Maharadjah – Diffuser

Nicolaï – the Paris perfume house of Guerlain descendant Patricia de Nicolaï, which launched Maharadjah as one of the very first home fragrance lines back in 1990.

Maharadjah is warm, spicy and a little exotic. Lavender opens aromatically, patchouli sits at the heart, with precious spices and a soft musk beneath. The diffuser holds 250 ml of fragrance, comes with bamboo reeds and is hand-filled in France.

The diffuser spreads the scent through the reeds without any flame – the number of reeds decides how strongly Maharadjah fills the room.

What makes Maharadjah special to us: it has been the house's signature scent for more than 35 years, and as a diffuser it may be at its most beautiful – a room that always smells a little of Paris and a little of a spice market.
