To celebrate Cloon Keen Atelier's 10th Anniversary this month filmmaker Kamil Krawczak has created a series of short films which explore the lives of the craftsmen behind the brand.

The first short Every Fragrance Tells A Story introduces Mary Mundy, Cloon Keen Atelier's Perfume Technician. She's an artist's muse, a Morris Minor lover and makes great scones!

We are launching our first perfume today, Bataille de Fleurs, exclusively in our Kirwans Lane boutique. It is named after a very old carnival in the South of France and it's theme is the sunny mimosa flower.

Royal Visit

It has been a very exiting couple of weeks in Ireland and a very busy few weeks at Cloon Keen Atelier. This is because a month (or so) ago we were invited to make a bespoke collection of lotions, soaps, diffusers and toiletries for Dublin Castle. These were to be used for the private suites at the State Banquet on May 18th. We are so relieved that it all came together and are very grateful to all of those that helped us for this very special occasion.

We are also getting ready for the launch of our new perfume (used to fragrance the Dublin Castle collection) which will be coming out very, very soon.

Breathtaking beauty on Galway Bay last Sunday. Salthill came alive with spectators watching the An Tóstal festival. It was the first time this traditional Irish festival has been celebrated for 50 years.
