I really admire this lady Patricia Nicolai! She did not accept to be passive but went on and created her own perfumes. I discovered them recently in Greece and I really like them. They have something unique and so classy! Real gems!
Nicolai is one of the handful few authentic perfume houses on the market. This is real authentic traditional French perfumery, rare today. Unlike 98% of perfumes on the market, which are copies of some other fragrances, Nicolai actually creates them from scratch the traditional French way.
I want to support this house based on her story alone. Good for her for going out on her own! I have yet to try any fragrances by Patricia/Parfums de Nicolaï, but I have had Cap Neroli & Fig Tea in my cart just waiting for me to place the order so clearly I'm most interested in those two. I also love that her fragrances aren't soo expensive. My current favorite neroli scent is TF Neroli Portofino and current favorite tea scent is Le Labo's Thé Noir 29.
I’ve tried New York Intense and Patchouli Intense from PDN. I would love to get my nose on and own a bottle of Cuir Cuba Intense. My favorite tobacco fragrance is Slumberhouse Jeke. New York Intense is my other choice and the sample I had didn’t last 2 days before it was empty. My favorite Oakmoss based fragrance has got to be Frédéric Malle French Lover. Thank you Sebastian and ZGO for your generosity!
Hello, I personally used Bagouli and New York, and the Bagouli was fabulous, a masterpiece, and a bomb of fragrant and steadfastness, as if you were walking in a grove of green bagouli and vanilla trees. As for New York, it does not reach the strength of the fragrant baguioli, but it is a very beautiful fragrance of citruses and warm, refreshing spices.
So happy to see this review of De NicolaÏ,,, I went to a shop in Paris years ago and was struck by the simplicity and elegance of everything!!. Ended up purchasing a roomspray of Musc Blanc and adore it in my bathroom!!! I have to go with your top two favorites as so often I love your top picks! My favorite tobacco fragrance is Herod PDM and my favorite sample (do not own) of musk is Musk Aoud Roja Dove... although this one from Nicolaï seems so much cleaner and fresh so I am excited to try it. California many thanks to you and ZGO
I won your last give away on Cap Neroli. Fell in love with it and got a bottle. With the giveaway, I was provided a sample of Fig and Tea and Patchouli Intense. Those were amazing too! I am intrigued and looking forward to trying more from this house.
I am a fan of Nicolai perfumes and actually do own a 100ml of Fig Tea. Musc Intense sounds lovely - I currently wear SJP Lovely. And Cap Neroli - this summer I have been wearing Jo Malone Basil and neroli a lot. I am in PA. Thank you and Zgo for an excellent and generous giveaway!
Good for her for starting her own line and not letting how she was treated by Guerlain hold her back! I've heard great things about this line but I haven't had a chance to try it. I'd love to try New York Intense (I love vintage Mitsouko for oakmoss) and Cap Neroli (current neroli fave is Knot by BV). Thanks for another great video and for the draw. I'm in CA.
Madam Nicolai is an amazing talent. I'm glad she didn't get sucked into Guerlain, she probably would not be able to showcase her amazing skills. Her room sprays are amazing too. I have a couple.
You have GOT to try Odalisque... It's honestly one of the best fragrances I've ever worn... Green, floral chypre... And NOTHING smells like it.. really unique! ❤
Oh, the Musc Intense sounds amazing. I haven't tried it as I am apparently anosmic to some musks. The pear note is particularly enticing to me. I have a decant of Areej Le Dore's Russian Musk, which is heavenly and my favorite musk right now. Cap Neroli is also on my list to try. My current favorite neroli is Guerlain Neroli Outrenoir. My favorite Nicolai of all time is Le Temps d'une Fete, which is unfortunately discontinued. Sebastian, you must try the Patchouli Intense. Absolutely stunning! Illinois here.
I'd choose New York Intense or Cuir Cuba Intense. Current favorite oakmoss is Acqua di Gio and current favorite tobacco fragrance is Jazz Club. Thanks Sebastian! Arkansas, USA
Cap Neroli and Cuir Cuba sound the best to me! I absolutely love Neroli. My favorite is Clean Acqua Neroli. My favorite tobacco based is Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille or D&G The One. Another new house to me! Thanks for the informative video. Kentucky, USA.
Your top 5 sound like they smell amazing, but I would love to try Fig Tea, my fave tea frag is Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Tropical. I love the tea scent and fruit combo! Cap Neroli interest me also my fave Neroli scent is Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic perfume! I live in the US.
I have a 15ml of NY Intense bought blindly due to the praises it is getting. Sadly it is not for me. It was giving me the same vibe as Habit Rouge EDT. Would love to try Cap Neroli. I love my Kobe and also Neroli Portofino Forte which I don't own yet. Thanks, Seb!
Fig Tea: My fav tea fragrance is Tea for Two (as for the mate note, fav would be Iris Celadon) Cuir Cuba Intense: My fav tobacco fragrance is Tobacco Vanille. Miami, Florida. Thanks!!
I'm definitely intrigued by this house! The 30ml bottles are so ideal! Fig-Tea definitely sounds good! My favorite and SOTD is Un Jardin en Mediterannee. Second would be Cuir Cuba and my thoughts on Tobacco is that it's been repetitive in so many houses. But I do really enjoy Tobacco Vanille. Nevada.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the red stitching on her blouse is to remember the French underground resistance against the Nazis. Favorite Moss fragrance is Latitude Longitude by Nautica, and favorite neroli fragrance is Bright Neroli by Ferrari. Thanks again for the interesting review! USA, CO
Sebastian enjoyed this video, great review. Have been wanting to try this house out. When looking at this house, the two fragrances that spark my interest is New York Intense, which my favorite oak moss fragrance is Polo Green, Next Cuir Cuba Intense which my favorite tobacco fragrance is Herod
My favorites, based on your descriptions are New York Intense and Cuir Cuba. My favorite oak moss fragrance goes way back to Coriolan by Guerlain. Favorite tobacco is really hard to choose as tobacco can be done so many different ways, but I'll go with a classic, Chergui by Serge Lutens.
Good review, Sebastian. I would really like to get my hands on Cuir Cuba because of the tobacco, because of having worn such scents as Tobacco Vanille and CK One Shock. I would, also, like New York Intense because of such fragrances as Tres Nuit and Ferragamo F Black. Have a nice day!
New York Intense and Cap Neroli sound best to me. (My favorite now is New York... haven't gotten my nose on NY Intense yet). Favorite Neroli is Ferrari's Bright Neroli (!) which was cheap when I could get it.... seems to have disappeared altogether. I'm sure that's a much simpler fragrance, but I'm very keen to sniff the Parfums de Nicolai Neroli. Greetings from Southern California!
My only experience with Parfums De Nicolai is getting a sample of Cuir Cuba Intense from Luckyscent I enjoyed it. I would like to win Cuir Cuba Intense. My favorite Designer Tobacco fragrance is Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, my favorite Niche tobacco scent is Xerjoff Naxos. Virginia USA
Loved the description of all of these. I've never tried anything from this house. I'm drawn to Musc Intense. My favorite musk fragrance is Kiehl's Musk (both the oil and edt). The other I was drawn to was Cuir Cuba Intense. My favorite tobacco fragrance is Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille (even though I don't own it). I live in the USA (Pennsylvania)
Helvetolide Odor Description:musk-ambrette, rich, fruity-pear Works well in combination with other musks, having a synergistic effect with several of them (including, Exaltone Exaltolide and Habanolide for example), so that very small doses can be an effective boost to a musk complex. Description from Firmenich: “A sophisticated, modern musky note with a fruity pear aspect. Olfactively, between Ambrettolide and Ethylene Brassylate
Great review as always. I’d pick Musc Intense and Cuir Cuba Intense. My favorite Musc at the moment is Mugler Over the Musk and my favorite tobacco frag is a tie between OJ Montabaco and Roja Creation-E.
Hey Sebastian! I was just recently turned onto Cuir Cuba, and oh my word, I'm in heaven! I've been subbed to you for a while, but somehow I missed this review apparently. I enjoyed the back story, and I'm also a big neroli fan as well, so I'll be diving deeper into this house! I'll be doing a pretty dope review on this fragrance that will be uploaded the week of Christmas. I truly enjoy your content! All the best brother! Cam B.
Top 2 choices would be cap neroli and fig-tea! My fav neroli fragrance is basil & neroli (Jo Malone London) and unfortunately I don't have any tea or fig fragrances. From Canada, can pick up from USA. Hopefully I can still enter the contest :)
I've never tried any PdN but always have wanted to try New York Intense. I love Bois du Portugal and Héritage which I have heard NYI compared to. I love Paloma Picasso EdP and Mitsuoku for Oak Moss. Musc Intense also would be great to try and my favorite current musk is Over the Musk by Mugler. I live in Arizona.
Just picked up almost the entire line from fragrancebuy in their sale, I was going to pass on Musc Intense until I saw your review, sounds great. Really looking forward to trying this house out.
I loved her story of the big kiss off to Guerlain's male-dominated world. The neroli sounds very vibrant and interesting for summer. I've wanted to see more stone-fruit and fig fruit scents but I am not a tea scent fan. This sounds lovely. Cuir Cuba! Mmmmm. Very interesting composition! I like animalic musks rather than clean musks. But pear and musk sounds interesting. I think my two picks would be the Cuir Cuba and the Fig Tea since those are notes I own the least of. I think my fave tobacco scent is Habanita. My fave fig is probably Armani Prive Figuier Eden or Annick Goutal Ninfeo Mio if it lasted longer. I have a few samples from this house that I have not tried yet. I am in Ohio.
Oh wow, CUIR CUBA and NEW YORK INTENSE are the ones I need to try! My favorite tobacco so far is tobacco vanilla by TF, and my favorite oak moss is... hmm. Bois de Portugal? My state: MA
Great review Bro. This House sounds like quality. Haven’t tried anything from them. Musc Intense and Cap Neroli sounds a bit more to my interest but I don’t have a favorite Musc or Neroli fragrance yet because I Haven’t had the chance to try or wear fragrances with those notes being dominant. Would love to start with these. Thanks ✌🏻
Cool new intro music! I remember your review on Cap Neroli and it's certainly a winner - definitely my second choice of the bunch. But New York Intense piques my interest in this one... Creed's BdP has been one of my favourite old school woody aromatics for a while now, so if NYI really tops it....wow. Favourite current oakmoss is tough though..hmm...probably the original Eau Savage. Mugler cologne is my current favourite neroli. Can't wait to hear about Patchouli Intense! NC
Solid video as alway. The interview was appreciated. It is nice to know more about the people behind the fragrances. I am interested in New York intense and cap Neroli. My current favorite oak moss is Aventus. My current favorite Neroli is Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Forte. Thank you
I have tried New York Intense and Cuir Cuba Intense, so I'm most intrigued by the Musc Intense and Cap Neroli. My current favorite musk probably isn't heavy on the note, but I'd go with Christopher Street by Charenton Macerations or Narciso Rodriguez for Him. My current neroli is Neroli Portofino Acqua by Tom Ford. I'm in Ohio.
Thanks for your reviews Sebastian! I like the sound of Cuir Cuba Intense, my Dad used to wear Tabac when I was growing up, I have no idea if this one smells anything like it, but Tabac does bring back child-hood memories!
You are always mining gold for your subscribers! Thank you! I would choose New York Intense or Fig Tea (Intense). Currently enjoy Creed Bois du Portugal and Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi/Hermès Un Jardin En Mediterranée. Atlanta, Georgia USA
Sebastian, thanks again for yet another niche brand, the story behind it, and giveaway. I have to admit that the combination of notes makes it obvious that she's trying to break new ground and I value and appreciate that. A great perfume should be distinctive as well as smell beautiful, IMHO. OMG, definitely "Cuir Cuba Intense," and my fave tobacco (decant) is Herod and "Fig-Tea," and my absolute favorite tea scent is Le Labo's The Noir 29. Shocker, I know, right? (California) Thanks again, Seb, and cheers!
This is a great brand. Used to own New York original and it is a world class fougere. Reminded me of an upscale Bowling Green. New York Intense and Musc Intense would be my selections. Current Oakmoss is Sartorial. Current fav musk is SMN Muschio. Gorgeous stuff. Cal USA 🇺🇸
Fantastic review as always, thank you. I own PdN's Vie de Chateau and adore it's fresh hay greenness. It's a house I'd truly enjoy more of I'm certain. My current favorite tobacco scent is Rania J's T. Harbenero. And current orange fave remains Cirebon from Paul Schütze, although I also love the original Czech and Speake Neroli. I'd have to say that the Cap Neroli is most interesting to me. I am in the States in Pennsylvania.
I'd choose Cuir Cuba Intense. My current favorite tobacco fragrance is Atelier Cologne's Tobacco Nuit. Thanks to you and ZGO for the giveaway! I live in Oregon.
Very interesting video especially with the interview. I liked the Musc Intense because I adore DSH Musc de Medina and looking for an amazing musk fragrance. New York Intense sounds interesting as I like the New York one. Am in Florida and would absolutely love to try these fragrances!
Cuir Cuba Intense (fav tobacco - Slumberhouse Baque); New York Intense (fav oakmoss - Andrea Maack Coven). Loved another "no females allowed" success story! Mich USA ♡☆♡
GreAt video. I just went to Paris and her shop was right next door to where I stayed . I fell in love w the Rose Pivoine. I love it to much . Can’t wait to try some of your suggestions.
Fig Tea and Cap Neroli for me. Favorite fig fragrance is Figaro de Lubin. I like Neroli Portofino but the price is so off-putting that I'd rather douse myself with 4711 which smells very much like it. to my nose, at least.
Thank you Sebastian for this amazing review and many thanks ZGO perfumery for this draw. I am interested in Cap Neroli and like Neroli Portofino Tom ford, and also like description of Musc Intense and like Musc Ravager Frederic Malle. US
Thank you Sebastian for this review and draw. I like Particial's perfume very much- real maison. Musc Intense - my favorite muscy perfume is Musc Ravagier Frederic Malle and I like Fig-Tea and I like Dityque Philosikos. US
Cuir Cuba Intense sounds great, that would be my pick; currently loving both Sunshine Woman and Pure Havane for the tobacco (even though its tobacco blossom in Sunshine Woman). I’m in TN. Thanks to you and ZGO for the giveaway😘
Great video and I had no idea that this house had a connection to Guerlain (my favorite fragrance house)! I am proud of her for making her own mark in a male dominated industry. My two favorites are New York Intense (Creed Bois Du Portugal) and Cuir Cuba Intense (Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille). I also have an honorable mention Fig Tea (L'Artisan Figuier Extreme). I live in Virginia in the US. Thanks for the giveaway! :-)
Would love to get my nose on Fig Tea and Musc Intense! My current favorite tea scent is Oolang Infiniti from Atelier and my go-to musc scent is Musc 25 from Le Labo
Another great giveaway, Sebastian! Thank you for reviewing PdN again; I really enjoy this house! PdN's Rose Royale is lovely, too. I'd love to try Rose Oud and Oud Sublime out next. From your list, I'm interested in Cuir Cuba Intense and Musc Intense since I already own Fig Tea, which is great! For a musk, my current favorite is Frederic Malle's Musc Ravageur; for tobacco, it's Papillon's Tobacco Rose; for leather, it's Imaginary Author's Slow Explosions; and for tea, it's Nishane's Wulong Cha. (CT/NY)
I received my perfume today, New York Intense, I love it! It reminds me a bit of Monsieur from Chanel, but it is much more vibrant, it’s like a stroll on Broadway :-)
Great video as always. I would love to try musc intense and cap neroli. My favourite juice that i own, neroli based is custo barcelona pour homme and fav musc from atelier cologne - musc imperial 👍🏻 Oakland CA
Got the sample pack and man, even tho I don’t see my self wearing all the scents but have to admit the ingredients smell amazing. Incense smells like incense, neroli smells like neroli for example
new york intense, cuir Cuba intense they sound really good to give a try. as my fav alternates would be invectus and pure havane. and I live in Tennessee
I love this house. My favourites among this five are Musk Intense and New York Intense, but as I already have them I would like to chose Cap Neroli for giveaway. My favourite musk scent apart this one (Musk Intense by PdN) is completely different musk scent, which is Narciso Rodriguez For Him Eau de Parfum Intense. My favourite oakmoss scent? O, wow, this is hard, I like this one as well as BdP by Creed, but I have to mention also a few others like: Polo by Ralph Lauren, Colonia Quercia by Acqua di Parma, Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene and Bogart by Jacques Bogart. So it's rather the top 5 then a favourite one ;-) I have an address in Huston, TX
Thanks for the video! Jara.... If you want to discover, please go for Nicolai Patchouli Intense. From your list, my choices are New York Intense and Musk Intense. My current favorite Oakmoss based fragrances are Le Sillage Blanc & Le Labo Mousse de Chene whereas my favorite Musk based fragrances are Abdul Samad Al Qurashi Deer Musk, Kiehl's Original Musk and Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur. Thanks for the generosity & draw! Would like to participate in the draw by letting my relative address in NY, US.
Love it!!awesome to hear Patricia's story!Cuir Cuba Intense sounds great and different (I wear Pure Havane) and Musc Intense sounds incredible (I wear Chanel 5 perfume) #california

HI BROTHER WHY YOUR GIVEAWAY JUST FOR USA WHY NOT UK TOO PLEASE ADD YOUR GIVEAWAY UK THANKS
Hello a San Francisco USA store cannot sponsor a giveaway for UK as they do not have representation there. :)
I really admire this lady Patricia Nicolai! She did not accept to be passive but went on and created her own perfumes. I discovered them recently in Greece and I really like them. They have something unique and so classy! Real gems!
Nicolai is one of the handful few authentic perfume houses on the market. This is real authentic traditional French perfumery, rare today. Unlike 98% of perfumes on the market, which are copies of some other fragrances, Nicolai actually creates them from scratch the traditional French way.
I want to support this house based on her story alone. Good for her for going out on her own! I have yet to try any fragrances by Patricia/Parfums de Nicolaï, but I have had Cap Neroli & Fig Tea in my cart just waiting for me to place the order so clearly I'm most interested in those two. I also love that her fragrances aren't soo expensive. My current favorite neroli scent is TF Neroli Portofino and current favorite tea scent is Le Labo's Thé Noir 29.

Hey Sebastian, have you considered doing an updated review or top 10-12 of the house of Nicolai? Just curious.
Excellent review. The only one I found about Nicolai perfumes. Thanks.
I won your last give away on Cap Neroli. Fell in love with it and got a bottle. With the giveaway, I was provided a sample of Fig and Tea and Patchouli Intense. Those were amazing too! I am intrigued and looking forward to trying more from this house.

I was surprised Patchouli Intense wasn't on your list. ☺
Madam Nicolai is an amazing talent. I'm glad she didn't get sucked into Guerlain, she probably would not be able to showcase her amazing skills.
Her room sprays are amazing too. I have a couple.
You have GOT to try Odalisque... It's honestly one of the best fragrances I've ever worn... Green, floral chypre... And NOTHING smells like it.. really unique! ❤

I choose New York Intense, it sounds really good. My faverote is Creed bois du portugal and i'm from Sunny California :)
Loved the description of all of these. I've never tried anything from this house. I'm drawn to Musc Intense. My favorite musk fragrance is Kiehl's Musk (both the oil and edt). The other I was drawn to was Cuir Cuba Intense. My favorite tobacco fragrance is Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille (even though I don't own it). I live in the USA (Pennsylvania)

Top 2 choices would be cap neroli and fig-tea! My fav neroli fragrance is basil & neroli (Jo Malone London) and unfortunately I don't have any tea or fig fragrances. From Canada, can pick up from USA. Hopefully I can still enter the contest :)
I've never tried any PdN but always have wanted to try New York Intense. I love Bois du Portugal and Héritage which I have heard NYI compared to. I love Paloma Picasso EdP and Mitsuoku for Oak Moss. Musc Intense also would be great to try and my favorite current musk is Over the Musk by Mugler. I live in Arizona.
Great House! Thank you for talking about it :) But what about Sacrebleu Intense? Such a great scent - do you know it?
Just picked up almost the entire line from fragrancebuy in their sale, I was going to pass on Musc Intense until I saw your review, sounds great. Really looking forward to trying this house out.
I loved her story of the big kiss off to Guerlain's male-dominated world. The neroli sounds very vibrant and interesting for summer. I've wanted to see more stone-fruit and fig fruit scents but I am not a tea scent fan. This sounds lovely. Cuir Cuba! Mmmmm. Very interesting composition! I like animalic musks rather than clean musks. But pear and musk sounds interesting. I think my two picks would be the Cuir Cuba and the Fig Tea since those are notes I own the least of.

Oh wow, CUIR CUBA and NEW YORK INTENSE are the ones I need to try! My favorite tobacco so far is tobacco vanilla by TF, and my favorite oak moss is... hmm. Bois de Portugal? My state: MA
Great review Bro. This House sounds like quality. Haven’t tried anything from them. Musc Intense and Cap Neroli sounds a bit more to my interest but I don’t have a favorite Musc or Neroli fragrance yet because I Haven’t had the chance to try or wear fragrances with those notes being dominant.

Hi Sebastian I need to smell them all asap! Seems to be an amazing house ❤️ bad move for Guerlain … ! 😘
I have tried New York Intense and Cuir Cuba Intense, so I'm most intrigued by the Musc Intense and Cap Neroli. My current favorite musk probably isn't heavy on the note, but I'd go with Christopher Street by Charenton Macerations or Narciso Rodriguez for Him. My current neroli is Neroli Portofino Acqua by Tom Ford. I'm in Ohio.
Thanks for your reviews Sebastian! I like the sound of Cuir Cuba Intense, my Dad used to wear Tabac when I was growing up, I have no idea if this one smells anything like it, but Tabac does bring back child-hood memories!
Yes! Great video! One of my favorite houses. Patricia is probably my favorite perfumer! Love this video
You are always mining gold for your subscribers! Thank you!
I would choose New York Intense or Fig Tea (Intense). Currently enjoy Creed Bois du Portugal and Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi/Hermès Un Jardin En Mediterranée.
Atlanta, Georgia USA
hi! which one of the nicolai fragrances presented here is sweeter....I dont like rough, dry parfume for ladies...maybe musk intense ?
Maybe try Fig Tea or Musk Intense! :)
Love Fig-Tea. I tried samples of lots of fig fragrances before deciding on it. I like the fig type in this much more in comparison.
Sebastian, thanks again for yet another niche brand, the story behind it, and giveaway. I have to admit that the combination of notes makes it obvious that she's trying to break new ground and I value and appreciate that. A great perfume should be distinctive as well as smell beautiful, IMHO. OMG, definitely "Cuir Cuba Intense," and my fave tobacco (decant) is Herod and "Fig-Tea," and my absolute favorite tea scent is Le Labo's The Noir 29. Shocker, I know, right? (California) Thanks again, Seb, and cheers!
New York Intense - I don't currently have an OakMoss Fragrance. I am kinda new to this fragrance journey I am in North Carolina
This is a great brand. Used to own New York original and it is a world class fougere. Reminded me of an upscale Bowling Green. New York Intense and Musc Intense would be my selections. Current Oakmoss is Sartorial. Current fav musk is SMN Muschio. Gorgeous stuff. Cal USA 🇺🇸
Great review as usual
Musk: Narciso Rodriguez for him
Tobacco: Tom ford Tobacco Vanilla
Miami Florida Thanks
Great review spotlight Sebastian.
Fig tea, sounds like a good scent, my favorite is Philosykos, and the musk, is musc 22 by le labo
Always wanted to smell one of this fragrances never had a chance. Thank you for this.
Fantastic review as always, thank you. I own PdN's Vie de Chateau and adore it's fresh hay greenness. It's a house I'd truly enjoy more of I'm certain. My current favorite tobacco scent is Rania J's T. Harbenero. And current orange fave remains Cirebon from Paul Schütze, although I also love the original Czech and Speake Neroli. I'd have to say that the Cap Neroli is most interesting to me. I am in the States in Pennsylvania.
I'd choose Cuir Cuba Intense. My current favorite tobacco fragrance is Atelier Cologne's Tobacco Nuit. Thanks to you and ZGO for the giveaway! I live in Oregon.
Very interesting video especially with the interview. I liked the Musc Intense because I adore DSH Musc de Medina and looking for an amazing musk fragrance. New York Intense sounds interesting as I like the New York one. Am in Florida and would absolutely love to try these fragrances!
Cuir Cuba Intense (fav tobacco - Slumberhouse Baque); New York Intense (fav oakmoss - Andrea Maack Coven). Loved another "no females allowed" success story! Mich USA ♡☆♡
GreAt video. I just went to Paris and her shop was right next door to where I stayed . I fell in love w the Rose Pivoine. I love it to much . Can’t wait to try some of your suggestions.
I just got Rose Pivoine as well!! Woohoo fresh rose right??
Fig Tea and Cap Neroli for me. Favorite fig fragrance is Figaro de Lubin. I like Neroli Portofino but the price is so off-putting that I'd rather douse myself with 4711 which smells very much like it. to my nose, at least.
Great review! What's your opinion on Amber Oud? 😊
Really Good Reviews. You talk about houses I never even heard of. Very Professional and Refreshing.
Thank you Sebastian for this amazing review and many thanks ZGO perfumery for this draw.
I am interested in Cap Neroli and like Neroli Portofino Tom ford, and also like description of Musc Intense and like Musc Ravager Frederic Malle.
US
Thank you Sebastian for this review and draw.
I like Particial's perfume very much- real maison.
Musc Intense - my favorite muscy perfume is Musc Ravagier Frederic Malle and I like Fig-Tea and I like Dityque Philosikos.
US
hello!! how are you?patchouli intense and new york intense are for men,women or unisex? thanks!!
Good review. I have and love Bois du Portugal. I have heard of this house but never tried.
The two that peak my interest is fig tree and musc intense. My favorite fig fragrance is phylosykos and my favorite musk is Aqua universalis forte..
NY intense was my keeper, really good line
There is another licorice - Angela Ciampagna Liquo. Useful review - thank you. I missed it earlier.
Cuir Cuba Intense sounds great, that would be my pick; currently loving both Sunshine Woman and Pure Havane for the tobacco (even though its tobacco blossom in Sunshine Woman). I’m in TN. Thanks to you and ZGO for the giveaway😘
Great video and I had no idea that this house had a connection to Guerlain (my favorite fragrance house)! I am proud of her for making her own mark in a male dominated industry. My two favorites are New York Intense (Creed Bois Du Portugal) and Cuir Cuba Intense (Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille). I also have an honorable mention Fig Tea (L'Artisan Figuier Extreme). I live in Virginia in the US. Thanks for the giveaway! :-)
I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm learning so much about scents other than designer brands.
I really want to try Musc now.
Great review!! I would love to try musc intense (favorite musk is jazz club) and fig(phIlosykos) Tea(chez bond)-NY
Thanks for the great content!!
I'm very interested in this house. Musk Intense says that it has civet, is it strong, mild or does it just blend well within the fragrance?
Would love to get my nose on Fig Tea and Musc Intense! My current favorite tea scent is Oolang Infiniti from Atelier and my go-to musc scent is Musc 25 from Le Labo
Another great giveaway, Sebastian! Thank you for reviewing PdN again; I really enjoy this house! PdN's Rose Royale is lovely, too. I'd love to try Rose Oud and Oud Sublime out next. From your list, I'm interested in Cuir Cuba Intense and Musc Intense since I already own Fig Tea, which is great! For a musk, my current favorite is Frederic Malle's Musc Ravageur; for tobacco, it's Papillon's Tobacco Rose; for leather, it's Imaginary Author's Slow Explosions; and for tea, it's Nishane's Wulong Cha. (CT/NY)
Have you happened to try Angelys Pear? I want to purchase it to review, it sounds so lovely.
Love your video Sebastian. Thanks for your work as usual. Andy from Berkeley.
I received my perfume today, New York Intense, I love it! It reminds me a bit of Monsieur from Chanel, but it is much more vibrant, it’s like a stroll on Broadway :-)
Would like to try cap neroli. My wife uses annick goutal neroli and I like it a lot. Is the Castro store the only storefront they have?
Musc Intense !
My fave musk scent currently is Escentric 01 molecule and Annick Goutal Musc Nomad
I love your work Sebastian. Your the best. Andy from Berkeley
Interesting house, I would love to try these fragrances. I am leaning toward the Cuba scent as I really love Tom Fords Tabacco Vanille.
Congratulations on 20 K looking forward to the next 20 K!
New York Intense and Cuir Cuba Intense are amazing!
I agree! :)
They all sound so interesting! thanks for sharing
Great video as always. I would love to try musc intense and cap neroli. My favourite juice that i own, neroli based is custo barcelona pour homme and fav musc from atelier cologne - musc imperial 👍🏻 Oakland CA
Got the sample pack and man, even tho I don’t see my self wearing all the scents but have to admit the ingredients smell amazing. Incense smells like incense, neroli smells like neroli for example
I have to get a bottle!!! Smelled this line @ MinNY some time ago.
They are great yes! :)
Cur Cuba and my fav tobacco is tobacco vanille, and cap neroli and my fav neroli is Fleurs d oranger by Serge Lutens , California USA
I love Nicolaï -Amber Cashmere wow 🥰
new york intense, cuir Cuba intense they sound really good to give a try. as my fav alternates would be invectus and pure havane. and I live in Tennessee
I love this house. My favourites among this five are Musk Intense and New York Intense, but as I already have them I would like to chose Cap Neroli for giveaway. My favourite musk scent apart this one (Musk Intense by PdN) is completely different musk scent, which is Narciso Rodriguez For Him Eau de Parfum Intense. My favourite oakmoss scent? O, wow, this is hard, I like this one as well as BdP by Creed, but I have to mention also a few others like: Polo by Ralph Lauren, Colonia Quercia by Acqua di Parma, Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene and Bogart by Jacques Bogart. So it's rather the top 5 then a favourite one ;-) I have an address in Huston, TX
I have the oud-rose and the patchouly one and they are diffrent and adorabke
Does Cuir Cuba intense smell similar to Christian Dior eau noire
Thanks for the video! Jara.... If you want to discover, please go for Nicolai Patchouli Intense.
From your list, my choices are New York Intense and Musk Intense. My current favorite Oakmoss based fragrances are Le Sillage Blanc & Le Labo Mousse de Chene whereas my favorite Musk based fragrances are Abdul Samad Al Qurashi Deer Musk, Kiehl's Original Musk and Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur.
Thanks for the generosity & draw! Would like to participate in the draw by letting my relative address in NY, US.
