Atelier Cologne samples

I requested samples from Atelier Cologne after receiving the Vanille Insensee from a previous Birchbox and they were nice enough to send me quite a few! Each sample vial was beautifully packaged with an exquisite postcard and an envelope.

Grand Néroli, a romantic ingénue, wraps elegant orange blossom flower around layers of clean herbal notes, warm musks and addictive vanilla. 

Trèfle Pur, a landscape of vitality, surrounds violet leaves in green woods, freshly cut grass and dewy earth. 

Orange Sanguine, a zesty and energizing burst of crushed ripe fruit, plays off sweet blood orange juice against bitter orange peel and sensual notes of geranium. 

Rose Anonyme, a breathtaking seductress caught in a stolen affair between light and dark, Turkish Rose Absolute sparkles and intrigues beneath notes of spicy Ginger, enwrapped in sultry veil of Velvet Oud, Indonesian Patchouli, mystic Papyrus and Somalian Incense. 

Vétiver Fatal, a secret agent captures a dangerous encounter between bright and mysterious, as Heart of Hatian Vetiver and Tunisian Orange Flower Absolute surrenders to seductive Violet Leaves, smoky Texas Cedarwood and dark Oud. 

Green mandarine and bergamot surround the warmth of Amber with Sri Lankan cinnamon and orchid nigritella rubra. 

Oolang Infini, a full-bodied, mysterious concoction, captures blue tea and bergamot in the warmth of smoke and leather. 

Bois Blonds, a sophisticated yet mischievous elixir, entwines unique and precious woods and incense with sensual orange flower and vetiver.
