The story of an independent perfume house

In 1989, Patricia de Nicolaï and her husband Jean-Louis Michau founded NICOLAÏ with a bold wager for the time: to create, sign and sell their own fragrances. They chose to pursue only the highest quality and to create freely, away from the dictates of marketing, while maintaining an elegant and distinguished style.

The philosophy of the Nicolaï house

From the very beginning, the philosophy of the Nicolaï house was to focus solely on the highest quality and to create with complete freedom. This commitment won over an audience eager for beautiful compositions. Today, Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur stands among the jewels of independent French perfumery, exported around the world.

The importance of passing on knowledge and passion

The Guerlain family had a significant influence on the philosophy of the Nicolaï house. Patricia de Nicolaï is a direct descendant of Pierre Guerlain, who propelled the company to great successes in the first half of the 20th century.

Today, Patricia is assisted in her creative work by her son Axel de Nicolaï, who also serves as the brand's CEO responsible for development. At Nicolaï, it is all about passion and the transmission of knowledge.
