Patricia de Nicolaï comes from the Guerlain family — great-granddaughter of Pierre Guerlain, niece of Jean-Paul. Rather than stay inside the great family house, in 1989 she founded her own in Paris: Nicolaï, where she signs and sells her perfumes herself — one of the very few houses created, and still led, by a woman perfumer. As president of the Osmothèque, the scent archive in Versailles, she also guards the memory of French perfumery. Her scents — New York, Patchouli Intense, Fig-Tea — are classic and yet entirely her own. Made in France.
