Cologne absolue
Inspired by the legendary Eau de Cologne, the Cologne Absolue is a new olfactive family created in 2009 by Sylvie Ganter and Christophe Cervasel, Atelier Cologne Creators and Founders. Genuine pure perfume exalting the magical freshness and elegance of citruses with exceptional lasting power thanks to very high concentrations of essential oils. For the first time, citruses are blended with the most precious natural raw materials for perfectly balanced creations and exceptional lasting power. Each Cologne Absolue tells the story of treasured emotions and powerful memories.



Perfumes of character crafted from nature, our Colognes Absolues are composed of up to 95% renewable and ingredients of natural origin. As we have nothing to hide, we are eager to share with you our more detailed formula.
The ingredients in our colognes are essentially water, alcohol, natural and human-made raw materials. Our creations contain no colorants, UV filters, preservatives and no synthetic stabilizers.
To achieve the signature balance of our Maison de Parfum, we add a selection of unexpected notes crafted scientifically. Our goal is to avoid nature over-exploitation and to get rid of ingredients of animal origin. It also enables our perfumers to reveal the unreachable, magnify nature with a touch of modernity, and enlarge the olfactory palette of our creations.
From the sourcing of our ingredients, the humans involved and the manufacturing of our fragrances, Atelier Cologne is absolutely committed to designing more sustainable, creative and authentic Colognes.

In a wild land, nature rewards patience. At dusk, all transforms and a sensorial adventure starts as the noblest and most powerful wood of all is tamed to unveil unexpected suple and radiant facets.
Scent Description
A work of patience to craft a new take on Oud, enlightened by combining opposite ingredients.
The Bergamot from Calabria brings a fresh lightness, giving suppleness and taming the raw and powerful inflections of the oud from Malaysia.
Fusing fresh spicy notes of Pink Pepper from the Indian Ocean facets the oud to patiently reveal its most radiant, noble inflections.

How to conserve your cologne?
Heat, light, and humidity will break down the perfume and lessen its quality.
Instead, store them in cool (non changing temperature), dry spots and away from windows and sunlight.

How to use your perfume?
When you spray perfume in areas directly underneath your nose, your brain gets used to it and gradually doesn’t smell it.
Opt instead for spraying on the arm area which is farther from your nose but where you can always smell it.
