Atomica

Atomica from Robert Piguet, released in 2019, is a dry woody fragrance with frankincense, smoke and a modern, radiant base. Everyone who describes it calls it woody, about half also notice resin and amber, and a minority mention spice and musk.

Elemi and ginger give the opening a fresh, lemony, peppery resin and a zesty warmth. Frankincense, also listed as olibanum, rises next with a dry, smoky, ceremonial haze. The base is layered with woods: cedar gives a crisp, pencil-like structure, guaiac wood a smooth, tar-like smokiness, vetiver a grassy, earthy dryness and cypriol a smoky, rooty depth, while amber and musk add a warm, soft glow.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who like dry, smoky woods with a clean, contemporary feel. The profile works for autumn and spring, the office, evenings and smart occasions. Those who enjoy incense and guaiac wood compositions with a ginger-elemi opening and a vetiver base should find it polished and quietly intense.
