Discover the last creation of Atelier Cologne and its Agrumes Ensoleillés collection, the Lemon Island!

Following our trip to Cologne, in the birth place of this illustrious water… We couldn’t miss the success story of Atelier Cologne, launched in 2006 from an encounter in New York between two perfume passionates. As real smell-trotters, Sylvie Ganter and Christophe Cervasel wished to develop Eaux de Colognes with more facets and personality than what can one find and even more sustainable, like a perfume extract. This goal could be reached through a unique formula filled with an average oil concentration of 18% (photo credits: Laura Pont & Atelier Cologne).

After several years of intense research, their common dream may have come true and was completed with more inspiration thanks to many travels all around the World, in order to discover new ingredients and different cultures. From these numerous brainstormings and explorations, Atelier Cologne imagined their first family of original perfumes, baptized Cologne Absolue. Inside this community, we can count on the Agrumes Ensoleillés section promoting and magnifying a concentrate of summer citrus fruits specific to different regions of the World, while revealing their joyful energies, their freshness and their regenerating virtues. Thus, we proudly introduce you here this happy tribe and its last baby, the fresh Lemon Island. By Alexis Lery

In this case, the Agrumes Ensoleillés collection, imagined by Atelier Cologne, is a concentrate of the multiple summer citrus fruits as real emblems from different regions of the World. This series is regularly completed by new jewels, whose last issue is Lemon Island. Available from the January 28th, 2021 and able to awaken your senses with its new gourmet and nearly hypnotic personality (photo credits: Atelier Cologne).

Enriched with the bright salty notes of the yummy Rodrigues lemon, a local pride cultivated by the Rodriguans on their island close to Mauritius. For your information, this lime switches from green until yellow, while retaining the native aromatic qualities of lime, so to say a biting acidity, iodized and very lively facets. These fancy assets are here exacerbated by ingredients, sourced from the same Indian Ocean region, such as warm Indian jasmine and a smooth Madagascan vanilla infusion.

Indeed, for the first time, the Rodrigues lemon, an island hidden somewhere in the heart of the Indian Ocean, is revealed to the world in a precious fragrance, whose fresh wake would generously display, in just one spray, a genuine sun-infused fragrance, not far from Paradise.

For this new creation, Atelier Cologne has joined forces with the family-owned Mane perfume house, located in Grasse, to develop a strong local supply and extraction chain that supports the local economy of this Rodrigues Island. At some point, this model leads to a fair trade structure employing nearly 260 local citrus farmers, located on this volcanic territory, also known as the Cinderella of the Mascareignes. Once again, following the wish of its founders, Sylvie Ganter and Christophe Cervasel, this Atelier Cologne adventure is committed to employ as concentrated as possible premium and natural essential oils, that’s why here this hitherto untapped lemon juice contains 92% of ingredients from natural origin and even Solidarity Sourcing certificated. This solidarity purchasing program, initiated by L’Oréal in 2010, contributes to the employment support for economically vulnerable populations, throughout the World.
