Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Sacrebleu Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Patricia de Nicolaï. Sacrebleu Intense opens with Red Berries, Fruity, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Carnation, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Woody, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur's Sacrebleu Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Sacrebleu Intense is divisive: some hail it as a masterful, complex oriental with a touch of vintage flair, a classic Guerlain meets Poison. Others find it an overpowering cinnamon candle, a synthetic bubblegum mess, or just too '80s and sweet. Try before you buy, obviously!

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

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its intensity and projection make it less suitable for office environments, risking being cloying. However, its opulent, warm spicy, and amber characteristics, with significant longevity, make it ideal for cold weather, formal events, and intimate date nights. It's too heavy for casual daytime wear or anything physical.

About

Opens with a vivid burst of red berries and bright mandarin, quickly giving way to a rich heart of creamy tuberose, jasmine, and a prominent spicy kick of cinnamon and carnation. The base settles into a warm, balsamic embrace of vanilla, tonka bean, and exotic frankincense, grounded by earthy patchouli and smooth sandalwood.
