Atelier Cologne Emeraude Agar is a Cologne launched in 2016, created by Jérôme Epinette. Atelier Cologne's Emeraude Agar carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent, hailed by some as a unique and sophisticated take on oud, while others dismiss it as an overwhelming, linear disaster. Its green, woody, and subtly spiced profile means you'll either adore its distinctive character or send it straight to the bin.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Emeraude Agar opens with a sharp, green zing from bergamot and eucalyptus, quickly settling into a robust heart of woody notes. Guaiac wood and sandalwood provide a smooth, almost leathery foundation, while a subtle rose and geranium add a touch of floral refinement. Black pepper gives it a dry, spiced edge, and angelica contributes an earthy, herbaceous depth, creating a surprisingly clean and natural-feeling woody aroma.
