Atelier Cologne

This handsome shop is the first UK venture for Paris-born Atelier Cologne (it has other branches in Hong Kong, San Fran and New York). As for its wares, the clue's in the name – well, kind of. Because it's not your run-of-the-mill, dad-pleasing sprays you'll find here. This company has devised its own unique fragrance formulation, bringing together the best bits of cologne (lightness and citrus freshness) and perfume (long-lasting, high quality scent). As well as a range of beautiful smells, ranging from the classic to the not-so, you can also shop a range of beautifully-packaged gifts, including soaps tied with luxurious strips of leather and embossed leather fragrance holders, which are things we never knew we needed until now. A scent-sational addition to Covent Garden piazza.
