The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Tulipe Noire by Atkinsons was launched in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin. This floral woody musk fragrance opens with a bright burst of rhubarb and bergamot, creating an unexpected freshness that contrasts with the rich, velvety heart of tuberose and jasmine. The base notes of ambroxan, musk, cedar, and sandalwood anchor this composition in warmth and depth, making it feel both contemporary and lasting. Tulipe Noire is a study in duality, marrying crispness with opulence and floral intensity with woody comfort.

How to wear it

Apply Tulipe Noire to pulse points for a steady warmth that builds throughout the day. The rhubarb top note is fleeting, so don't hesitate — a few sprays will allow the rich base to shine through. It's best worn in cooler weather when its depth can truly be appreciated.
