I'm not sure if you know, but I love fresh citrus scents. During warmer months I love using spicy, oriental scents and during warmer months I'm more into fresh scents.
And because I wanted to try something new, something less mainstream I picked a new product to try from Notino.
Atelier Cologne is a luxury perfume brand that offers several interesting scents. The ones that have caught my attention are Clementine California, Pomelo Paradis and Pacific Lime.
But because I still had a budget to follow, I picked just one. The one that sounded the most interesting of them all - Atelier Cologne Clémentine California.
Atelier Cologne Clémentine California
A unisex perfume. Made in France.92% natural origin ingredients.This is the perfect moment to explore fruity and sweet scents from Italy, Turkey and Haiti. A wonderful blend of natural fragrances that will make your imagination travel towards exotic countries and a windless summer day.
I picked the 10ml size which was still pretty expensive - 29€. But after all, this is a luxury brand.
A full size (100ml) costs 120€. Wow!
With its sunny composition built around Clementine scents from Italy, Atelier Cologne Clémentine California created by Atelier Cologne is the ideal summer perfume but can also be a subtle reminder of warm days during winter. Sweet smelling notes of juniper berries from Turkey and Vetiver from Haiti also make this unisex fragrance a must for those who want to be the centre of olfactory attention. After all, there is nothing more sensual than a delicate summer scent in a room.
Top notes:
Clementine, Mandarin Orange and juniper berry;
Middle notes:
Basil, Star Anise and Pepper;
Base notes:
Cypress, Haitian Vetiver and Sandalwood.
My experience:
I first must say that I've used 3/4 of my 10ml bottle. But even so, I feel like it lasts a long time. One spray is more than enough for a whole day experience.
I apply it in the morning before I leave for work and I can still smell it after a couple of hours on my clothes. The biggest downside is that it doesn't last a long time on my skin. I feel that is a problem with most fresh, citrus scents.
It starts as a very strong lime scent that is accompanied with something a bit tangly - that's probably the juniper berry. It's not sweet but it feels like an adult version of a citrus scent. Fresh and a bit strong.
For me, it is a very special scent as it's different from all the others I have. It feels more herbal, like the beginning of summer. It is a refreshingly grown-up scent.
I am also a fan that it's unisex. If my man would wear something like this, that would be super delicious! Actually, I may gift him one of these. :D
My verdcit:
I love it. It's fresh, it's different and it's very green with a tad of something heavier. It goes from super citrusy to a heavier base. It feels well thought and I truly enjoy it.
