Atelier de Ors PINK ME UP by Olya Bar
If you have ever indulged in champagne, you know the sweet taste of pleasure that first fizzy sip has to offer. A fragrance created out of an appetite for life and festivities, Atelier Des Ors PINK ME UP is a joyous bubble of delicious pleasure swirling in a crystal glass.
Atelier des Ors PINK ME UP and NOIR BY NIGHT are the two latest creations in the Frivolité collection, signed by Marie Salamagne of Firmenich, the perfumer for the house. Life without little frivolities wouldn’t be as pleasurable, wouldn’t you agree? Hence the collection’s name—a salute to effusive emotions and Art de Vivre. Atelier des Ors PINK ME UP is one delectable cocktail of fruits and florals, the addictive pétillant of the drink known worldwide to symbolize a celebration. This propensity to revel in pleasure has been a part of the heart and soul of French culture, beauty and bonheur for centuries. The history of Champagne began when the Romans planted vineyards in this region of northeast France in the 5th century, or possibly earlier. Over centuries, Champagne evolved from a pale, pinkish still wine to a sparkling wine and the alcoholic drink of choice for celebratory toasts, to mark the New Year and christen ships.

The sense of playfulness and fun in PINK ME UP is also a nod to the spirit and hedonism of Les Années Folles, or “crazy years,” in France during the 1920s. The term was coined to describe the rich social, artistic, and cultural collaborations of the era. Here in the USA the decade is known as Roaring Twenties or the Jazz Age; it was also the years of Prohibition when the government banned the sale and import of alcoholic beverages.
Atelier des Ors PINK ME UP by Olya Bar
The idea to create Atelier des Ors PINK ME UP was in response to the past few years of stagnation and uncertainty worldwide; there was a true craving for something playful and light-hearted, hence PINK ME UP was beginning to macerate. The zestiness of bergamot in the opening quickly gives way to the delicate aroma of orange flower petals. The true beauty of this fragrance lies at heart, a distinct champagne ingredient that makes it unique. It was created in partnership with the Firmenich laboratory in Grasse, using NaturePrint® technology. As any champagne lover can attest, a flute or two of this golden elixir and life suddenly seems much brighter, as if you suddenly put on a pair of pink sunglasses. Atelier des Ors PINK ME UP achieves precisely that feeling; after a hefty spritz, everything seems juicier and happier. I credit it to the uplifting succulent blend of the rose centifolia and its deep, slightly spicy, and rich, honeyed aroma. The importance of this ingredient is close to heart for Atelier des Ors, sourced from the rose fields at the Domaine du Clos Notre Dame, owned by Alain Rebuffel and his family. It is truly a special treat to visit the fields to inhale the wonderful fragrance of the flowers and to witness the harvesting of the petals. Rose Centifolia is the center ingredient of their most recognized perfumes and one of my favorites, Rose Omeyyade. The rose note is seamlessly blended with blackberry and soft iris accords to intensify its ripe facet creating the overall sense of Rosé champagne. There is a touch of warm fluffy musk and patchouli, grounding the composition and bringing it to the perfect balance. As the world is awakening and lifting itself back up after the past few years of the unknown, we all have a lot to celebrate, so let us raise a glass to that.

Spritz Atelier des Ors PINK ME UP and plunge into the bubbly pleasures of life as if it were a bathtub filled with champagne. Is it ridiculous, shamefully fun, or just decadent? Probably all three, but one thing we learned over the past few years is not to hold back.
