Eau de Parfum Bois Bélize Intense, 30ml

Nicolaï produces entirely in France; its alcohol is 99.9% natural, from French sugar beet, the perfumes contain no added preservatives or colorants, the glass is about half recycled, and the candles are made wholly from EU components.

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.
