This perfume smells to me a lot like diaper wipes! It’s a very clean smelling scent, like you’re trying to overpower the smell of something not so clean. I do not like this perfume. I want to smell clean but I don’t want to smell like diaper wipes!

Not sexy, but pretty—a clean floral. Great for office, church, shopping. I would not choose it for night time wear.

Lovely day fragrance that is almost like a light from within. It is like the serenity in a garden. It’s fresh with rich floral notes. Notes are violet leaves, water lily, gardenia, cyclamen, jasmine, peach blossom, rose. Base notes are: musk, sandalwood, incense, Cedar, amber. The longevity is fantastic

Promising opening followed by motel soap.

Ciel is highly likable and people will enjoy it. Wear it when you want to be refined, polite, and well-mannered. This is THE definition of classic feminine spring. Overall this is an aquatic floral that is backed up with white florals to give it some texture. This is purely feminine spring, fresh, floral, aquatic, and clean. Cyclamen is heavily featured in the top notes, and that seems to be where the non-ordinary comes from. It can be a bit unguided at first but within a few minutes it starts playing along nicely with the other notes. Gardenia, water-lily, and jasmine are the true heart of this, making it a light fresh-floral perfume when all is said and done. This one is sensitive to body chemistry: On my skin, this seems to gravitate towards being a very delicate white floral after 30 minutes, although I totally could understand 'expensive vintage soap' as well. Final verdict: I'm not sure who this is for: Those that want a fresh, clean aquatic floral may be disappointed with the white floral scent they get instead. Those that want a white floral may feel the aquatic notes while nice, sacrifice the performance they'd get elsewhere. And if you simply want an airy, fresh, feminine floral, which this is, you can at the very least get the same performance for a lower price.

This is my favorite Scentbird buy yet!! And to think i was going to cancel after this. Elegant and powdery, light and uplifting, floral and softly sunny. Amouage has outdone themselves with this lovely Summer treat!

My family said that this is a great scent on me.

Amouage ciel smells as a light soapy floral scent to me. It’s smells good and I like the outdoor vibes that it gives. However, my problem is that it doesn’t last long. For the price tag I was excepting better.

It smells as described in the Detail Box. Scent is long lasting and pleasant! Falls in the Category of a Work/Weekend Fragrance. I hope this helps!

Unique

Fragrance doesn’t last long at all

I didn’t liked the smell that lloks like a handsoap and it doesn’t last even 10 minutes. Very disappointed

Started off well, with a rich floral sent. Quickly settled into an overly sweet almost baby powder smell on me

I love this perfume! It sleeps so fresh, as if I just got out of the shower. I love the fresh powder scent and it warms up to a sweet floral fragrance. I now wear this every day!

Smells soft and delicate like baby powder...it has a flowery opening that dries down to sweet sandalwood. It somehow manages to stay subtle even with heavy hitting notes like gardenia, jasmine, and amber. It leaves a trail and is super long lasting, with a projection of less than an arms length away. I think this frag is great for a spring day but would work for really any season, day or night.

Didn't like the scents

Smells expensive and divine

The scent was very light and clean. Smelled fantastic just wished it would have been a little stronger.

Probably not for the younger floral hating crowd, but I love it. It’s light and pretty in a floral semi aquatic way. It has slightly changeable stages and sometimes powdery in a shower clean way. But if you you like this type of fragrance, it’s classic.

refreshing floral for summer. beautiful for hot climates. young kids may think its too old for them perfect for 35+

Ciel is tender, light, pure floral scent. It is pleasant, but it didn’t impress me. I expected much more from Amouage house.

This perfume is so elegant without being "old lady". Beautiful floral with a lot of depth. It doesn't smell like anything else out there. Smells expensive and classy and feminine.

Not for me.

Love this burst of gardenias by Amoauge! Sad thing is after two hours I smell nothing and have to reapply!

on the fresh side, reminds me of an eau de cologne on the first place then evolves to a very sophisticate floral sent

It was a bit too " old lady" smelling to me. It was a feminine scent so I was thinking of using it as a spray in my delicates drawer.

Very feminine perfume. I like it very much. Great for spring and summer. Defenetly not for everybody because its special and unique.😚

Based on the description, I thought this would smell fresh and light. I was wrong. It's heavy and smells like a perfume my grandmother would wear. Would not order this again.

I really didn't like this one. I'm more into soft floral clean scents, more like Pleasures by Estee Lauder or Gardenia by Elizabeth Taylor. This fragrance had a musty like smell to it.

This is a bit harsh smelling, very grandmotherly, but not in a good way.

I was disappointed. I thought based on the notes that this would be a great scent for me, but it is just bad. Someone below called it old lady b.o. and that is very harsh, but I wouldn't spend $20.00 on it much less $250.00. Taking a break from trying new Amouage scents. I either love them like Honour Woman and Lilac Love or they are really bad like this and BlossomLove which I also got this month. Two misses.

I love Bracken Woman from Amouage and decided to try this one thinking it’s less intense and “fresh” as it was described. However, I don’t smell the freshness even after a few hours. I find it overwhelming and headache inducing. It’s not a cheap smell but it’s strong.

Not my favorite smell. Wasn't horrible just smelled like old lady smell. Not a fan.

This is a sophisticated floral - I can see why many are saying that it smells like an old lady, though that's not how I would describe it. When I think of "old lady" fragrances, I often picture powdery scents and this isn't powdery (which surprises me because of the violet - which often turns to powder). It's also not sweet or aquatic, which often accompany floral fragrances and tend to be more "youthful". It goes on a bit sharp and mellows nicely after about 30-45 minutes. Definitely suitable for everyday and work. It doesn't have a strong throw, but it lets itself known in a mild & pleasant way. Not my favorite, but it is a lovely and sophisticated fragrance. My skin & I just favor aquatic notes with florals.

Decided to try an Amouage fragrance outside my normal monthly subscription and ordered Ciel Woman a la carte. This is a beautiful fragrance! Lasted all day but was light & very feminine. Each time I smelled the fragrance throughout the day it put a smile on my face. Amouage fragrances are high end & expensive like Bond No. 9 and Montale, both which I have in my collection. This Ciel Woman I'm definitely going to add! You will love this fragrance if you love gardenia, jasmine, rose, amber, musk & sandalwood!

This perfume is VERY refreshing, floral with a hint of incense. At first spray you can smell the violet leaf, then get a burst of jasmine with the water lily, then after the dry down, u can smell the base notes of the sandalwood, amber, musk mixed with the incense it REALLLLY comes out. Altogether an AMAZING day or night perfume.

Beautiful,sweet,flirty,elegant,magical.... Not a common girl perfume more like a lady you can't seem to forget.

not one of my favs

I'm not sure if I just received a bad batch, but this is the worst perfume I have ever smelled. Overpowering and just gross. I can't even explain what it smelled like. Old woman body odor?

This instantly had a powder smell before I even sprayed it. I tried it on but it was too powdery for me. Not my favorite scent

Powdery, flowery, fresh. Spring in a bottle.

I think it smells wonderful. It's a fresh out of the shower scent. I really get frustrated seeing people say it smells like old lady, how rude. This is a shower clean smell. I'd hate to see what they think smells good if they think a shower clean smell stinks lol. I highly recommend this.

Would not recommend this perfume smells old lady like

Oh my! I didn't think I was going to love this scent since the notes are mostly florals but wow, i am in love! This scent is so fresh and so clean. After I've sprayed it and after it's been sitting on my skin for a few minutes, the smell becomes more pleasant and like I had just gotten out of the shower kind of fresh way. I don't know. I am not good at describing scents but this one made me feel really nice. This is my first Amouage experience and I am glad I tried it! I need to save to buy the full bottle!

Reminds me body lotion from Target. Husband did not like it. Not as heavy like other Amouage line, but still gave me headache.

This scent is fresh and perfect for spring. Not too strong but stays with you all day.

Very nice scent. Not as strong as other scents in the Amouage line Good office perfume.

I liked this perfume but not enough to buy a whole bottle of it.But it is a nice addition to my collection.

I couldn't tell whether or not I liked the scent because the nozzle was broken. I couldn't really spray anything, so my bottle has been sitting in my bag the whole time.

I liked the scent. It wasn't heavy and overpowering. Good for spring and summer.

I like the scent but it's hard to really get a real sense of the smell since the spray bottle is broken.

plah! Old lady powdery floral. Did not work on me at all. I haven't had much luck lately with my scent choices.

This is not as floral as I expected. There is a spicy undertone to it. To me this is a winter evening scent.

I liked this...I would not purchase though as the scent just wasn't unique enough.

Smells good. Doesn't last. A little bit too floral to be worn by a younger woman

Sweet, clean. lovely and uplifting scent!

didnt like this, made me nauseous

Not to my taste and did not last long.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this scent!! It does start off a little strong, and a little alcoholy, but when it dries down ITS AMAZING!!!! I've gotten so many compliments. It's floral (which I love), fresh and sexy.

Pretty. Not what I expected from an Amouage scent. Quite floral in a laundry-fresh sort of way. I don't love it, but I do like wearing it.

The best perfume! I love it

It smells good

Fresh floral scent! Delightful!
