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
This is the kind of scent that sits close in a quiet room and makes its presence felt in the pause between conversations. It suits a reflective, intimate setting where soft sweetness and a faint savory warmth can read as skin, not statement.
How to wear
Best in cooler weather or air-conditioned spaces, where its almond-milk creaminess and tonka warmth can bloom without turning heavy. Apply lightly, one to three sprays, for a close, smooth trail; more will emphasize the sweet buttery facet and the rice-paper texture.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like edible nuances handled with restraint: almond, milky woods, soft sweetness and a skin-close finish. It will appeal to those who prefer modern, minimalist fragrances with a comforting texture and a sensual but understated profile.

The nose
Jérôme Epinette is a French perfumer known for polished, modern compositions that balance clarity with texture. His work often reads as accessible but nuanced, with a talent for making unusual accords feel smooth, wearable and immediately appealing. For Celestial Object, he shapes Liis’s starry concept into a creamy almond-and-rice accord lifted by pink pepper and quince, then grounded in tonka and labdanum. The result fits his signature style: refined, contemporary and built around a memorable central texture rather than heavy ornament.
Collaborators
Liis co-founders Alissa Sullivan and Leslie Hendin shaped the house’s minimalist, story-led brief and its second-skin philosophy, giving the fragrance its emotional direction and wearable softness. Their role is less about formula authorship than about defining the concept, tone and aesthetic framework that guided the perfume’s creation.
Liis’s story
Liis builds fragrance as intimate, modern and personal, with a clean, minimalist sensibility and a strong emphasis on wearability. The house favors sheer, layered compositions made in California, using conscious formulas and story-driven ideas that invite the wearer to interpret scent as a private experience.
Celestial Object’s concept
Celestial Object was created around the idea that we are made of stars, translating that cosmic image into a scent about the bond between skin and sky. Its almond, rice and vanilla-like creaminess gives the concept a tactile, human warmth, while the name and airy structure keep the composition light and contemplative.
Extra info
The name refers to an astronomical term and the idea of our place in the universe. The fragrance is presented as a genderless Eau de Parfum and is part of Liis’s story-led, California-made collection.
