Celestial Object is inspired by the idea that we are made of stars, and the connection between body and sky. Here the connection is between skin and vanilla, enlivened by sugared almonds and the popcorn nuance of rice, with a sprinkling of salt. Sweet and buttery.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Celestial Object suits the quiet interval after the day’s demands have eased, when conversation draws closer and the pace slows. Sugared almond and buttery rice lend a comforting, edible warmth, while incense keeps the sweetness from becoming purely confectionery.
How to wear
Try it in mild or cool weather, when its buttery almond and tonka warmth can feel especially inviting. Start with one or two sprays on skin for an intimate effect; in warmer conditions, apply lightly so the sweet, milky facets do not dominate.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to almond, milky textures and rice-like gourmands, but who prefer sweetness with a less literal dessert character. The incense and resinous base offer a counterpoint for wearers who enjoy both edible softness and a drier, contemplative edge.

The nose
Jérôme Epinette, a perfumer at Robertet, is known for lucid compositions that balance distinctive ingredients with space and restraint. His work includes Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique and Gypsy Water, as well as numerous fragrances for independent houses. In Celestial Object, almond and rice paper meet incense and a tonka–labdanum base, bringing his measured approach to a softly gourmand composition.
Liis’s story
Liis treats perfume as an intimate, everyday second skin. Founded by Alissa Sullivan and Leslie Hendin, the California house translates personal experiences and emotions into minimalist compositions, leaving their meaning open to the wearer. Its fragrances are vegan and cruelty-free, with organic sugarcane alcohol.
Celestial Object’s concept
Celestial Object draws on the idea that we are made of stars, connecting the body with the sky. Its astronomical name frames a composition that moves between grounded almond and rice paper, rising incense, and a deeper tonka–labdanum background: an exploration of cosmic scale through something as intimate as scent on skin.
Extra info
Celestial Object was a finalist for the 2026 Fragrance Foundation Indie Fragrance of the Year award. Its official note list treats rice paper as a single note, rather than separate rice and paper accords.
