Composition of the fragrance:
The opening notes of Calabrian bergamot bring a fresh, sparkling accent that instantly brightens the composition and makes way for warmer notes. This light, citrusy radiance is gradually interwoven with natural frankincense from East Africa, whose woody, spicy character has an earthy, warm and naturally spiritual quality. In the dry-down, Spanish labdanum unfolds, emphasising the amber-like and fiery aspects of the incense and softening them into a warm, rounded quality reminiscent of the resinous notes of benzoin. The composition thus creates a fragrance that transitions seamlessly from freshness to depth, leaving a long-lasting, sensual trail.

Story of the fragrance:
This fragrance is an ode to frankincense. An ingredient that has been part of human civilisation for thousands of years and symbolises purity, spirituality and a connection to inner wisdom. The inspiration came from a snow-capped mountain, where the smoke rising from a fire transforms into a light, almost ethereal veil. The frankincense used in Atelier Cologne’s Cologne Rare Encens Céleste Eau de Parfum comes from East Africa and is only harvested after many decades of ageing. Extraction using supercritical CO₂ at low temperatures preserves its most exquisite woody, spicy and warm nuances.
