The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Poudre de Musc Intense by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur was launched in 2021 and crafted by Patricia de Nicolai. This fragrance opens with a crisp aldehydic note that gives way to a heart of rose, orange blossom, and hawthorn, creating an enveloping floral bouquet. The base notes of musk and sandalwood anchor the composition with warmth and depth, resulting in a scent that is both fresh and comforting. Poudre de Musc Intense embodies the brand's signature blend of sophistication and approachability.

How to wear it

Apply Poudre de Musc Intense to pulse points for an intimate yet lasting effect. The aldehydic top notes are bright but fade quickly, giving way to the rich floral and woody base notes that bloom over time. Ideal for evening wear or cooler weather when you want a scent that feels both fresh and enveloping.
