Stele Venue Cercle Sportif Eau De Parfum

A neroli fragrance of effortless elegance - where zesty citrus meets the cool sophistication of neroli and petitgrain.

It’s bright yet grounded, invigorating yet understated. A fragrance that recalls the refinement of a private club, where time slows and pleasure is an art form. Cercle Sportif is a portrait of a life well-lived - a balance of energy and ease. It lingers like the last serve before dusk, the cool touch of a linen shirt, the memory of a perfect summer.

Top: Mandarin, Green Leaves, Lemon Zest Heart: Neroli, Petitgrain, Cedarwood Base: Myrrh, Suede, Watery Musk

Paying homage to Saigon’s first sports and leisure club, Cercle Sportif recalls the quiet elegance of mid-century Saigon - the golden age of leisure. Under white parasols, a game unfolds: tennis balls skim manicured courts, volleys met with low laughter. Beyond the baseline, the pool shimmers in the afternoon sun; a Campari sweats on the table. Citrus lingers in the air, mingling with sun-warmed skin and crisp linen - marking unhurried afternoons of leisure and light.

"For Cercle Sportif, I pictured a sun-drenched Saigon club where laughter carried over tennis courts and the air smelled of citrus cocktails and freshly cut grass. I imagined it green, sparkling, alive - like peeling a mandarin by the poolside, fingers sticky with mint. I wanted the fragrance to hold nostalgia without heaviness: crisp cologne against sun-warmed skin, the quiet elegance of linen meeting the ease of summer. The opening burst of citrus is the ping of a tennis ball at dawn; the suede and myrrh in the drydown linger like the memory of a perfect afternoon. To me, Cercle Sportif is proof that true luxury isn’t about owning things—it’s about owning the moment." - Maxime Exler
