About the brand

Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur is a prestigious French perfume house founded by Patricia de Nicolaï and her husband Jean-Louis Michau. Drawing on Patricia’s experience in the fragrance industry, the brand emphasizes independence and creativity, free from the commercial constraints often found in large perfume houses. Patricia, the sole perfumer, is renowned for her instinct-driven approach, creating scents without relying on consumer testing or short-lived trends.

The brand is deeply rooted in family, with Patricia’s son, Axel Michau de Nicolaï, now managing the business alongside her. All Nicolaï perfumes are exclusively crafted by Patricia in her Paris laboratory, then produced at their factory in the Loire Valley. This in-house production guarantees artisanal quality and close attention to detail, as skilled artisans hand-fill bottles, seal them with wax, and package them with care.

Nicolaï’s dedication to craftsmanship is reflected in the use of both natural and synthetic raw materials, ensuring the brand adapts to what nature offers. The house also prioritizes transparency, showcasing its creative process openly in its Paris shops, allowing customers to witness the artistry behind the scenes.

Recognized for her contributions to perfumery, Patricia de Nicolaï has been honored with numerous accolades, including the French Legion of Honour and serving as President of the Osmothèque perfume museum. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur stands as a symbol of creativity, authenticity, and the preservation of fine fragrance traditions.
