Alpha • Omega is L’ATELIERO’s new fragrance for 2026: a warm, spicy Extrait de Parfum that makes continuity, change, and quiet presence on the skin feel tangible. The Beginning. The End. And Again.
Some fragrances feel like a moment. Others like a chapter. Alpha • Omega is more like a cycle. A perfume that doesn’t just aim to smell good, but captures something everyone knows: the passage between a beginning and an ending, and the quiet in-between where everything is decided.
When L’ATELIERO began working on a new fragrance for 2026, it wasn’t a note that came first, but a question: What does continuity smell like? What does a scent smell like when it evolves without losing its identity? A fragrance that doesn’t need to be loud to be present.
“We wanted to create something that doesn’t react to trends, but to feelings,” Aurelia says. “Not that quick wow that disappears after ten minutes, but something that stays because it moves with you.”
Rudi adds: “The name Alpha • Omega was there early on, because it describes exactly what a scent does on the skin. It begins, it changes, it fades out, and the moment you wear it again, it starts all over.”
Alpha • Omega wasn’t designed as a classic fragrance pyramid, but like a story: with a clear opening, a calm core, and an echo that lingers for a long time. Only once that dramaturgy was in place did the search begin for the right accords.
The opening was meant to create tension, without feeling sharp. Warm, spicy, elegant. This is where the first step of the composition took shape: bergamot as light, pepper as impulse, clove for spice, and saffron for that golden depth you can’t immediately explain, but instantly feel.
“Saffron was one of those moments,” Aurelia says. “It doesn’t do anything loud, but it changes everything. Suddenly the spice feels more refined. Rounder. More precious.”
The second part was the most challenging: the heart. Because Alpha • Omega’s heart was never meant to be romantic-floral, but calm, elegant, almost effortless. That’s why the choice fell on jasmine, geranium, and ylang-ylang. Floral notes, yes, but not as a sweet leading role. Rather as a soft depth that carries the spice and gives the scent its quiet confidence.
“We wanted you to feel better wearing it, without it pushing itself to the foreground,” Rudi says. “It’s that kind of impact you don’t always hear as a compliment, but you feel it.”
If Alpha • Omega has a core, it lives in the base. Because the ending wasn’t meant to be a classic drydown that simply disappears at some point. It was meant to be a finish that lingers like a memory.
That’s how the base came together: vanilla, amber, labdanum, woods, and musk. Warm, soft, sensual, long-lasting. The vanilla brings no sticky sweetness, but a calm softness. Amber and labdanum add depth and that golden shadow that makes the fragrance feel grown-up. Woods give structure, and musk binds everything into a signature that stays on the skin.
“We worked for a long time to make sure the base doesn’t dominate,” Aurelia says. “It should carry, like a coat, not like a statement piece that takes everything from you.”
Rudi adds: “And that’s exactly how this effect happens: the scent ends quietly, but it doesn’t disappear. You still have it. And the next time you wear it, it begins again.”

Alpha • Omega is a fragrance about continuity. About change. About the certainty that every beginning is part of a larger cycle. It accompanies rather than overwhelms. It impacts rather than shouts.
It begins spicy and warm, becomes soft and elegant at the heart, and ends in a sensual, long-lasting signature. And every time you wear it again, the journey starts over from the beginning.
The Beginning. The End. And Again.
