The general sensation

Pavlova is a bold and innovative fragrance, inspired by the lightness and delicacy of the famous dessert of the same name. This creation celebrates sweetness and freshness, evoking the grace of a dance between sweet and tart flavours.

Pavlova's theatrical opening invites discovery with a tangy gourmet note, a sparkling effervescence of pineapple, passion fruit and coconut, creating a feeling of self-assured exoticism.

There's also a hint of raspberry, whose rich, fruity nuances add surprising depth. This red berry, both sweet and slightly bitter, adds a fascinating complexity, balancing the lightness of other fruity notes such as peach.

Pavlova is enhanced by a combination of woody notes, with cedar and sandalwood providing a reassuring contrast to the light, fruity notes. Vanilla and musk intertwine harmoniously to sign this original composition, reminiscent of the melting, airy meringue of Pavlova.

The spirit of the fragrance  

The Pavlova bottle is as elegant as the fragrance it contains. Its sleek, sophisticated design reflects the richness and complexity of the fragrance, making every spray a luxurious experience.

Pavlova is a sparkling sensory experience that evokes joy, youth and freedom. It's a nod to the boundless creativity of perfumery, perfect for those looking to stand out from the crowd with a fragrance that's both sweet and complex.

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.
