The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008 by Patricia de Nicolai for Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur, Maharanih Intense is a rich and complex Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the brightness of citrus with the warmth of spices and woods. The composition opens with bitter orange and cinnamon, creating an immediate contrast between sharp freshness and spicy charm. As it unfolds, carnation and rose add a delicate floral touch, while patchouli and sandalwood anchor the scent in deep, earthy tones. Synthetic civet adds an animalic twist that gives the fragrance its intense character.
This parfum concentration means it projects strongly from the skin. One or two sprays are enough to capture its full depth. Best enjoyed in cooler weather, as the spicy notes can feel overpowering on hot days.
