The genesis of a independent perfumery house

Embark on a journey through time to 1989 when Patricia de Nicolaï and her husband Jean-Louis Michau laid the foundation for NICOLAÏ. Their audacious venture aimed to create, sign, and sell their own perfumes, a bold feat during that era. Choosing to focus solely on uncompromising quality and free-spirited creativity, they crafted an elegant and distinguished olfactory narrative.

The essence of Nicolaï's philosophy

From its inception, the essence of Nicolaï's philosophy has been centered on delivering unparalleled quality and fostering creative freedom. This commitment resonated with audiences eager for exquisite compositions. Today, Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur stands as a jewel in the crown of independent French perfumery, exported globally.

Inheritance and passion

The Guerlain family significantly influenced Nicolaï's philosophy. Patricia de Nicolaï is a direct descendant of Pierre Guerlain, a key figure in the company's monumental success in the early 20th century.
