‘Zouzou is the new opus in the Celine Haute Parfumerie collection initiated in 2019. It comes to join the eleven perfumes conceived by Hedi Slimane for the launch of the line. All of them are in keeping with the tradition of the “couturier parfumeur” and recapture the excellence of French haute parfumerie.’ – Celine
‘I wished to create a perfume about utopic adolescence, capturing an ideal of eternal youth. The recklessness of the young French writer Francoise sagan, the ingenu boyishness of Jean Seberg filmed by Jean Luc Godard, the magnificent heroines of the velvet underground, together with the young women I was able to photograph for more than 20 years. I called my new perfume for Celine “ZouZou”, an affectionate and child-like nickname that appeared in the last century to describe a young woman with short hair.’ – Hedi Slimane
