Trefle Pur

After Orange Sanguine and Cédrat Enivrant this is the first scent from Atelier Cologne that's not entirely citrus-focused that I've tried, and I have to say I like this one as well. It's a bit too complex to fall in love head over heel with, as I have with the first two, which are much brighter, but after a couple of wearings I am intrigued by Trèfle Pur; I feel like I'm just beginning to get to know the scent. I agree with princess_butter below me: this fragrance does call the outdoors to mind, and it fits perfectly with the current season of early fall. The opening blast does have a lot of bitter orange, but the citrus plays a supporting role to the bracing vibe of the green, herbal notes even there. I love this phase! Then after just a little while the citrus disappears almost entirely, and the fragrance becomes more and more herbal and mossy, even a little spicy. It's a bit masculine by then, but not too much for me. Wearing this I feel like I'm someone else; someone rich and classy in an unglamourous way, enjoying some time in my country house in the fall, just about to go out for a morning walk through misty fields and woods. I guess I fell for the marketing, because I don't think I would have come up with that image myself if there wasn't a postcard very much along those lines included with my sample (you can see it if you look up Trèfle Pur on the Atelier Cologne website). But the scent does fit that picture very well. My only complaint is the usual one concerning longevity. After a couple of hours there's only a trace of the scent left. I still want at least a decant of this, though; I like imagining myself in that country house!

Yet another, what I like to call, weaponized citrus scents. Put this in the same vein as Xerjoff Nio, Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, and Le Labo Bergamote 22. Being the least expensive and most accessible in this category is great. Being superior to all the other brands by far imo, makes this fragrance even better. As stated this one is a citrus lovers dream. It opens up with an eye burning bright bitter orange/lime/bergamot blast that should remind anyone of a citrus zester going on a massacre. Absolutely incredible, forward, summery, green, bright. As with all of these weaponized citrus scents that opening cannot last. Though in my experience it hangs around stronger and longer. In the heart you get a milder bitter orange without the other citrus notes. The greens start balancing more favorably to the citrus. Base is where all of these citrus bombshells fall flat. I wish I could say Trefle Pur was an exception. It is not. It doesn't completely disappear like Nio does on my skin however it might as well as the base is a sort of mildly musky stale orange peel. Not as off putting as perhaps that description sounds, but not far off. My solution, spray less more often. It's tempting with a frag like this to spray 4-5 times and pray it lasts but spraying twice on initial spray then once every 3 hours or so yields the best result and you will use the same amount. Not the most original fragrance but best in this category and when I smelled it for the first time I knew I had to have it. 8/10

I think that Eau de Cologne isn't supposed to last longer than a couple of hours... It is also aimed to reapply as often as you want and with generous hand - that's the idea. So you simply cannot compare an Eau de Cologne to an Eau de Parfum in terms of parameteres like longevity. Also, it is not supposed to render a superoriginal innovative and complex bouquet - EdC is basically about citrus and freshness, although Atelier Cologne itself managed to work some interesting variations. As an EdC Trefle does its job perfectly. It revigorates you right of the bat with a generous dose of supercrispy citrus notes, it also offers some serenity with its leafy notes, recreating the sitting on a lake shore in the woods feeling. It keeps you fresh, elegant and delicatly smelling for several hours - that's what colognes serve for. Eau de parfum is made to impress on an occasion. Two different stories. People nowadays seem to ignore the perfume decorum that said no perfume before noon. I love Trefle, especially while I'm working it keeps me focused and gives me energy like no other.

very nice, uplifting and airy.. spring time in a bottle ...i like this one alot.. just pleasant, i see it as something I would wear when I was in a great mood or wanted to be. I would wear Trefle Pur especially if i was down in the dumps. Atelier makes some great smelling fragrances. Trefle Pure and Grand Neroli are my two favs right now and i do orange sanguine.This would smell wonderful on a woman as well. Longevity may not be a strong suit but citrus based fragrances on me seldom are so not a major knock in my opinion, I expected it. Atelier is becoming one of my favorite perfume houses' Look forward to the rose fragrance they have, ordered a sample so awaiting on that....some great noses here at Atelier, they know what they are doing. I have gotten a lot of great feedback on Trefle Pur, even from those that do not normally comment on fragrances I try out. . I think for when you just want to smell pleasant to those around you, easily wearable for men. certainly not one to assume is one way or another, just use it, you will not disappoint.

I got a sample with my Orange Sanguine. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do, can't stop breathing it in! It doesn't smell like Eau d'Orange Verte on me. It's much fresher. I find it equal parts citrus to green, making it the only "juicy" green scent I have experienced. This is a good thing as citrus is currently my favorite genre. I'd like to compare it to Chanel Exclusifs Eau De Cologne, as that is a love but beyond my price bracket, whereas Atelier has more approachable pricing. I do struggle a little with Atelier's pricing compared to Guerlain's AA line, and they do aromatic freshies so well - so it's possible to obtain the 'feeling' for less. I wish I didn't like Trefle Pur so much! Unfortunately TP has less longevity on me than my other citrus Ateliers. Gone in 2 hours rather than 6+ of the others. I won't be able to justify a full bottle.

Trefle Pur reminds me of the happiest moments in my life. It's just super delightful.Makes me wanna lie down on a grassland. Atelier has tons of citrusy scents in its collection, but Trefle Pur is a distinctive one.It starts with a pleasantly refreshing bitter orange note, and quickly turns into a mixture of clover+bitter orange, it is grassy...bright...and crystalline, but not sharp at all.As usual, I tested it on both my skin and my clothes, I must admit that it has better performance on my clothes.On my skin it has a strange sour smell(might be the violet leaf?), the smell was lemony but not so harmonious. Nonetheless, it's impeccable.Everybody knows that citrus cannot last long, especially when it's cologne absolue.Hence I believe that we shouldn't complain about this...The fragrance is so simple and innocent.<3 <3 <3 -

Nice fresh citrus-y green cologne. The opening has a mossy herbal bitter orange combo like Hermes' Eau d'Orange Vert, and I can definitely see the resemblance to it which is also a cologne I love. I do find the drydown is a little more herbal and spicy than the more mossy woodsy EOV, but I do still get some mossy woods here too. I wish there could be a bit more oakmoss (common problem for me who discovered my great love for this note and then really got into perfume right after it was largely regulated out), which might help the lasting power a bit, although I actually get good longevity out of this. It does last at least as long as EOV, probably more like the concentree or slightly better, so that's a plus. It is a pretty unisex scent like most Aetlier and Hermes colognes. I'd wear this a lot in the warmer months.

Today’s SOTD for St. Patrick’s holiday, naturally! Gosh I adore this. Spring meadow, 75 degrees with just a light breeze, crystal blue skies and a few wispy cirrus clouds. It’s fresh, but not in that just-out-of-the-shower way that bores me to tears. Transparent and personal because it wears quite close to the skin. Lasts about 3 hours on my skin, maybe 6 on my clothes. It’s vibrant, kelly green, almost glowing. The only thing I’d change is its persistence. The bitterness persists throughout, explaining why some don’t care for the dry down. Construction gives us a true green chypre and lovers of that profile should be very happy to add this to their collection. It’s a deep love for me.

Very nice linear citrus/neroli/green fragrance, with a bit of musk in the base. Performance is below average (as expected with citrus fragrances), but a double application will get you moderate projection for a couple of hours and 4-5 hours of total longevity. Unisex, leaning a (tiny) bit masculine. Is it groundbreaking/unique? Definitley not. But it's probably one of the best citrus/neroli fragrance I bumped into, and the supoort of basil gives it an original twist. I already have several fragrances that do the same job, but given the current ebay pricing, I really think that it could be the greatest choice (in a decent pricing range). Good job AC! Warmer days, 20+

When I was young, my mom used to have this big cleaning day in spring and one of the things she'd do was to boil white clothes/towels with tad bit of clorox. The kitchen area would smell steamy clean, with fresh spring breeze and bright transparent sunlight coming from the open windows. I adored everything about that scene and this perfume is reminiscent of it. Gives me so much comfort. Definitely moist and warm. P.S. Also, fresh steam towel you get on the high-quality airline flights. But in a more perfume appropriate way. I love how that towels smell and feel (I guess I love steamy clean smell lol) so this is a love for me.

wake me up, orange! Such a delight. Wonderful, juicy and fresh orange. I can't help, Trefle Pur brings memories of summer and vacations. This is sunshine in a bottle, sorry the cliché. Surprisingly the orange note stays strong for longer than I would have expected. Then some green notes join the composition, probably the violet leaf and for sure the clover. It feels clean all the way. PS:I said many times that I was not going to waste my money on colognes, and yet Atelier Cologne offer some incredible and hard to resist fragrances. I own Bois Blonds, I have Orange Sanguine in sight and Trefle Pur is next!

I loved this when I first sprayed it on, and am still loving it 4 hours later. It opens with a big blast of orange and green notes, then goes a bit spicy and grassy (clover?) and has a beautiful mossy drydown with just the right amount of patchouli. It gives me an image of coming out of an orange grove and finding yourself in a meadow with woods just beyond it. Eau d'Orange Vert has always been my favorite for this type of fragrance, but this is a serious contender! Longevity and sillage are both on the low side - about 4 hours on me, but that's the ONLY thing I don't like about this one.

Trefle pur reminds me of a fresh spring or summer sunny and happy day. First I can smell bergamot that makes me feel vigorous. Then a soft note of cardamon comes to my noise which for me is a traditional signature of persian sweets. Then it takes me to the vast green high mountain fields with fresh air. At the end I see myself seating under a citrus tree smelling the wet grass and earth around me. For me it is a vital and earthy fragrance that stays fresh with me all day long in a modest and unassuming way.

I really love this one in the spring and summer. It's bright and bitter at first, but settles into a lovely woody green drydown. The comparisons to Eau d'Orange Vert are certainly apt - but this one gets the nod because it is both sunnier and more complex. On the down side, projection and longevity are both below average. You almost have to bathe in this stuff to get noticed. That said, the 200 ml bottles will allow for that. I've had my bottle for almost 2 years and it's still half full...

Nice! Trefle Pur is the most complex scent of all the Ateliers that I've tried. What a nice balance of sweet and spicy. I like the combination of notes much the same way that I do in Bond's Lexington Ave., although here in TP, it's sweet and spicy without being gourmand, and slightly herbal which LA is not. I think I could inhale this all day long. I do believe Trefle Pur has knocked my 1st place Atelier favorite - Orange Sangine into 2nd place.

A beautiful, bright and breezy bitter orange scent laced with moss and grass. I originally bought the perfume for myself and almost choked out a friend in a meeting room after 4 sprays. The clover and moss base turns a bit too masculine for me to wear. Since then I've gifted it to my boyfriend and he wears it so much better. It's a well-groomed clean scent with just a bit more underneath. I can smell him all day long ;) Fits all seasons!

Summer, summer, summer, this is what Trefle Pur reminds me of. It is the main reason why I love the Atelier line so much. I love citrus based colognes and this one did not disappoint me. The bitter orange mixes in with the spiciness and it is true bliss. Perfect for spring and summer days. It makes me feel very happy.

This scent is a beautiful green uplifting fragrance. Very well blended, safe, versatile perfect for spring and summer. Longevity is average but sillage is very good since I received a lot of compliment from my entourage when I was wearing it. Just spray it on clothes if you want it too last more than 4 hours.

I absolutely love Trefle Pur, a juicy green eau de cologne with no sweetness, but plenty of uniqueness. The longevity of this "cologne absolu" is decent (about the same as a strong EdT), but I think this formula would benefit with more oakmoss – sadly probably not possible due to EU restrictions.

Refreshing citrus meadow. Unfortunately not very long-lasting. I got a compliment on this randomly from a blonde woman on the street about 20 minutes after I put it on.
