I love a fragrance that captures a mood or a story and Atelier Cologne does just that!
Rose Anonyme is a story of romance, danger and mystery. “A breathtaking seductress caught in a stolen affair between light and dark” describes this fragrance quite perfectly. This is an uplifting rose fragrance where dark notes of patchouli and mysterious oud play against fresh light notes of bergamot, ginger and Turkish rose, making this a sweet, but not too overpowering floral scent. From a bright citric opening, this cologne settles down to a sensual and perfectly balanced velvety rose-oud-vanilla scent. At 18% concentration, Rose Anonyme lasts much longer than your average perfume. One or two spritzes is enough for all day and all night.
I am not one who pays very close attention to notes. For me, a fragrance is more about being transported and how a fragrance makes me feel when I wear it. And although I am not a big fan of rose fragrances, Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme has seduced me. The more I wear it the more I am intrigued by its depth and dark complexity. Try it for yourself and create your own story.
“She turned the dial until the safe opened, revealing the diamond.
She had stolen jewels before, but none compared with this one. She left a single rose and the scent of her perfume in its place for him to find. In a moment she’d be halfway around the world and he would be in pursuit. The chase began again…”
