About
Mimosa Indigo by Atelier Cologne is a Leather fragrance for women and men. Mimosa Indigo was launched in 2016. Top notes are Saffron, Tangerine and Bergamot; middle notes are Leather, Mimosa and Lilac; base notes are Sandalwood, Vanilla and Musk. As a result of numerous trips taken by the founders and Creators, Sylvie Ganter and Christophe Cervasel, to Asia and Middle East, they have created five new Colognes Absolue, all of which are a part of Atelier Cologne newest collection, Collection Orient inspired by the region’s natural beauty, people and customs, and particularly the most precious raw materials. The beauty and refinement of these carefully selected raw materials illustrate treasured emotions and powerful memories, source of inspiration for the creators. Atelier Cologne’s iconic flacon has been reinvented for Collection Orient. The glass is colored white reflecting modernity and purity. The golden caps pay tribute to the preciousness of the ingredients carefully selected to create each Cologne Absolue. For the composition of Mimosa Indigo indigo mimosa from India was selected as key ingredient, enveloped by sensual chord of white leather, providing luxurious and sophisticated character. Citruses and saffron develop a fine fresh veil, while sandalwood, vanilla and musk provide for softness and creamy base. Fragrances of the collection ATELIER COLOGNE COLLECTION ORIENT are available as 30, 100 and 200ml Cologne Absolue (20% vol), as well as in gift sets. Flacons of 30ml are ‘dressed’ in leather case.
