The story behind the bottle.
Number One by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur was launched in 1989 and is a Floral fragrance for women crafted by Patricia de Nicolai. This scent opens with the bright green freshness of galbanum, which contrasts beautifully against the rich sweetness of tuberose and jasmine. The composition evolves into a lush floral bouquet that includes orange blossom, rose, and ylang-ylang, creating an intricate blend of warmth and complexity. At its heart lies a woody base of sandalwood and oakmoss, underscored by balsamic and animalic notes that add depth and mystery.
Apply Number One to pulse points for an immediate burst of green freshness that will gradually give way to its lush floral heart. The woody base notes emerge slowly over time, so layering lightly throughout the day can enhance the fragrance's evolving character.
