A memory of scent becomes A scent of memory
longing memories
"As we navigate through changing times, we all look for an escape, we seek a sense of connexion with the world around us, with memories that tie us to places or people we call home.
I was born in Mediterrannean, where endless civilisations left an imprint, a strong heritage of art & architecture.
I recall the fertile soils growing endless raw materials while connecting mountains & sea. Smells of citrus trees, aromatic herbs and spices intertwining at the soft breeze of white flowers & orange blossoms as they ornament the fierce gaze of cedar trees... Scents were always sensory to me; they spoke the language of shape, color & design.
I have created CÉLÕÉ to be reminded of home in the hopes of sending some warmth your way. After all, lighting a candle has always been solemn."
