What they make

According to their website, Maison Nicolaï is an independent French perfume house founded in Paris in 1989 by perfumer Patricia de Nicolaï, a descendant of the Guerlain family and ISIPCA graduate, with her husband Jean-Louis Michau. It makes eau de parfum, eau de toilette, eau fraîche, cologne and extrait de parfum, plus home fragrance (candles, diffusers, room sprays) and bath and body items (soaps, hand creams, hair mists, deodorants). Formulas are composed in the founder's Paris laboratory from natural essences such as Indonesian patchouli, Cambodian oud and Turkish rose combined with synthetic ingredients, without consumer testing. Since 1995, concentrates have been sent to the company's own factory in La Ferté-Saint-Aubin, near Paris, where artisans weigh and macerate them, blend them with alcohol, then hand-fill and hand-seal each bottle with a wax seal. The site states perfumes contain 81.3%-99.1% natural ingredients, no added preservatives or dyes, and roughly 50% recycled glass. Nicolaï sells through its own Paris and London boutiques and over 400 points of sale in 75 countries.
