These regions such as North Africa, Mediterranean basin, and California, also favor maximizing the Clementine size and quality. However, in regions of high total heat, the Clementine bears fruit early only slightly later than satsuma mandarins. Cultivation Ĭlementines differ from other citrus in having lower heat requirement, which means the tolerance to fruit maturity and sensitivity to unfavorable conditions during the flowering and fruit-setting period is higher.
Clementines resemble other citrus varieties such as the satsuma and tangerines. There are three types of clementines: seedless clementines, clementines (maximum of 10 seeds), and Monreal (more than 10 seeds). Some sources have attributed an earlier origin for the hybrid, pointing to similar fruit native to the provinces of Guangxi and Guangdong in present-day China, but these are likely distinct mandarin hybrids, and genomic analysis of the clementine has shown it to have arisen from a cross between a sweet orange ( Citrus × sinensis) and the Mediterranean willowleaf mandarin ( Citrus × deliciosa), consistent with Algerian origin. The clementine is a spontaneous citrus hybrid that arose in the late 19th century in Misserghin, Algeria, in the garden of the orphanage of the French Missionary Brother Clément Rodier, for whom it would be formally named in 1902. 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.Clementine Mural in Puisserguier France, celebrating Father Abram, founder of the Algerian Misserghin orphanage where the 1st citrus clementina was selected 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.
