Perfume Gift

To give a perfume is to give far more than a scent

Giving a perfume is never trivial. A fragrance stays with the person who wears it long after the day of the gift: it extends a mood, revives a memory, says something words cannot always reach. It is perhaps the most personal of presents, provided it is chosen with care. To give a perfume is to pass on a work, that of Maison Nicolaï, an independent house that composes each creation as an object in its own right. What remains is to find, among our fragrances, the one that will resemble the person you are giving it to.

Which perfume to give, for him or for her?

A perfume gift is chosen less by gender than by taste. Since every Nicolaï fragrance is unisex, it can be given just as easily to a man as to a woman: let the recipient’s olfactory temperament guide you, their way of being, the trails that resemble them. For someone whose tastes remain a mystery, a perfume gift set brings together several creations to discover and settles any hesitation. To each their own scent, with no convention imposed.

A fragrance gift for every budget

Giving haute parfumerie does not call for an unlimited budget. Our fragrances open from the 30 ml format, an accessible way into the Maison’s world, while the 100 ml stands as the gift of reference. For a lighter gesture, the twelve-sample discovery set invites the recipient to explore the catalogue before choosing, and the gift card lets them elect their own creation. Beyond perfume, our home gift ideas widen the choice further, from candles to diffusers.

A perfume gift for every occasion

Some occasions call for a perfume more than any other gift. At Christmas, a fragrance slipped under the tree extends the magic well beyond the holidays. For Mother’s Day, a perfume says care and tenderness better than a bouquet. Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, or a birthday are all reasons to give a creation that leaves a lasting impression. At every milestone of the year, a perfume gift makes an obvious present.

Which concentration to give?

Depending on the person, you will also choose the intensity of the trail. Our Intense Eau de Parfum sit at the heart of the Maison and leave the most lasting trails, while our Eau de toilette strike a more airy balance. Our Eau Fraîche play on the brightness of the opening hours, our Cologne on vivid, invigorating accords, and our Perfume Extract distill the most precious expression of our art. For every recipient, there is a matching concentration.

To give a perfume is to give a luxury of substance

To give a Nicolaï perfume is to give far more than an object: a part of the savoir-faire of a creative house. Every formula is created entirely in-house by Patricia de Nicolaï, in our laboratory at the Palais-Royal, in Paris, from raw materials that rank among the finest in the world of perfumery, often used in overdose for the sheer beauty of the accord. A present that does not fade, carried by the heritage of seven generations of perfumers. That is the very meaning of an exceptional gift: to give true luxury fragrances, whose value owes nothing to decoration and everything to substance.
