“The sweet stir of excitement! At the thrill of possibility, butterflies flutter to the surface. More than a chance encounter, a union of two cultures and a moment meant to be. There was a risk, but that is what life is about. The passion of creation! A dream coming true… Five years later, Rendez-Vous celebrates with notes inspired by the pleasure of a lasting encounter.”
It has been almost a year since I had a sneak sniff of Rendez Vous, Atelier Cologne's a Neiman Marcus,Bergdorf Goodman and Atelier Cologne boutiques exclusive. There have been a few mods since I first tested it at their Boreum Hill Brooklyn store and even in its early stages, it was brilliant. Perfumer Jerome Epinette has worked with Sylvie Ganter and Christophe Cervasel; the final version is now ready. If you love Osmanthus, a rendez-vous awaits you.
