Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Cedrat Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Patricia de Nicolaï. Cedrat Intense opens with Citron, Lemon, and Orange, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Patchouli. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur's Cedrat Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive but undeniably high-quality citrus with a peppery bite. It's a fresh, zesty opener that quickly settles into something warmer and woodier, but be warned: the 'Intense' in the name doesn't translate to powerhouse performance.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Cedrat Intense opens with a bright, bracing burst of true-to-life citron, lemon, and orange, feeling like a zesty Mediterranean morning. This vibrant citrus quickly gains an edge from a generous dusting of pink pepper and other subtle spices, adding a sophisticated warmth. As it settles, the scent deepens into a refined woody base with an earthy hint of patchouli, retaining a fresh yet grounded character.
