The story behind the bottle.
The Excelsior Bouquet by Atkinsons, launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Benoist Lapouza, is a fragrance that seamlessly blends aromatic and earthy notes. The opening with sage and flint sets a crisp and mineral tone, while the heart of spices adds warmth and complexity. Leather and vetiver form a rich base that reads as both modern and lasting. This composition is rooted in Atkinsons' heritage of elegance and sophistication, yet it offers a fresh perspective on classic scents.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points and allow it a moment to settle — the flinty opening is bright but brief, giving way to the richer base notes. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than filling a room, making it perfect for an intimate setting.
