CHICELLE

Chicelle is the extrait de parfum created by perfumer Gökhan Şimşek for Unique'e Luxury, launched in June 2026: a floral fruity gourmand built on strawberry, peony and green apple in the opening, a heart of rose and jasmine, and a base of praline, vanilla and musk.

The Fragrance

Chicelle is a contemporary olfactory portrait, steering clear of overly sweet gourmands and overly classic florals. Turkish perfumer Gökhan Şimşek — already behind other Unique'e Luxury creations such as Ocean The Rive and Mangonifiscent — builds a structure that moves through three distinct phases.

The opening is juicy and lively: ripe strawberry, the crisp, tart edge of Granny Smith apple, and a hint of peony and iris that softens the sweetness with a powdery touch. It's not a loud opening, but a bright one.

The heart turns decisively floral: rose and jasmine intertwine without weighing the fragrance down, keeping the same lightness as the opening while adding depth. It's the most elegant passage in the composition.

The base is where Chicelle reveals its true gourmand identity: praline and sugary notes warm up over vanilla, amber and musk, without slipping into anything cloying — the floral heart stays perceptible right through to the end.

How It Wears on Skin

In the first 15-20 minutes, the fruity facet dominates: fresh, almost crisp, with peony emerging in the background. After about half an hour, the floral heart takes over, softening the fragrance into a more refined register. Over the following hours, the gourmand base slowly surfaces, staying restrained rather than overwhelming — those who've already tried Chicelle report good longevity and above-average projection for an extrait de parfum in this range, with a warm, enveloping dry-down still noticeable hours later.

Who We Recommend Chicelle For

Chicelle suits anyone looking for a gourmand that doesn't wear thin: for those who love fruity florals but want more character in the base, and for gourmand lovers who prefer something less overpowering. Fresh on opening, warm in the base, it works equally well through the colder months and as an everyday scent for more considered occasions.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Take

In our boutique, Chicelle stood out for a specific reason: it doesn't try to impress in the first five minutes — it grows on you. It's the kind of gourmand we recommend to anyone who's found other fruity florals too flat or too sweet in the past — the rose and jasmine in the heart make a real difference here, and it's noticeable throughout, not just at first spray.
