Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Week-end in Normandy is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by François Robert and Patricia de Nicolaï. Week-end in Normandy opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Galbanum, and Basil, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Lily of the Valley, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Oakmoss. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur's Week-end in Normandy carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive but utterly unique green fragrance that some find a beautifully balanced, verdant oasis, while others struggle with its initial herbal punch and animalic undertones. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

About

Opening with a vigorous burst of bergamot, lemon, and tarragon, this fragrance immediately declares its green intention. Soon, galbanum and basil reinforce a fresh, almost lawn-like herbal quality, occasionally leaning medicinal. As it settles, delicate jasmine and lily of the valley emerge, softened by a hint of tropical ylang-ylang, adding a subtle floral counterpoint. The base brings an earthy foundation of oakmoss and cedar, with a soft musk and a whisper of leather providing depth and a gentle animalic warmth.
