Citron d'Érable Atelier Cologne 2016

I admit that I like a lot of fragrances from Atelier Cologne. I was all the more delighted when the Bon Voyage collection was finally available from us (a distributor from Austria had probably secured 2 years of exclusive distribution in Austria before that).
I find all the fragrances in the collection very successful, but I have a special relationship with Citron d'Érable in particular. The scent immediately reminded me of the sweet lemon candies my father had in his car for many years in a tin can. I think they were fruit candies from Kalfany - and often, when I was travelling with my father in the car as a "little plug", I asked him if I could take one of his fruit candies. As simple as it was, it was something very special for me and I still associate it with him today, although he hasn't been with us for some time.
The fragrance is fruity-sweet for me, but not so sugary that it would be unwearable for a man. The durability is, as usual from Atelier Cologne, quite remarkable for a citrus fragrance. And besides its sweet freshness, it has something warm and enveloping at the same time. For me - apart from my personal memory - an absolute feel-good scent, although I don't necessarily want to wear it every day.
