El Mar Atlántico

Atlántico: The Inspiration Behind The Name 

Atlantic: From the Greek "Atlantikôi pelágei," meaning "The Sea of Atlas." 

Atlántico is Spanish for "Atlantic."

Atlántico is the flagship of the RHR Luxury brand. The first scent we developed, Atlántico, set the standards and embodies the spirit of all the formulas that followed. Daring and powerful yet with a sensual undertone, it inhabits dwellings, exuding a powerful duality. Opening with delicate notes of Jasmine grandiflorum absolute, it quickly reveals an exotic heart of Jacarandá flowers and Neroli.

Timeless, aromatic, fresh, and clean, and technically classified as a marine fougère with floral aspects, Atlántico is inspired by the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean at sunset.

The Atlantic Ocean was once the waterway of discovery. Upon landing, the European Adelantados had to conquer the mighty Atlantic Rainforest, a rich ecosystem created and sustained by the winds and moisture of the Mar Atlántico.

This rainforest varies dramatically from North to South, sometimes gently, sometimes abruptly. It forms one of the largest living organisms on the planet. And it is rich in aromatic inspiration no matter the latitude. 

Atlántico scent evokes a walk on the beach at sunset, where the ocean meets the rainforests, when green, aromatic, and floral accords permeate the air, perfuming the invigorating scent of the Ocean.

The Fragrance Composition

Atlántico has beautiful materials of pure and natural origin (P&N). We created a Luxury Scented Candle, a Luxury Crystal Diffuser, and a Luxury Room Spray with it.

The Atlántico scent combines aromatic treasures from beyond the Levant and the Mediterranean basin with the freshness of extractions mastered in the Americas from endemic and naturalized species. Masterfully combining the exotic with the familiar, notes of lavender, fir needle, and petitgrain are complemented by cedarwood, vetiver, and ambergris. The fruity and herbal accents of Cape chamomile and blue chamomile essential oils lend the wax in the candle a faint blue coloration due to the presence of azulene, a terpene with calming properties, creating the ultimate botanical luxury candle. 

I created Atlántico as the first fragrance of my collections. I have it all over my home, and my guests marvel at how they can detect its floral aspects at first but then evolve into the marine, citrus fresh, and mossy undertones of the whole composition. It is a seasonless, genderless, fragrant concoction that instantly evokes the seashore.
