stroll through the sun-dappled vineyards of the Napa Valley on a warm autumn afternoon, this sophisticated green fragrance is built around the unusual combination of grape leaves and sweet daphne.” Before I even read that, that is what I thought. Maybe not Napa Valley, Washington and Oregon have vineyards too. I know we have daphne here in the PNW and I hear it grows better here than California…anyways. I wore this and thought this is a sunny fall day fragrance. I see myself wearing this with my favorite pair of worn out boots, light weight super-soft cardi, and a statement scarf, strolling through the farmer’s market on its last few days of being “in session” buying what’s in season. It’s comforting, warm, and somehow fresh. This fragrance will be apart of my fall wardrobe for sure.

Do give this fragrance a try if you like fig or honey scents.

UPDATE – Fragrance has been discontinued.
