Atelier Cologne Azur: A Citrusy, Fresh, And Vibrant Scent

Atelier Cologne's Azur is a collection of four fragrances: Sud Magnolia, Mandarine Glaciale, Cedre Atlas, and Figuier Ardent. The collection was launched in 2015 to celebrate the brand's fifth anniversary. The fragrances are available in 30 and 100ml flacons.

Citrus and woody notes

Cedre Atlas, Mandarine Glaciale, and Sud Magnolia all feature citrus notes. Cedre Atlas combines lemon, bergamot, and blackcurrant with woody notes of cedar, vetiver, and papyrus. Mandarine Glaciale blends citrus notes of mandarin, lemon, and bergamot with ginger, jasmine, oak moss, and white amber. Sud Magnolia combines bitter orange and pomelo with magnolia, rose, saffron, Atlas cedar, and musk.

Figuier Ardent, the fourth fragrance in the collection, takes a different direction with green and woody notes. It features fig leaf, fig fruit, black pepper, cedar, iris, and tonka bean.

Longevity and projection

In terms of longevity, Atelier Cologne's Azur collection offers a range of options. Some users report that the fragrances in this collection have poor longevity, lasting only a few hours before fading away. On the other hand, others find that the scents last for a significant amount of time, with some even claiming that they can still smell the fragrance on their skin after 12 hours. It is worth noting that longevity can vary depending on individual body chemistry, so it may be worthwhile to test the fragrance on your own skin to determine how long it lasts for you.

When it comes to projection, the Azur collection again presents a mixed bag. Some reviewers describe the projection as mild or soft, while others find it to be strong and radiating. The difference in opinions could be due to varying concentrations of the fragrances or individual body chemistry. It is always a good idea to test a fragrance on your skin to get an accurate sense of its projection.

Overall, the Atelier Cologne Azur collection seems to offer a range of longevity and projection experiences. While some users are impressed by the lasting power and sillage of these fragrances, others are left disappointed. It is always a good idea to test a fragrance before purchasing to ensure that it meets your expectations in terms of longevity and projection.

Unisex appeal

Atelier Cologne's Azur collection is a range of fragrances with a unisex appeal. The collection includes four unisex fragrances: Cedre Atlas, Figuier Ardent, Mandarine Glaciale, and Sud Magnolia.

Cedre Atlas, a woody fragrance, combines citrus notes of lemon, bergamot, and blackcurrant with cedar, jasmine, apricot, white amber, papyrus, and vetiver. It is described as fresh, clean, and invigorating, with a unisex appeal leaning slightly towards the masculine side.

Figuier Ardent is a green-woody fragrance with notes of bergamot, anise, cardamom, fig leaf, fig fruit, black pepper, cedar, iris, and tonka. It has a fresh, salty, green, and aquatic style, reminiscent of a cool Mediterranean breeze, with a more masculine than feminine lean.

Mandarine Glaciale highlights citruses with mandarin, lemon, and bergamot combined with ginger, jasmine, petitgrain, vetiver, oak moss, and white amber. It has a unisex appeal, described as effervescent, icy, and fresh.

Sud Magnolia celebrates the graceful magnolia flower with notes of bitter orange, pomelo, blackcurrant, rose, saffron, Atlas cedar, sandalwood, and musk. It has a citrusy and aquatic theme, with a unisex appeal, leaning slightly towards the masculine side.

The Azur collection by Atelier Cologne offers a range of fragrances with a fresh, clean, and invigorating character, appealing to both men and women.
