Atelier Cologne Clementine California x Quentin Monge Review

I think many of us have accepted our fate and due to the current world circumstances, travel abroad may well be off the table. As such you may be looking for products to enhance a Summer spent at home and in my opinion, the easiest way to do this is via the medium of fragrance. For full affect, look for a bright, juicy, zesty and citrus scent that if you close your eyes tightly enough, whilst wearing it, you can be transported to sunnier and dare I say more exotic locations. A girl can but dream and recently my tropical fantasies have been scented by Atelier Cologne Clementine California.

As it stands, Atelier Cologne Clementine California is in the midst of its first ever limited edition collaboration with French artist, Quentin Monge. For the coming weeks you’ll be able to snap up a beautiful gift set that features not one but two bottles of Clementine California, as well as a leather case to pop the smaller bottle in and of course, the most beautiful gift box. The larger bottle of Clementine California, the box and the case are all decked out in striking, almost art-deco style illustrations which have been inspired by a warm, sun-soaked day in California. You can also purchase the limited edition 100ml bottle of Atelier Cologne Clementine California individually.

Now that we’ve established that the limited edition packaging of Atelier Cologne Clementine California is something to behold, what about the juice inside? I can gladly report it is nothing short of sun-soaked days in a bottle. A glorious, uplifting, bright, citrus scent that is wonderfully unisex and long-wearing too.

As you’ve likely guessed the lead note, is indeed Clementine and that is paired with ripe, sweet Juniper berries and the almost earthy-waft of Vetiver. It’s sharp, it’s bold, it's crisp, it’s wonderfully fresh-come-sensual and perhaps most importantly, it is a constant reminder than sunny days are ahead (even if we can’t currently see them) in many aspects. For those not looking forward to Autumn, this is the scent to keep the very last trails of Summer close by your side, well into October and beyond.
