Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Macaron Bourbon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Patricia de Nicolaï. Macaron Bourbon opens with Davana, Almond, and Rum, settles into a heart of Rose, Cinnamon, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur's Macaron Bourbon carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

Divisive and misnamed, this scent is far more about a boozy, spicy rose than any macaron. A challenging wear for some, a surprisingly elegant and addictive floral for others, but certainly not a blind-buy safe gourmand.

About

Opening with a boozy splash of rum and a hint of bitter almond, this fragrance quickly blossoms into a jammy, sweet rose, bolstered by warm spices like clove and cinnamon. As it settles, a sweet caramel and vanilla undertone emerges, grounded by earthy patchouli and soft musk. It's a journey from spirited floral to a deep, spiced sweetness.
