Mimosa Indigo

The most fantastic perfume by Atelier Cologne. Rich and velvety, it's an ambitious and sophisticated Autumnal scent. Quality Leather tanning, powdery Tangerine, purple pistils of Lilac, smoked Sandalwood and a saffron Vanilla. It's a fancy European scent that reminds me of France. Some say they detect milky coconut cream, lavender and almond ? For me, it's rather woody, dark and dimensional. The dry down is intimidating and cabalistic. I prefer this perfume to Tom Ford "Fcking Fabulous" although they're similar. Classified as "Leather" that doesn't do it any justice because it's closer to an "Oriental Floral". Different from the usual and ordinary Mimosa, this one is a transitional and singular fragrance. My husband loves and wears it too, since it's quite masculine. Powerful and empowering, it lasts 9 hours on my skin. If you want to get noticed, and if you can handle it, that's the perfume for you. The signature scent of Thomas Shelby from Peaky Blinders. ❤️ 9/10 ❤️ Hermès copied it 6 years later and named it "Violette Volynka" without any shame.

Lovely woody mimosa with tart and powdery qualities. I can also feel a bit of animalic and leathery osmanthus in here, even though it’s not listed. I think it’s super nice, and it’s more of soft suede scent rather than actual floral one. I will consider purchasing a 30ml bottle. Follow me on IG: scent.guide

What I love about this is that it is such a true leather smell, but it's still totally unisex and can be rocked by a woman. It is very much a cologne in that despite the rugged and rich leather, it is fresh and cool. Slightly fruity, slightly floral, entirely wonderful!

As is the case with most Ateliers I've tried, the only part of Mimosa Indigo that has any power to speak of is the opening. And while that's a plus for the brand's more citrus-focused colognes, where I tend to enjoy the zesty, sparkling openings a lot more than the aromatic drydowns, it's kind of a shame for this one. Not that I have anything against the opening phase, which features a brief flash of lime followed by a nice leather/saffron combination... but to my nose, the magic doesn't really start to happen until the early drydown, when the mimosa note joins the composition - and by then, most of the projection is already gone. That lovely, subtly sweet and even vaguely juicy accord is such a great complement for the leather accord, so it's too bad I have to sniff my wrist in order to enjoy the effect. And then an hour or two later there's nothing left even that close to the skin. This very subtlety can also be an advantage, of course: I'm sure my perfume-hating colleague was very pleased with me today. But except to those working in environments where perfumes aren't officially allowed, or those with enough money to apply lavishly, and then reapply frequently, I don't think I could recommend this one to anyone, however much I like it.

I loved the scent at first but later I found out the performance is bad. I bought it because I loved the scent at the counter but the more I wore it, the more frustration I had for it. It only lasted 3 hours MAX. I had to keep reapplying it thru out the day. Then I started looking for better quality niche fragrances (yea, I don’t like designer fragrances). This started me get addicted to the good fragrances (Initio, Kilian, MFK, Nishane, Frederick Malle, Roja, etc). They hurt my bank but after you tried the Atelier Cologne, you would know how to appreciate these good fragrances. Any of these brands would last double longer on you and most importantly, more unique scents. I thought Atelier Cologne was unique but NO, compare to these brands. Now I only use it as a room scent since I really want to finish the bottle. It smells good but the quality and performance don’t worth the money.
