Atelier Cologne

Pomelo Paradis is grapefruit with sugar piled on top. It truly smells like citrus and not "perfume-like" at all, which I have found to be true for everything I've tried by Aterlier Cologne. It does not project much or last long, but it's a bright, fun scent for an hour or two after spraying. Great as a sample but not worth purchasing a bottle.

Still my number one go to! I loved it from the first time I received a sample a few years ago, It's not a sweet, gourmand smelling vanilla scent. It offers the best of both worlds; a sophisticated for evening scent, yet fresh scent for daytime. I actually layered the Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensee with the Atelier rose cologne for my wedding day! Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensee is probably my favourite scent right now.

I liked the way this smelled in the bottle and sprayed on a tester strip, but it does not work with my skin chemistry. The slight hint of maple disappeared and was replaced with Perry Ellis 360! Normally I love Atelier scents, but there are a couple that smell awful on me and a couple that are just meh. This is one of the meh ones, verging on unpleasant on my skin.
