atelier cologne rose anonyme review

Pictured: Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue

Atelier Cologne is one of my favorite fragrance companies; and when it comes to florals, rose is hands-down my favorite floral fragrance note. So, when I spotted Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme, I knew it had to be my new rose-based scent!

Like all Atelier Cologne fragrances, Rose Anonyme is so fresh, it seems as if the fragrance was created and mixed together the same day you spray it on your wrist. No other fragrance company smells this fresh! The perfume concentrate is 18%, which is the reason Rose Anonyme by Atelier Cologne is so luxurious. This concentrate is extremely high for the industry, and allows the fragrance to be long lasting, fresh, and offer a true, complex fragrance experience.

Top notes: Bergamot from Calabria, Ginger from China, Turkish Rose Essence

Middle Notes: Turkish Rose Absolue, Incense from Somalia, Velvet Oud Accord

Base notes: Patchouli rom Indonesia, Papyrus from India, Benzoin from Laos

Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme starts off with a ginger laced scent. After about thirty minutes, the ginger softens and the rose cycles through a soft yet exotic fragrance experience. The patchouli in the base adds a soft yet spicy undertone, which is nothing short of exquisite.

I am in love with Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue, and cannot wait to wear it often. The overall fragrance experience is ideal in warm, hot, and moderate weather. Since the scent is medium, it can be worn in tight quarters such as the office or theater. The complex nature of the scent allows it to be worn for formal events, yet the rose heart, gives the scent daytime appeal. This makes Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Cologne Absolue the perfect day-into-evening scent; especially on a summer day!

Christian Louboutin’s Scarabee, limited edition, nail polish collection, offers luxurious and unique colors with warm, golden undertones. The collection includes Voilet Blue, Green Bronze, and Nude Pink Gold.

Christian Louboutin Nude Pink Gold nail polish is a fabulous color for the summer months. The mixture of pink and gold within the polish creates an unusual neutral, which is anything but basic; and everything fabulous. Love it!

Christian Louboutin Nude Pink Gold nail polish offers a shimmering medium pink hue with vibrant golden undertones. The pink and gold play off of each other, creating a color change polish which looks different inside, and outside. Love that!

I tested out Christian Louboutin Nude Pink Gold nail polish with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. The nail polish is incredibly long lasting. It took eight days to chip! Now THAT, is fabulous 😉

Christian Louboutin’s new Scarabee nail polish collection features three new colors, including Violet Blue,  which are perfect for summer. Christian Louboutin took his inspiration for this collection from the scarab beetle from Egyptian iconography. The colors reflect in the sun, and look like jewels in the evening. Love that!

Voilet Blue from Christian Louboutin’s Scarabee collection offers an exotic bluish-green hue with warm, golden undertones. The undertones reflect in the sun, and offer a golden-blue sheen which is unique, and ideal for a warm summer day. Love that!

I tested out Christian Louboutin Voilet Blue nail polish from the Scarabee collection with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. The nail polish was very strong and lasted seven days before chipping. Now that I have a few Christian Louboutin nail polish bottles in my collection, I have become accustomed to the long wand applicator brush. Although it is not the easiest nail polish brush to work with, it does a great job applying an even coat of nail polish without creating a mess. Love that!

I am looking forward to testing out another color from Christian Louboutin’s Scarabee nail polish collection. The nail polish is limited edition, and with these fabulous colors, it will sell out fast! I have noticed Christian Louboutin’s nail polish has a good shelf life, and it can go months without being used and still be in perfect condition. This is key when in investing in designer nail polish. I feel good spending money on Christian Louboutin nail polish because I know it is long lasting on my nails, and on my shelf! 

Now, I feel like I need a Cleopatra inspired ensemble to match my Christian Louboutin Scarabee Voilet Blue nail polish. After all, Ra has been blessing us with sun, so why not dress accordingly to celebrate! I might have to start with these shoes, and go from there 😉
