When was Aube Rubis by Atelier des Ors released?
Aube Rubis by Atelier des Ors was released in 2015.
So this is the first fragrance I've tried from this brand. I wasn't sure of their legitimacy to be honest, I'd seen many (what I assumed to be free) bottle flying around on social media among the influencers and bottle begging shites who know little about the craft but seem to offer up their expertise anyway. (sorry, I'm supposed to be reviewing this) Anyway, another off putting bit was the tendency to vagazzle the bottles with gold leaf, something I associate with vodka for tween girls or a special Christmas, Gin liquor bottle, which lights up and looks like a snow globe, such is all the golden debris floating in flacon of Atelier des Ors. Something gaudy to appeal to the middle eastern market, says luxury to them but tacky to me and a big turn off. However, this brand has earned some kudos by some respected voices saying they are worth checking out, and by not being another throwaway, transient, pop up. I have to admire the aesthetic and creativity of the brand, gold leaf and all, having tried 5 of the collection here and being impressed by all of them, in one way or another. Aube rubis then is an immediately fruity and immediately patchouli forward fragrance, it's clever in being full bodied but not quite giving up all it's secrets right away, it's reminiscent of a FM Monsieur or that Bois 1920 one, real smacks in the face of patchouli but this has a mildly softer, more graduated edge. I get that the fruity note in the opening is listed as blackcurrant here, and I see there being a 'twang' to this, I often say it is similar to saffron and comes from the earth of patchouli, but blends into fruity notes well too, could be cassis that is conspiring here to make an interesting effect. A gourmand, edibility (says praline here) I can't help feeling is not your typical chocolate association sometimes gotten from patchouli. So I'm saying all this is familiar in tone, but in truth this is bold but still wearable and has it's own little trick up it's sleeve. As it dries down I get more labdanum and resins in combination with that patch but still sweet and toppy sense of something 'fruity'. I like it, I think it's well made, has enough to keep me interested, has goldilocks zone patchouli which will satisfy the purist without alienating the more timid perfume fan. All in all a good introduction to the brand for me.
