Emeraude Agar

Emeraude Agar "Collection Metal" FRAGRANCE NOTES (via Atelier Cologne) TOP-Calabrian bergamot, Siberian angelica, Vietnamese black pepper HEART-Egyptian geranium, Turkish rose absolute, Chinese eucalyptus BASE-Malaysian agarwood, Mysore sandalwood, guaiac wood from India *18% fragrance concentration* Full bottle prices (Emeraude Agar) are as follows- 200 ml: $325 USD* ($1.63/ml.) 100 ml: $250 USD ($2.50/ml.) 30 ml: $130 USD ($4.34/ml.) The above prices do seem a bit steep; that is, until you realize all the Metal flacons are plated in beautiful metallic finishes (Agar is yellow gold) and that almost all of the raw materials used in their construction are of the highest quality and sourced from around the globe. On the initial spray, of any Metal or Orient fragrance, it's obvious the luxurious liquid inside truly matches the opulence outside! *The free 30 ml that comes as a gift with any 200 ml. bottle can be any scent (other than the three exclusives) and you get to choose the leather case's color and engravings.* ATELIER'S BEST KEPT SECRET... Upon speaking with a delightful sales associate at the Brooklyn Atelier, I learned that they also offer a boxed set of SIX 30 ml bottles at a substantial savings. These can be purchased in the boutiques and via phone orders. Originale, Matriere and Azur 30 ml set of 6 = $275 US ($70-$85 each for a 30 ml bottle) Metal and Orient Colections 30 ml set of 6 = $450 US ($115-$130 each for a 30 ml bottle) Considering six of the Collection Metal (which now numbers seven scents) could run $735, the asking price of $475 allows you to save $260! That is enough to go out to dinner and a show in NYC...while smelling utterly fabulous. This, to me, seems the way to go: more jus, less money and you have a variety to choose from, and aren't "stuck" with a larger bottle of only one or two. NB: Rendez-Vous (Exclusive line) is not available in the coffret deal and is now sold only in the stores in Paris and NYC. Musc Imperial and Sous le Toit de Paris (the other two exclusives) are available in stores and online in all three sizes (30, 100 & 200 ml); however, I did not ask if these two were available in the coffret offer... I was too busy trying to figure out if I should complete the Metal collection first, or get all five in the fabulous Orient collection and a sixth 30 ml for a gift for me Mum!!

Great point "konchokjenpa", I agree 100%. To my heart there is absolutely nothing on the market that resembles Emeraude Agar. Like any fragrance in your collection you will love EA even more if it comes with a story. I believe every fragrance even more memorable if we remember it from some special occasion of our lives (or any ordinary day become that special after we smell something wonderful). I remember EA from a moment from my past, now and then, every time the sun goes lower, skies get bluer and the air gets crispier I know it's time for the golden fall to come down on us and it's the time I smell EA again. Right after first spray it brings me back to that moment in past I will always remember when I spray EA. Although I wasn't able to find anything else that is similar to this fragrance (so far and why would I really, I am not searching, it is right where it belongs). To be honest Atelier Cologne is one of my favorite fragrance houses, I love their style, I love how they create absolutely stunning fragrances without large sham like other brands do. If you can read past the word "Cologne" in Atelier Cologne brand then you are in for a retreat. Most of people feel this house makes Cologne fragrances which is so far from true but hey it's all fine we all have our similarities and differences, there is enough for all of us.

Fragrance -Emeraude Agar Atelier Cologne Bottle from - 2016 This fragrance reminds me a bit of a beautiful and green enchanted forest.Emeraude Agar is a magical interpretation of oud with a stunning touch of green angelica,eucalyptus and geranium and with hint of rose and pepper laying on top of sandalwood. Longevity - 8/10(8+ hours) Silage/Projection - 7,5/10(moderate projection and silage for the first 2-3 hours) Weather -best in early spring,autumn and winter. Age - 25+ Compliments - 8/10 Scent - 9,5/10 Main notes according to me - oud,rose,eucalyptus,pepper,geranium,sandalwood. The drydown is a bit creamy and more or less the same like the opening and I get some woodiness,green notes and guaiac wood. Emeraude Agar is a little bit linear scent but in a good way. Emotions -green enchanted forest,mysterious,mystical, sophisticated,dark vibe elegance,enigmatic. Occasion -perfect for special occasions and formal and semi-formal events. Try before you buy.

I love this fragrance so much. This is unlike anything else I have in my collection and it is so good! I would characterize this as a fresh, bright oud, aromatic, herbal, green and smokey. It's pretty linear and doesn't change too much as I wear it, though the most intense green notes eventually dissipate and leave a great incense oud skin scent. But the performance is good, and I catch whiffs of it for a least a few hours after spraying. There's something in here that is very earthy and almost coniferous, balsamic. The pepper and geranium are standouts too. Overall a really good, unique composition that I think is bound to please a lot of people, but is still different enough that it doesn't smell generic.

At first I wasn't crazy about this scent but I applied it with some Neutrogena Body Oil straight out of the shower and it was perfect. I'd definitely describe as being woody and even though leather is not noted anywhere, I felt I could smell it. I'm not a fan of anything with pepper or eucalyptus but again this surprised me. It gives off an air of sophistication, which is always a plus. The price is steep but I purchased the Discovery Set and it comes with a $35 voucher so this might be my secret guilty little pleasure. I'm very impressed by the Atelier line and it's my first niche experience!
