The Brand
Atelier Cologne
Atelier Cologne is the Paris niche house founded on the cologne absolue concept, a higher-concentration reinterpretation of the traditional citrus cologne. Scendira carries 38 Atelier Cologne perfumes; the lowest is about $55 and the highest about $252. For a starting point, people most often bring up Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine, Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensée and Atelier Cologne Clémentine California.
Inside the three picks
Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine (Cologne, 2011) opens with Italian blood orange and Spanish bitter orange and ends on Australian sandalwood, Brazilian tonka bean and Texas cedar; overall it reads as bright blood orange with peppery floral woods. For Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensée (2011), expect sweet vanilla cream with smoky citrus zest: Italian citron and Russian coriander up top, Bourbon vanilla, amber and English oak underneath. Atelier Cologne Clémentine California (Eau de Cologne, 2016) comes across as sunlit citrus with green herb spice, with clementine and mandarin orange at the start and cypress, Haitian vetiver and sandalwood at the base.
