Clémentine California

To pay tribute to this heritage, Atelier Cologne therefore devotes itself exclusively to creating modern Eaux de Cologne. The house has just announced the upcoming release of a fragrance named Clémentine California. It will make its appearance at the beginning of 2017.

The new fragrance from Atelier Cologne

Clémentine California is described as a fresh and fruity fragrance. It is both green and light, as refreshing and gentle as the Eaux de Cologne of old. As its name suggests, it highlights the presence of clementine. In this sense, it is a sun-kissed fragrance inspired by the warm weather and high summer temperatures of California. It offers a genuine olfactory journey. In other words, it is a fragrance of adventure. It takes us more precisely into the middle of a large citrus plantation in America. To do so, it opens with a burst of zesty, citrus freshness based on mandarin and clementine. These are two very closely related fruits, distinguished by the fact that the clementine has no seeds, unlike its cousin. These two citrus fruits are paired here with the freshness of juniper berries. These pave the way for a spicier heart. This one revolves around Sichuan pepper and star anise. Thus, Clémentine California is a unisex fragrance that does not lack impertinence and character. Basil, for its part, gives it a more aromatic aspect. Finally, Clémentine California gradually warms up and gains in masculinity in its sillage. This one contains Haitian vetiver, cypress and sandalwood.

Clémentine California, an essence synonymous with love

Beyond paying tribute to Eaux de Cologne, Clémentine California also nods to the origins of Atelier Cologne. Indeed, this house was born from a love story between Christophe Cervasel, a native of Toulouse, and Sylvie Ganter, a French-Italian woman living in New York. It was in this city that the two lovers met for the first time in 2006. From this was born a genuine passionate love story. Together, they then had the idea of founding a company specializing in Eaux de Cologne. For them, it was a way of restoring these fragrances of old to their former glory. They also took to associating each of their fragrances with a love story. Clémentine California is that of a young man traveling in Los Angeles. There, he caught a fleeting glimpse of a girl. From then on, he could not stop thinking about her. So he set out on his quest for several months. Though unknown to him, she was impossible to forget. This woman had an elegant and delicate silhouette, embodying the perfect incarnation of natural, fresh beauty. This is precisely what one finds in the scent of the Clémentine California fragrance. However, make no mistake, it is indeed a unisex fragrance.
