Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur New York Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Patricia de Nicolaï. New York Intense opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Thyme, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Lavender, Cinnamon, Clove, and Chamomile, and dries down to a base of Musk, Resins, Tonka Bean, and Incense. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur's New York Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper grown-up scent, divisive as hell but with a passionate following. You'll either get the hype of this classic, masculine powerhouse or you'll think it smells like an old bloke's aftershave before he clipped his nose hairs. It takes a certain wearer, but it's pure class for those who get it.

Scent Profile

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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Office Date

Its sophisticated aromatic and spicy profile, combined with generally good longevity and moderate to strong sillage, makes it perfect for formal events and the office. It's a bit too refined for casual wear and definitely not for sport, while opinions are split on date nights, with some finding it sexy and others too 'old-school'.

About

It kicks off with a zesty wallop of bergamot and lemon, sharp as a tack, then dives into a rich, spicy heart of clove, cinnamon, and aromatic lavender. The dry down is where it gets really interesting: a deep, musky resinous base with hints of incense and tonka bean adding a touch of smooth warmth. It's an evolving journey from bright citrus to brooding warmth.
