During the conference, Eric Thoreux said: "Her voice has a classic timelessness, while as an artist, wife and mother, she embodies the values of today´s woman. Like her music, the fragrance of Celine Dion inspires your passion for love and your spirit for life: her strength, confidence and determination encourage you to fulfill your dreams". Celine is said to have been heavily involved in the creation of the scents, right down to the design of the bottle. "This fragrance is about celebrating life" said Celine. "It´s about a woman´s inner beauty, her confidence, her passion and her sensuality. It´s the way I like to feel about myself". Each set of fragrance notes in "Belong" conveys emotions that are constant throughout Celine´s life. The top notes consist of a unique "Joie de Vivre" composition, conveying a sense of pure joy with sparkling and fresh notes of Red Pepper Berries, Bergamot and Watery Pineapple. The middle notes evoke warmth with elegant and delicate Sherry Baby Orchid, Crystal Peony and Cotton Flower. To reflect Celine´s singular, quiet, inner spirit, the base features Hinoki Wood, commonly used to build Buddhist temples as it is believed to have inherent spiritual qualities. World-renowned fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh shot the black and white advertising campaign for the sent. The striking exposure of Celine´s inner beauty and passion for life are shown in the campaign. The photos truly capture the more intimate, playful side of Celine. The tagline "Belong to the moment" captures Celine´s philosophy of being true to the moment, and belonging to it.
