  You showered me with lullabies… Bergamote Soleil begins with a bitter sweetness, a blend of bergamot and orange that evokes happiness, as if the perfume wished to console you on a difficult day. In the transition, I detect the lavender and a touch of spices, very subtle and well-balanced. As it dries, it delivers a pleasant earthiness, presumably from the vetiver and oakmoss. Without any grand pretensions, it fits perfectly in the office and intermediate seasons, with that extra touch of naturalness we have come to expect. Its performance is medium/high, with good sillage and over six hours of longevity, making it ideal for work. In the end, I will never tire of answering: What perfume are you wearing? Atelier… Atelier Cologne.

  Atelier Cologne’s Bergamote Soleil delivers a citrus scent so realistic it feels like a fresh, fizzy drink that rejuvenates you and makes your heart race. It outshines Ermenegildo Zegna’s ACQUA DI BERGAMOTTO and Tom Ford’s VENETIAN BERGAMOT. No wonder it takes sixth place among the brand’s top ten: 10th Gold Leather, 9th Poivre Electrique, 8th Vanille Insensée, 7th Cedrat Enivrant, 6th Bergamote Soleil, 5th Musc Impérial, 4th Philtre Ceylan, 3rd Rose Anonyme, 2nd Santal Carmin and 1st Café Tuberosa. CLÉMENTINE CALIFORNIA and ORANGE SANGUINE deserve special mention for their hyper-realism.

  Little bergamot and lots of countryside. Or few citrus notes and plenty of aromatic ones. If the name is a mistake, it is this one: it opens with a soft, comfortable green citrus, then turns into orange, cardamom, lavender and vetiver. There is bergamot, but not that bitter, raspy and wet masculine version I like from green gels; here it is soft, like an infusion, and fades into the background like a watercolour. Within minutes it reminds me of Declaration by Cartier, that classic of love and hate. They share bitter orange, vetiver and cardamom, plus jasmine, oakmoss and amber. It seems like a sporty, transparent version of Declaration. As it dries, it becomes a blend between fougère and aromatic, thanks to the oakmoss, lavender and that raw herb-like vetiver. It is a decent cologne, with echoes of Declaration and L’Eau Boisée by Guerlain, and at first recalls that sweet bergamot from Zara Home by Morillas, which is no longer available. I did not like it for those gelatinous notes, but Atelier Cologne has quality and naturalness, challenging Acqua di Parma, which seems to be dropping in quality lately. PS: It is sold as unisex, but to me it smells like a man’s scent. Normal sillage, medium longevity.

  Little bergamot, lots of countryside. Few citrus notes, plenty of aromatic. If the name is a mistake, it’s this one: it opens with a soft, comfortable green citrus, then shifts into orange, cardamom, lavender and vetiver. There is bergamot, but not that bitter, scratchy, wet kind I love—the masculine version found in green gels; here it’s infusion-like, fading into the background like a watercolour. Within minutes it reminds me of Cartier’s Declaration, that classic of love and hate. They share bitter orange, vetiver and cardamom, plus jasmine, moss and amber. It feels like a sporty, transparent take on Declaration. As it dries, it becomes a blend between fougère and aromatic, thanks to the oakmoss, lavender and that raw-grass vetiver. It’s a decent cologne, echoing Declaration and Guerlain’s L’Eau Boisée, and at first it recalls that sweet bergamot from Zara Home by Morillas, which is no longer available. I didn’t like it for those gelatinous notes, but Atelier Cologne has quality and naturalness; it’s challenging Acqua di Parma for the top spot, which seems to be slipping in quality lately. PS: It’s sold as unisex, but to me it smells like a man’s scent. Normal trail, average longevity.

  Right, it smells good. At first, it reminds me of ADP Assoluta with that bitter orange and bergamot blend, along with that typical fresh, slightly pungent note. You can tell it’s quality and it really wakes you up. After half an hour, the ambrette comes through, giving it a slightly murky, musky touch, but then it dries down to a sweet, balsamic amber with the citrus lingering. I’ve worn it for many hours; the projection isn’t amazing, but the quality-to-price ratio is good.
