Blue Madeleine EDP 100ml

A fragrance inspired by Proust’s madeleine and the power of olfactory memory, Blue Madeleine is a nostalgic yet refined treat. 

“My dear Madeleine, many times have I heard these stories, and never once have we tired of them. You forged and filled my imagination. I now have, thanks to you, my great theatre of memories, in which fantastic fables worthy of Jules Verne endlessly re-enact. You have surrounded me with all your attentions and are in all my happy memories. I owe my first olfactory memories to you: rhubarb tart, Auton pear jam, egg cream and all the other desserts I’ve patiently prepared alongside you. This Blue Madeleine fragrance is for you.” – Perfumer, Marie Salamagne.

Blue Madeleine distils a certain comforting sweetness. A delicate touch of spice awakens the senses, leading to an infusion of floral notes and smoky black tea. As the fragrance unfolds, soft woods envelop the composition, like a velvety memory. A refined, nostalgic treat.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Atelier Des Ors (meaning “The Workshop of Gold” in French) was founded in 2015 by Jean-Philippe Clermont. Throughout his career in fashion and luxury goods distribution, Jean-Philippe has always been an admirer and patron of the arts in all of her forms. Particularly interested in the fusion of disciplines, he fully embraces the spirit of Gesamtkunstwerk, that total work of art in which music, architecture, painting and staging respond to and enrich each other. While Jean-Philippe’s sources of inspiration are manifold and rooted in a hybrid, eclectic background and culture, they all converge on a quest for beauty and elegance as an art of living.
The use of gold, both as a source of inspiration and in the actual juice of the fragrances (each of the Atelier Des Ors scents has 24 carat gold flakes floating in them like perfumed stardust!) is a very intentional creative one that goes beyond luxury for luxury’s sake. For Jean-Phillipe, the union of perfume and gold was an obvious one: perfume melts into the skin like a sensual veil, and gold adorns the skin as jewellery. The process of goldsmithing and perfumery are both a kind of alchemy: starting with a rare, sublime and fascinating material, and by using exceptional and meticulous know-how, transforming it into a precious new substance.
Based in Grasse, France (the perfume capital of the world), to Atelier Des Ors, upholding French savoir-faire and commitment to artistry is paramount. They have a “slow” approach to perfumery, a philosophy that infuses each creation with the patience, expertise and meticulous craftsmanship essential to excellence. Their fragrances invite you to embrace the beauty of this state of mind, where time and quality are valued like gold, respected for their preciousness and rarity.
