In 2014, I had the great honor to interview Patricia de Nicolaï as she celebrated her 25th anniversary as an independent perfumery brand. Today, CaFleureBon has the pleasure of announcing the official launch of Parfums de Nicolai BAÏKAL LEATHER INTENSE created for the 30th anniversary of the brand. Parfums de Nicolai BAÏKAL LEATHER is the new fragrance (previewed at Esxence 2019) that will commemorate this momentous milestone.
“Inspired by ‘Cuir de Russie’ fragrances and the way they used to make leather in Russia, BAÏKAL LEATHER INTENSE achieves this leather aspect which is essentially created by blending two dry, woody notes: essence of guaiac wood and essence of smoked pine. This powerful duet is revealed by a fiery start of spicy citrus with yuzu, pepper and saffron, while the aromatic touch of spearmint completes the top notes. The floral heart of rose and violet envelops the leather, softened by an iris butter, Tonka beans and white musk background.”
The fragrance will be available on Monday September 9th in all Nicolaï stores, online and in our selected retailers. 30ml/ $66 and 100 ml/$195
Editor’s Note: In 2014, Madame wrote in her interview “Everything is ahead and the best is always to come. Every day is a battle and you must never rely on a so-called success of yours otherwise you’re finished! Especially in the niche family…Regarding my proudest moment, it is simply the fact that I have been given credibility to my brand, a credibility which has been glorified the day I received a phone call telling me that I was appointed to become a prestigious French ‘Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur’ in 2008; an honour which I was awarded as the creator of a perfume brand and not as a simple perfumer. It meant a lot to me.”
