New York Intense – Eau de Parfum

Nicolaï – the Paris perfume house founded in 1989 by Patricia de Nicolaï, a descendant of the Guerlain family, and still family-run today.

New York Intense is spicy, aromatic and classically elegant. Petitgrain, bergamot, lemon, thyme and artemisia open fresh and herbal, black pepper, clove, cinnamon, lavender and chamomile sit at the heart, before oakmoss, tonka bean, styrax, incense and musk settle into a warm, softly smoky base.

New York Intense is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening. A unisex fragrance for dinners, the theatre and big occasions – and a signature scent for anyone who loves the classics.

What makes New York Intense special to us: Patricia de Nicolaï took inspiration from the energy of New York and built a fragrance that could hardly be more classic – bergamot, black pepper, oakmoss. The Intense version gives that structure more depth and more staying power without losing any of its elegance. A tailored suit among fragrances.
