The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2013, Eau sOleil by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur is a Citrus fragrance that combines the brightness of citrus with aromatic and fresh spicy notes, creating an invigorating experience. Patricia de Nicolai crafted this scent to evoke the essence of sunlight filtered through leaves, blending lemon, bergamot, mandarin orange, and thyme with green nuances like wormwood and petitgrain. The heart of neroli, Egyptian jasmine, and ylang-ylang adds a floral warmth that contrasts beautifully against the crisp top notes, while the base of musk and patchouli grounds the composition in earthy comfort.

How to wear it

This EDT works best with two sprays — the citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so it's important to let the floral heart and musky base develop. It’s better suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh, invigorating scent that doesn’t overpower.
