Founded in 2009 by fragrance industry veterans Sylvie Ganter and Christophe Cervasel (who married in 2014),[3] Atelier Cologne was originally based in Paris and New York.
[4] Atelier Cologne has worked with perfumers Jérôme Epinette, Ralf Schwieger and Cecile Hua (Grand Néroli).
[5] L'Oréal acquired the company in 2016,[6] part of a broader trend of multinational groups buying niche fragrance lines and putting them into wider distribution.
[4] Though the line expanded to include other styles, like florals,[6] Atelier remains best known for unisex citrus scents like Orange Sanguine,[8] Pomelo Paradis,[9] and Pacific Lime.
[10] In addition to perfume, Atelier also makes matching scented body products (shower gels, soaps, lotions) and candles.
