Atelier Cologne: Pomelo Paradis Cologne Absolue Vapo (30ml)

Smells like tangerine

My favorite cologne, ever. It is fresh and unisex, and unusual. My husband and I both wear it and I carry the 1oz size with me wherever I go. Pomelo Paradis is neither overpowering nor weak; it is unique and deep, pungent in all the right ways without being woody, sweet, or bitter. Pomelo Paradis is a citrus scent that will ground the wearer to the present.The staying power is excellent given that this is a grapefruit (pomelo) based cologne. That said, because Atelier cologne is so high quality with such a high percentage of essential oils in each cologne, this scent should be avoided by anyone who is medically sensitive to grapefruit lest it interfere with medications.The price on this bottle when I purchased it was excellent. I paid $120 when this cologne retails for $200 from other retailers. I recommend buying Atelier from Amazon rather than other sellers as the discount for other scents is comparable.For those who like this cologne, I suggest also checking out Fresh's Hesperides Grapefruit (more bitter and pungent; does not last as long but also very grounding); Fresh's Sugar Lemon (sweeter; not as long lasting but still very much a lemon and not a cleaner scent); Atelier Cologne's Orange Sanguine (sweeter and longer lasting; still said to be unisex but reads morw female to me) and Atelier Cologne's Cedrat Envirat (a more bitter lemon) and Bergamote Soleil (bergamot heavy; tealike.) You may also enjoy fragrances from the cologne line called Commodity.Lastly I will mention my favorite feature of these unusual fragrances: my clothing does not smell bad aftet a day of wearing them. If I wear something more traditionally feminine like a perfume by YSL or another manufacturer, by the end of the day my clothing, including sweaters and pants, must all be washed. I never have that problem with this cologne or the others I mentioned. That is not to complain about those great scents but to emphasize how well Pomelo Paradis works as an everyday scent.

We got attached to this company while in New York and have stayed put ever since. We love Jo Malone and dyptique but this fragrance seems to wear longer and always provides a compliment. Perfect for men and women so men don’t feel bashful about this purchase- also you can have the little leather carrying cases monogrammed which is a wonderful touch for travel, birthdays and anniversaries.

First off, the seller did a phenomenal job! Product arrived quickly, intact, sealed packaging. The scent itself is initially a big whiff of pomelo skin (yum!) & then the floral notes kick in. I would prefer more of a straight up juicy pomelo but still a nice perfume.

The smell is amazing, but it does not last long. It is pricey a bit for the perfume that does not last that long.

My favorite perfume!! So glad that Amazon sells it

The media could not be loaded. I will say the photo is a bit misleading (only cuz i thought it was bigger) but the description does say that it’s only 30 ml which is the perfect size to throw in your bag and go! I am in love with the scent and i get so many compliments!

love this scent, so fresh sweet smelling scent.People conpliments me about this scents.Wish I could buy a bigger size
