L'Eau Mixte

Great blend! My first encounter with Parfums de Nicolaï has been a wonderful one. I bought this together with ELDO's You or someone like you as both seemingly share the same ingredients (mint, grapefruit, bergamot, rose...). I was looking for a summer frag and I liked both despite them being way different. In this case, I was wowed by the amazing blend. It is highly chic and it doesn't scream, you will smell it for hours but more as an eau de cologne that persists with fair sillage. It performs so well, I am so intrigued at how Patricia and friends managed to create something so well done. I get easily bored by citrus and here I found myself smelling my arms ten times an hour. I eventually gave it to a friend for it smells better on her but I would call this unisex anyway. A safe blindbuy for sure if you like soft yet unique smelling citrus. Unlike ELDO's, the mint is not loud but a part of the whole concoction so expect more of a composition than a fragrance with particular notes here. Wonderful!

It's a lovely warm spring day here, which is perfect for Nicolai's L'eau Mixte. Fresh blackcurrant leaves, juicy grapefruit, lively peppermint, grassy vetiver, clean white musk, and a pinch of citrusy rose. This is a very long-lasting fresh fragrance that is not too powerful, yet it radiates around you with class. One of Patricia de Nicolai's best fresh fragrances, in my opinion. The jolt of cooling peppermint with citrus and green notes is just so pleasing for a spring day.

If Nicolaï does something exclusively, it is citrus: photorealistic, zesty, juicy, bitter and fresh. L’Eau Mixte is more than it. Amazing citrus opening and amazing flower heart. I adore the graceful combination with jasmine and roses. It is elegant, balanced and clean. Mint is cooling and gives a relaxing, green hint, reinforced by juniperus. The base is not too deep, only solid. L’Eau Mixte is optimistic, spicy scent which is bright and sympatic. Definitely worth to meet!

Very nice, unisex, warm weather scent. The opening is very citrus forward : lemon, bergamot and rindy grapefruit. Dries down to a citrus, slightly floral and green/minty scent. And after a few hours, you vaguely get some oakmoss/woody aspect to it but very mild, blending with the other notes in the dry down. Worth sampling if you like : unoffensive, fresh, citrus, easy to like fragrance for the warmer months.

Citrus, fruity, minty. Hints of green. Bright, refreshing, summery. Fruity but not cloyingly sweet. Natural, not synthetic. Very enjoyable. Not stunning on first wear, but unique and different. Really like it. Scent: 7.5 / Sillage: 7 / Longevity: 7
