About Us
Parfumerie Celeste has been a household name in The Hague for over twenty-five years, where mother and daughter Antoinette and Virginia Borsboom share their passion for exceptional fragrances. What began as a dream has grown into an elegant niche perfumery where craftsmanship, exclusivity, and personal attention converge. In our shop, everything revolves around experience, from the first sparkling top notes to the deep, lingering base of a perfume that tells a story.
With a family history in perfumes and cosmetics, a love of fragrance is in our DNA. We journey through the world of haute perfumery to select collections that combine character, quality, and emotion. Think of the Parisian poetry of Goutal, the artistic signature of Diptyque, and the timeless elegance of Van Cleef & Arpels. Discover the London refinement of Molton Brown and Ormonde Jayne, the Italian grandeur of Acqua di Parma, Carthusia, and Perris Monte Carlo, the iconic statements of Creed, and the modern minimalism of Escentric Molecules and Essential Parfums. For lovers of grand classics, you'll also find Serge Lutens and Robert Piguet, houses that have helped shape perfume history.
Our selection goes beyond perfume. We curate luxurious home fragrances and candles from brands like Trudon and Diptyque, refined skincare from Caudalie, and care rituals for bath, body, and hair. Each brand is chosen for its signature, quality of ingredients, and respect for craftsmanship. Increasingly, we're also looking for refillable formulas and conscious choices, so that beauty and sustainability go hand in hand.
At Celeste, personal service is paramount. We take the time to understand your preferences and, step by step, create a fragrance profile that truly suits you. Whether you're looking for a discreet fragrance for daytime, a bold signature for evening, or a collection that evolves with the seasons, we'll guide you with our knowledge and intuition. Trying is always welcome, so you can experience the fragrance unfold on your skin in peace.
We're also happy to help you choose the perfect gift. From carefully curated gift sets and festive wrapping to small gifts that feel special, every detail is carefully considered. In-store and online, you'll find the same dedication to elegance, simplicity, and clear advice, so you can always choose with confidence.
Step inside and discover a world of unique fragrances, selected with passion and expertise. We're happy to help you find your signature scent, a perfume that not only smells beautiful but also says something about who you are.
