Odalisque

Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Odalisque is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1989. Odalisque opens with Citrus, Bergamot, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Orris, Lily Of The Valley, Jasmine, and Oakmoss, and dries down to a base of Musk. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur's Odalisque carries a Statement verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This isn't just a perfume; it's a statement. Odalisque is a classic, polarising white floral chypre that's either 'hauntingly beautiful' or a 'cat pee' nightmare. If you're after something unique, sophisticated, and a bit melancholy, this might be your new signature. But sample first, darling, because this one's a wild card.

Given its sophisticated, 'old-school' floral chypre nature and moderate projection, Odalisque is most fitting for formal events or evening dates where elegance is key. Its unique character might be overpowering for casual wear and definitely too much for sport, though some find it office-appropriate in small doses.

About

Odalisque opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and tangerine, quickly giving way to a cool, crisp garden of lily of the valley and jasmine. An earthy undertone of oakmoss grounds the fresh florals, lending a classic, almost melancholic depth, while subtle orris root adds a powdery, refined touch. It dries down to a musky embrace, retaining a sophisticated, green floral character.
