WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING

"Parfums Quartana Forest of the Golden Dream (by Celine Barel):

Lost in a Brothers Grimm pine forest, you move through sunbeams streaming through the branches. Incense hangs in the air and the drifty scents of spices and herbs from some distant cauldron beckon from faraway.

•

Perfumer Celine Barel and creative director Joseph Quartana have created a fantastical, timeless grove underlaid with mossy, woodsy and herbaceous notes, its paths lit by brilliant citrus. The pine note – which in perfume can veer into household cleaner – is uncannily realistic here; cool, turpenic, coniferous, and is lifted by lovely, breezy mimosa.

•

Forest of the Golden Dream is the perfect name for this radiant herbal-woods scent, whose wearing it is like submitting to reverie."
