THE NICOLAÏ PERFUMERY BRAND

 A direct descendant of Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, founder of the house of Guerlain, which was bought by a luxury group in 1994, Patricia de Nicolaï and her husband Jean-Louis Michau created their own perfume brand. In November 1989, Patricia Nicolaï, one of the first women to work as a nose-creator, launched her own business. Her first boutique opened in Paris, the birthplace of perfumes and fine fragrances.  All the perfumes are created by Patricia de Nicolaï, in a laboratory that visitors to the boutique can see. Patricia wanted to show what goes on behind the scenes, how luxury is created and brought to life.

Her love of the profession dates back to 81, when she graduated from ISIPCA in Versailles (Institut Supérieur International du Parfum de la Cosmétique et de l'Aromatique Alimentaire). She was also elected President of the OSMOTHEQUE, the International Perfume Museum and Conservatory located in Versailles, on the campus of the famous ISIPCA perfume school.  Among the very first perfumes she created was New-York, her signature fragrance, considered to be one of the best olfactory creations in history.

In 2007, she was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur by the French President, as the woman perfumer who created her own perfume house.
