Atelier Cologne launched Ambre Nue in 2012, a fragrance that balances the richness of amber and the warmth of spicy notes with bright citrus elements. The composition opens with mandarin orange and bergamot, creating a vibrant freshness that contrasts beautifully with the balsamic and woody undertones provided by benzoin, cinnamon, French labdanum, and patchouli. This blend is further enhanced by sweet vanilla and tonka bean, adding depth and complexity to the overall scent.

Application Tips
For best results, apply Ambre Nue to pulse points. The initial burst of citrus fades quickly, making way for the rich amber and spicy notes that develop over time. This fragrance is particularly suited for cooler weather when its warmth and depth can truly shine.

Ralf Schwieger once took part in a perfume contest that Frédéric Malle had staged for young perfumers. Frédéric sampled their perfumes one by one, blindfolded, until he reached Ralph’s sketch of what was to become Lipstick Rose, and Ralf was chosen to join Editions de Parfums. Having spent his childhood in Germany exploring forests and absorbing all of their unusual smells, Ralf is prone to creating perfumes with unexpected personalities. He describes his attitude to perfume making as a game in two parts, whose first is intellectual or conceptual, and whose second is a lengthier one of sensory research. His perfumes, as a result, are both cerebral and intuitive.
