Nicolaï - Number One Intense – Eau de Parfum

Nicolaï NUMBER ONE INTENSE Eau de Parfum

White flowers, timeless elegance, an award-winning creation

NUMBER ONE INTENSE by Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur is a radiant ode to the classic floral perfumes of the 1980s – elegant, confident and rich in sensuality. Created in 1988 by Patricia de Nicolaï, this Eau de Parfum became a milestone in perfumery history, earning her the prestigious International Prize for Best Perfumer that very year – as the first woman to receive it.

At the heart of this iconic creation lies an opulent bouquet of white blossoms: tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and orange blossom unfurl their hypnotic facets, enveloped in a delicate shimmer of aldehydes. These notes are not gentle whispers – they sing in full voice, bold yet refined, capturing the spirit of a time when fragrances were unapologetically grand.

A trail of seduction wrapped in white petals

The white floral accord is not just a decorative flourish, but the very soul of the fragrance. Tuberose, known for its creamy, narcotic character, plays the lead role, softened by the powdery depth of orris and uplifted by the radiant sparkle of citrus notes in the opening. This heady heart slowly melts into a sensual base, where sandalwood, musk, and a hint of civet create an intimate, skin-like warmth that lingers for hours.

The perfume evolves like a love letter from the past – romantic, complex, unforgettable. Its composition demands attention, but rewards it with nuance and sophistication. It’s a perfume that doesn’t follow trends – it sets its own rhythm.

Patricia de Nicolaï – A pioneer of olfactory artistry

As founder of Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur, Patricia de Nicolaï has long been celebrated for her dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and independence. A descendant of the Guerlain dynasty, she chose her own path, creating fragrances that balance French tradition with daring originality. NUMBER ONE INTENSE reflects her unique voice – a perfume that embraces both power and poetry.

This is not a scent for everyone. It’s a fragrance for those who admire the depth of white florals, the richness of vintage accords, and the timeless allure of a truly distinctive signature. For those who wear their fragrance like a second skin – boldly, proudly, with passion.
