This is lovely. As a rule of thumb, I'm typically not very fond of anything that's fruity or has a rose note in it's orchestra of notes. I saw the description of this perfume at Luckyscent and...

So far, the only Nicolai scent that really struck me has been Vie de Chateau. I tested New York but I couldn't find anything interesting in it, despite the very complex pyramid that I found...

Maharanih opens up with intoxicatingly rich notes of orange flower, sandalword, amber and perhaps a wee bit of pepper. Its drydown is measured as one would expect from a well-made perfume and the...

The only word I can think of to describe Cedrat is "MADDENING". It is maddening because during the first 10 minutes on my skin, it has an ethereal, warm, citrus flower loveliness and if I could...

I really wanted to like Eau d'Ete . From all that I have read about Patricia Nicolai by Luca Turin and perfume writers, she is well respected as a talented perfumer. I am also very partial to...

I was drawn to try this fragrance by the name alone, it's really, really beautiful. The notes list was highly intriguing to me too, promising the smell of fresh cut herbs, yet the components are...

This orangey-jasminey-spicy fragrance must have been conceived as a crowd-pleaser, but it's not my favourite Nicolai scent and I can't appreciate it much. It gets a bit too sharp, almost acrid, on...

I got a generous decant from a lovely swapper very recently; I was intrigued to try Balle de Match after reading its notes: I like green, refreshing and citrus scents for summer.

Eau Turquoise is the first fragrance I had the opportunity to try from Parfums de Nicolaï; I understand it is also their latest creation (spring 2008) among the Eaux Fraiches line.

I admit there are very few fragrances that make me swoon at first smell, but this is one of them: in one word, perfect. I'd call it a spicy flowery, but there are many notes in its pyramid:

Loved this one by Nicolai, one of my favorite perfume houses. It is an HG summer fragrance for me. It goes on clean and cool, with the citrus/woody fig lingering on me the entire day. I love...

Very strong lavendar, and the spices mixing with it (cloves on me) are just gross.

I've been on a PdN binge, and with the recent 25% discount on BH, I took full advantage. I definitely wanted one of the eaus for summer, but hadn't tried any of them, so was flying somewhat blind...

classic aramis for men done softer: a lovely, leathery chypre in the drydown (this is where it is like aramis). the top and middle are a bit fruity, a tad sweet, rather green and herbal, and very...

My first whiff of Vie de Chateau immediately conjured up associations of Edmond Roudnitska's masterpieces "Parfume de Therese" and "Diorama". It has the same classic perfume style as these fellow...

Lemon ... all I got was lemon to start, lemon in the middle, and lemon all the way to the end. A nice lemon, but I was expecting vetiver.

Balle de Match starts off with a zesty, vibrant top note of grapefuit that is exciting and entrancing. Normally I don't care for the bitterness of grapefruit but this seemed different for some...

I'll be honest. When I smelled Sologne's top note, I immediately had it pegged as an expensive version as 4711. It has very much the same smell, ie. the same bracing citrusy top note and smelt like...

I just posted on the fragrance board -this smells like purple to me, haha. Actually, amethyst was what I got :P I won't go into the notes in this review as I'm sure many previous reviewers have...

I'll be honest-I don't like tuberose. I read the description of this on BH and thought I might like it. Thankfully I only got a sample because I had to wash it off immediately. One of the most...
