Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

Find the Original
Atelier Cologne Emeraude Agar is the benchmark for this scent profile. Alternatives may be worth comparing, but they are independent products and we do not present them as equivalent to Atelier Cologne's own fragrance.
They do not replace the original fragrance, its presentation, or the version created under the brand's own quality control. If that is what you are looking for, search the official site or trusted retailers below.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Emeraude Agar is a woody, spicy rose fragrance from Atelier Cologne released in 2016 and created by Jérôme Epinette for women and men. At its core it is a wood-led composition where guaiac wood and sandalwood form a warm base while eucalyptus and angelica add a green, slightly camphorous lift; black pepper and geranium provide spicy brightness and Turkish rose threads a floral, powdery facet. The main accords are woody, fresh spicy, rose, aromatic and powdery, which makes the scent distinct and somewhat polarizing. With a 4.09/5 average across 301 votes and roughly half of voters calling it unisex, 36% of voters picked fall, underlining its cool-season appeal.
Our take
I enjoy Emeraude Agar for its bold green-wood character. The eucalyptus and angelica give it a sharp edge that makes the rose and guaiac wood stand out in cold weather. On my skin the scent reads unique but performance is mixed, it often lasts only moderately long, though some people find it longer lasting. The community split and the 4.09 rating feel right: many love it for its personality, but the medicinal, camphorous facet will turn others away.

The Bottle
Atelier Cologne’s Emeraude Agar bottle uses a tall rectangular silhouette with rounded corners, a pale yellow-gold body, and a dark teal-green label with fine concentric lines. A tall burgundy-red cap adds a third colour. The shape is conventional, yet this three-colour combination makes the bottle more distinctive than routine.
Original or Clone
Jérôme Epinette’s authorship gives Emeraude Agar a reason to buy the original: a named perfumer stands behind this woody, fresh-spicy, rose-tinged composition, rather than a generic note list. The bottle strengthens that case, since its gold, dark green and burgundy presentation is unusually considered for a conventional silhouette. Two houses have made interpretations, confirming that this particular style has attracted attention. The original therefore has the clearer claim, while an interpretation remains a reasonable choice for readers who do not need that authorship or object.
