Intense Eau de Parfum

What is an Intense Eau de Parfum?

An Intense Eau de Parfum refers to a higher concentration than a classic eau de parfum. A greater share of aromatic compounds, and therefore a more immediate presence from the first application, a more tenacious trail, and a longer evolution on the skin, where the essences reveal themselves one after another over the hours.

At Nicolaï, it is the most accomplished expression of our craft: the concentration that reveals the full richness of the raw materials in all their depth and signs the most memorable trails of the Maison.

The heart of Maison Nicolaï

This collection forms the foundation of the house and brings together its most emblematic creations, those that have stood the test of time and embody the Nicolaï identity all on their own.

The Intense Eau de Parfum Patchouli magnifies this exceptional material in an oriental, woody setting. Ambre Cashmere wraps the skin in an amber, powdery softness, while Bois Bélize pays tribute to precious woods and the smoky tea of faraway forests.

The Intense Eau de Parfum Baïkal Leather unfurls a refined leather, at once powerful and delicate, while New York Intense captures the vibrant energy of the city in a deeper, intensified rendition.

Each a scent of assertive character, and as many ways into the world of French haute parfumerie.

Unisex Eau de Parfum, for women and men

At Nicolaï, a fragrance is not chosen by gender, but by affinity. Every Intense Eau de Parfum is unisex, worn just as easily by women as by men, composed to come alive on the skin rather than to follow a convention.

In this spirit, Patricia de Nicolaï signs niche creations that extend a mood and assert a personality, in the purest tradition of exceptional perfumery.

Finding the intensity that suits you

The Intense Eau de Parfum is the richest of our concentrations, but it is not the only one. For every moment and every mood, there is a matching intensity, and a trail that is yours alone.

Our Eau de toilette strikes a lighter, more airy balance, between freshness, delicacy, and character, while our Eau Fraîche plays on brightness and the lightness of the opening hours. Brighter still, our Cologne unfolds vivid, invigorating accords, while our Perfume Extract distills the most precious expression of our art.

The luxury of substance in an Eau de Parfum Intense

What sets a Nicolaï Eau de Parfum Intense apart comes down to a rare standard. Every formula is created entirely in-house by Patricia de Nicolaï, the first woman perfumer to found her own house, in our laboratory at the Palais-Royal.

The raw materials rank among the finest in the world of perfumery: chosen without compromise, they are often used in overdose for the sheer beauty of the accord. Each bottle is then assembled by hand in France, finished with a gold thread and a wax seal, with the discretion and care of an artisanal gesture.

It is this consistency, from creation to production, that makes every Intense Eau de Parfum a truly exceptional object: a luxury perfume in the most demanding sense, carried by the heritage of seven generations of perfumers and the freedom of an independent house.
