Opening and evolution

Atelier opens immediately dense and sweet, with nutmeg at high intensity. The nutmeg reads warm and herbal rather than gourmand. It gives a rounded aromatic spice that feels soothing and familiar, not edible.

Almost at once, a fresh woody effect appears. This comes from a tea extract used in very high dose. It does not smell like a cup of tea. Instead, it creates a clean, dry, slightly green woodiness that cuts through the sweetness and keeps the amber structure alive. If you enjoy deep sweet naturals such as benzoin, labdanum, or immortelle, this interplay between sweetness and dryness will feel deliberate and satisfying.

As it settles, the amber core expands. Labdanum becomes darker and more resinous, with a balsamic tone that can recall propolis. The drydown remains rich and enveloping. Amber, nutmeg, and woody freshness stay interlocked, supported by cedarwood and musk. On clothing, the scent can last for days and sometimes even weeks.

The story

The core of Atelier is a powerful amber built on vanillin and a dark, high quality labdanum. The labdanum is thick and resinous, adding a balsamic depth that can read as propolis. This is what gives the perfume its protective, almost cocoon like character. It is not a transparent amber. It is material, textured, and present.

Nutmeg is used very generously and directed toward its herbal side. It avoids sharpness and avoids turning into bakery sweetness. Instead, it reinforces warmth and aromatic depth. The tea extract is the structural counterweight. Used far beyond a decorative level, it functions as a woody fresh beam inside the composition. It introduces dryness, lift, and a subtle green edge that prevents the amber from collapsing into heaviness.

Cedarwood strengthens this backbone with a dry pencil like clarity. Musk smooths the composition and increases its grip on skin and fabric, which explains the exceptional longevity at 22 percent concentration.

Atelier is about the act of making. Linseed oil, fresh pine, and paper are references to the studio environment, not as literal smells but as textural ideas translated into materials. Warm, honest, and focused, it is made for those who value raw materials and the quiet intensity of creative work in motion.
