Atelier Cologne
A new and noteworthy cologne has hit Bergdorf's and Neiman's called Atelier Cologne. Honestly I have not had the chance to try any of the Atelier concoctions but an article in W Magazine peeked my interest. Atelier Cologne creator Sylvie Ganter, having experience at Fresh beauty brand and Hermes fragrance sales division, wanted a line of eaux de colognes with the personal detail and precision she had observed while working at Hermes.
Ganter explains while eau de colognes smell fresh they don't last. But Atelier Colognes are colognes absolues which are still fresh but very long lasting with more personality kick.
Containing higher concentrations of essential oils than the standard eaux de cologne, prices range from $145 to $175. The Bois Blonds blend containing 20% neroli (a very expensive oil) makes it the pricest. Assuming the scents live up to their name the price sounds quite reasonable for a seemingly personalized cologne with the staying power of a parfume.
Here are the fragrance descriptions:
Atelier Cologne:

The master perfumers of Atelier Cologne blend unexpected and rare extracts with signature fresh citruses to create Colognes Absolues, concentrated formulas with distinctive and long-lasting sillage.
