About Nicolai

Nicolai, also known as Parfums de Nicolai, is a distinguished French fragrance house founded in 1989 by Patricia de Nicolaï, a member of the illustrious Guerlain family. Her heritage endowed her with a deep passion for perfumery, which she pursued with the creation of her own brand, aiming to combine traditional French perfume craftsmanship with modern sensibility. Patricia's vision was to create complex, refined fragrances using high-quality natural ingredients, a philosophy that has guided the brand to this day. Nicolai stands out in the niche perfumery world for its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of perfume making, a legacy of Patricia's ancestor, Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain.

Nicolai's creations are celebrated for their sophistication, depth, and originality, often drawing inspiration from historical themes and Patricia's personal experiences. The brand has a loyal following among perfume connoisseurs who appreciate its dedication to quality and the art of traditional French perfumery. Noteworthy is Patricia de Nicolaï's role as one of the few female master perfumers in the industry, which has contributed significantly to the brand's unique perspective and success. Nicolai's fragrances, such as "New York Intense" and "Patchouli Intense," have received critical acclaim and are regarded as modern classics in the niche fragrance community.
