Nicolaï Pour Homme

A moderately sweet, moderately patchouli-bearing spiced wood scent, with just enough "powerhouse"-ness to remind me of some 80s scents (Calvin) without being too sharp or dirty. It's unfortunately one of the worst sufferers of the syndrome where a spot on cloth doesn't smell like anything for the first few minutes...it's almost like an aquatic or EdC with patchouli at first. On my finger, though, I can smell the residue from the sample vial, which is a very mellow, almost coconutty log-cabin wood scent with nutmeg followed later by cinnamon, a lot like the base of Santos. It also sometimes reminds me of the creamy sweet wood of Zino, but less sweet and minus the astringent sagey opening that I dislike. I'm not sure I would buy this because it reminds me of two others I already have and like, but it's a really good compromise between the older, sharper wood scents and the sweeter, smoother ones that I normally prefer.

If the standard of balmy fragrance exists in the world for sure it called Nicolaï Pour Homme. This perfume is balmy, very resinous... soft and happy at the beginning, cozy and warm in the end. Except of lavender in the start and fresh geranium making it clean for at least one hour, other notes are so well mixed and balanced that I’m not able to recognize them separately. Nicolaï Pour Homme is pure class in the bottle. It is very European and French. It is also very unique ... however I have big collection of fragrance there is nothing even slightly similar to it. Unfortunately Patricia de Nicolaï decided to discontinue this masterpiece... WHY??? Nevertheless I found ausliebezumduft.de still has it in stock :-).

Green, with soft aroma, but good intensity, brings a sense of comfort like being in your own bed with clean sheets. The mint does not bring freshness, in my skin is bitter, perhaps because of the mix with tobacco. After a while, the floral notes and a slight touch of resin appeared, bringing a bit of sweetness to the perfume making this a beautiful green and floral male fragrance.

I've heard this piece of art has been discontinued. I ran to Particia Nicolai's shop in London and bought the last bottle, and the tester.

Reminds me of Caron pour un homme and I hate them both. Gag!

Masculine fragrances tend to have higher thresholds of propriety yet mystifyingly lower standards of quality. It’s an odd function of male gender and self-regard. Most men would rather wear the cheapest smelling iteration of woody/aquatic/woody amber rubbish than a perfectly executed white floral. That is to say, they would rather smell bad, but like the herd, rather than stand out for beauty. This holds true even for the straight man, who in his secret heart just adores tuberose. Every now and then there is a notable beauty that somehow still makes the cut of masculine acceptability. Past examples include Carthusia Numero Uno, Guerlain Habit Rouge, Caron le Troisiemme Homme, Tauer’s l’Air du Desert Marocain. Add to that list de Nicolai’s pour Homme. It is a lavender/tobacco/amber stunner that, likely due to its clean, cool lavender, easily passes masculine muster. The discerning nose, though, will spot its beauty and nuance. Lavender is identifiable and acceptable to the masculine nose. In this case, though, it is also the vehicle for introducing a range of qualities, from herbal to floral, that, because they are fellow travelers with the lavender, slide in under a masculine radar that might otherwise be censoring any notes but fresh, light and sport.

Nicolaï Pour Homme. Greener than my life! It opens up citrusy with strong mint then you get lavender, geranium and jasmine, after that it dries down softer and a little sweeter with the green and earthy undertone.

It seems to be in the throes of being discontinued/updated. PdN London haven't been able to get new stock for months - just 2 bottles arrived.

I am looking to buy this, please hit me up if anybody would be selling one.
