Orange Sanguine by Atelier Cologne was launched in 2011, crafted by perfumer Ralf Schwieger. This fragrance opens with the vibrant brightness of blood orange and bitter orange, creating a dynamic contrast against the warm spiciness of Madagascar pepper and African geranium. The heart blossoms into Egyptian jasmine before settling into a woody base of sandalwood, amber, tonka bean, and Texas cedar. This composition is not just a scent but an experience of contrasts — sharp and sweet, fresh and spicy.

Orange Sanguine projects well due to its citrus and spicy top notes. Apply one or two sprays in the morning for a scent that evolves throughout the day, starting bright and ending with rich woodiness.
Ralf Schwieger
Founding perfumer · 32 fragrances
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.
