Macaron Bourbon is an exquisite olfactory creation, celebrating sensuality and sophistication.

From the very first scent, Macaron Bourbon charms with a gourmand note of bitter almond, enriched by a syrupy facet of rum and softened by caramel, whose suave, comforting sweetness envelops the skin in a veil of delight.

Cinnamon and clove intertwine to offer a spicy warmth, reminiscent of the bewitching aromas of a freshly baked pastry. The davana, with its sweet and slightly tart nuances, adds a refined, fruity dimension.

Macaron Bourbon also reveals an intoxicating blend of patchouli, vanilla and Tonka beans, creating a velvety, addictive texture. This sweet yet powerful combination is enhanced by the subtle presence of rose, which adds an elegant, refined floral touch, perfectly balancing the luscious, liqueur-like notes.

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.

In June 2015 Patricia received the OLFACTORAMA ENTHUSIASM’ award for her fragrance New York Intense, the eau de parfum version. In 1997 Patricia NICOLAÏ released her first Eau fraîche ‘Eau d'été’ a fresh floral fragrance for men and women. Alongside the perfume collection, Patricia was one of the first to create high quality room fragrances. Candles, sprays and scented bamboo, including Maharadjah, the brand's signature home fragrance. To celebrate the brand's 30th anniversary, Nicolaï has created a new fragrance, Baïkal Leather Intense.

The brand's emblematic fragrances are Patchouli Intense and Fig Tea for perfumes and Maharadjah for home fragrances. Let yourself be seduced by these three unique fragrances.
