Nicolaï Discovery Kit 8 Samples

In 1989, Patricia de Nicolaï dared to found her own perfume house, at a time when creation was still dominated by men.

Born into the Guerlain family, she was denied entry into the dynasty of master perfumers — a painful setback that became the starting point of an extraordinary journey.

With fierce determination and an unwavering passion, Patricia crafts her perfumes in her laboratory near the Palais Royal, creating compositions of rare elegance, celebrated for their complexity and evolution on the skin.

Her path, marked by many honors, is that of a true pioneer: the first woman to receive the International Prize of the Société Française des Parfumeurs, later elevated to Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. Today, she stands among the great figures of contemporary perfumery.
