Celestial Object by Liis is a softly radiant sweet amber almond perfume inspired by the idea that we are made of stars. Its gourmand-wood accord blends creamy almond, rice paper, and glowing amber with hints of quince, incense, and tonka bean. Minimalist packaging mirrors the scent’s purity — a translucent flacon crowned with a pearl-like cap. On my skin, it feels like a serene constellation: luminous yet grounded, intimate yet infinite. A gender-neutral fragrance perfect for cooler days, it lingers with warmth, calm, and the quiet poetry of the cosmos.
