Atelier Cologne will be launching two new Cologne Absolues created by Master Perfumer Jérome Epinette of Robertet in October 2012. As in Vanille Insensee and Ambre Nue (by Ralf Schwieger of Mane), the Company explores raw materials typically not associated with classic colognes- Rose and Vetiver (each composition include an oud note). Personally, I always look forward to their press releases as each fragrance is accompanied by intriguing visual imagery and vignettes for each fragrance. – Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief
