About This Perfume

Nicolai Parfumeur Createur Patchouli Sublime smells like smoky patchouli incense, green herbs, leathery warmth. It opens with peppermint, lavender and coriander, moves into incense, geranium and rose and settles on patchouli, amber and musk. It reads unisex.

This fragrance is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits nights out. Released in 2017.

Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for nights out.
  • Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
  • Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.

Around $323.

For Nicolai New York Intense (Eau de Parfum, 2014), expect zesty lemon tea with thyme, spicy and woody: lemon and bergamot up top, oakmoss, musk and styrax underneath. Nicolai Patchouli Intense (Eau de Parfum, 2009) comes across as earthy patchouli with lavender, rose and cinnamon warmth, with lavender and orange absolute at the start and patchouli, musk and amber at the base. Nicolai Fig Tea (Eau de Parfum, 2007) reads as sunny jasmine tea, minty citrus and soft woods, opening on osmanthus and orange oil and drying down to mate, guaiac wood and amber.
