Stardust, warm skin, drifting incense, and the infinite darkness of the night sky inspire Liis Fragrances Celestial Object Eau de Parfum, an ethereal yet grounding fragrance exploring the connection between the human body and the universe.

Named for an astronomical term, Celestial Object begins with the idea that we are made of stars. Liis translates that vast concept into something intimate and wearable, pairing a sparkling haze of quince and pink pepper with the delicate texture of almond and rice paper. Incense drifts through the heart before the fragrance settles into the rich warmth of labdanum and tonka bean.

The contrasts are what make Celestial Object so compelling. It is luminous yet deep, airy yet warm, and abstract while remaining remarkably comforting on the skin. Quince provides a distinctive tart fruitiness rather than conventional sweetness, while pink pepper adds a shimmering spice. Rice paper and almond create a soft, almost weightless texture around the incense before resinous labdanum and tonka bring the composition back to earth.

The result is a quietly contemplative fragrance that Liis likens to stardust on the skin: warm, mysterious, softly spiced, and beautifully atmospheric.

Created by independent California fragrance house Liis, Celestial Object is a genderless Eau de Parfum made with organic sugarcane alcohol and designed to become part of the wearer's own story.

Celestial Object opens in a sparkling haze of quince and pink pepper. Quince brings a distinctive crisp fruitiness, while pink pepper gives the opening an almost shimmering quality.

The fragrance then becomes softer and more textural.

Almond and rice paper create a delicate, almost weightless accord at the heart. Incense rises through these softer notes, lending the composition an airy smokiness that reinforces its celestial inspiration.

As the fragrance settles, tonka bean and labdanum provide warmth and depth. Tonka brings a smooth, gently sweet character, while labdanum contributes its rich resinous warmth.

The drydown feels intimate and quietly mysterious, leaving a warm trail that contrasts beautifully with the sparkling opening.

The Story Behind Celestial Object

Celestial Object begins with an extraordinary but very real idea: the elements that make up our bodies originated among the stars.

Liis approaches this connection between body and sky through fragrance.

The name itself comes from astronomy, where a celestial object can refer to naturally occurring bodies and structures within the observable universe. Yet Liis turns this enormous scale inward, creating a fragrance intended to feel personal and intimate on the skin.

The opening glimmers with quince and pink pepper, creating the olfactory impression of light against darkness.

At the heart, almond and the delicate texture of rice paper bring the fragrance closer to the body. Incense seems to move in the opposite direction, drifting upward and connecting the grounded composition with the sky.

Finally, labdanum and tonka bean provide the darkness and depth of the universe behind it all.

The result is a fragrance built around contrasts: light and darkness, body and sky, intimacy and infinity.

Celestial Object transforms those ideas into something remarkably wearable, leaving what feels like a quiet trail of stardust across the skin.

About Liis Fragrances

Liis is an independent California fragrance house founded by Alissa Sullivan and Leslie Hendin.

Although the two grew up only minutes from one another, they did not meet until years later while living abroad. Both had collected perfume from a young age and shared a fascination with fragrance's ability to transform a moment, mood, or memory.

Alissa trained at the renowned ISIPCA perfumery school in Versailles, while Leslie brings a background as a designer, artist, and self-taught perfumer.

Together, they created Liis as a modern expression of perfumery in which scent becomes a medium for storytelling.

Rather than dictating exactly how a fragrance should be experienced, Liis draws upon personal experiences, emotions, ideas, and perspectives to create minimalist compositions that leave room for interpretation by the wearer.

Celestial Object extends that philosophy beyond individual memory and place, exploring something shared by everyone: our connection to the universe around us.
