In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Seventeen Celia offers a cozy, fruit-forward experience that leans into dark plum and black currant before settling into a warm sandalwood and vanilla base. It is designed for casual daytime wear during the transition from cool spring mornings to mild autumn afternoons, wrapping the wearer in a soft, woody skin scent.

Reviews →

Sola by Via Paris Parfums is a light floral fragrance that balances green bamboo leaf and water peony. A subtle coffee note in the heart gives it a slightly warm touch, while sandalwood and tolu balsam settle quietly in the base. It is a soft choice for daily wear during spring mornings.
