Clementine california5/29/2023 ![]() Our regenerated fabric also reduces the global warming impact by up to 90% when compared to other materials made from oil. To put it into perspective, for every ton of ECONYL fabric, we save over 65 tons of CO2e (carbon dioxide + carbon dioxide equivalent) from being released into the atmosphere and 70 barrels of crude oil from being used. It has a soft, buttery in-hand feel, and contains the same high-quality, durable attributes as virgin fabric. But unlike virgin fabric, ECONYL can be infinitely recycled to create “new” fabric once again, resulting in a closed-loop regeneration process. This waste is collected, cleaned, then reworked into ECONYL, the recycled fabric we use and love. This waste includes abandoned fishing nets, forgotten garments, and leftover fabric that have been saved from littering our oceans or clogging up landfills. So, at Clementine California, every swimsuit is made from waste that would otherwise be polluting the environment. We had a dream that swimwear could be better. These new fabrics require massive amounts of petroleum and energy while also creating non-biodegradable waste in the process. Unfortunately, most swimwear is made from synthetic, virgin fabric due to its durable, high-performance, and sun & water-resistant qualities. This led us to take our time in finding the highest quality recycled fabric, the best compostable packaging, and an ethical manufacturer who aligns with our mission and values. I am looking forward to recommending this to the next person to send me an e-mail.ĭisclosure: This review was based on a sample provided by Atelier Cologne.When starting Clementine California, our focus was to make the most sustainable swimsuit possible. Epinette adds vetiver for the last bit of green.Ĭlementine California has 8-10 hour longevity and average sillage.įrom the very first moment I smelled Clementine California I believed this is the cologne which can put its arm around your shoulder while you step over the threshold into a different fragrance world. The base is sandalwood and cypress providing a woody alternative to the more commonly used cedar. In the heart star anise and Szechuan pepper provide the spice component which is turned greener by basil. This is the technique he will use throughout by adding a green facet to each accord. The opening is a sun-drenched citrus mix of clementine and mandarin. Only in a few places is there a different twist to that classic cologne recipe which is what makes it a small step towards niche. Epinette uses a very traditional cologne spine of citrus, spice, and woods. What is different is this is, seemingly by design, the most easygoing Atelier Cologne ever. ![]() Clementine California is a sparkling citrus cologne. ![]() Jerome Epinette is once again the perfumer. ![]() Sylvie Ganter-Cervasel and Christophe CervaselĬlementine California is still the Cologne Absolue for which the brand started by Sylvie Ganter-Cervasel and Christophe Cervasel pioneered. One of the reasons I think this will become important is if the recent acquisition by L’Oreal comes with a plan to expand the availability even more Clementine California can become the brand ambassador. I think the most recent release from Atelier Cologne called Clementine California will be that perfume for the brand. What that means is a perfume brand needs a fragrance which acts as a welcome mat to allow a consumer to take a smaller step from the mainstream into a different style of perfumery. Even when I show visitors niche perfumes that is a common refrain, as well. There are some who have replied that they like what they smelled but it was “too strong”. Most of the time I receive a follow-up from those who do see the difference. My answer has been, more often than not, to head to their local mall go to Sephora, and get a sample of Atelier Cologne. Most consumers want to know if they are going to pay more that they personally can tell, and appreciate, the difference between mainstream and niche. One of the difficult things for me is to receive an e-mail from a reader letting me know they want to give this niche perfume world a try but they live outside of the major US cities. If there has been one thing I have done the most over the time I’ve been running Colognoisseur it has been to recommend Atelier Cologne. ![]()
