The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Week-end in Normandy, launched in 2018 by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur and created by Patricia de Nicolai and François Robert, is an aromatic and green composition that captures the essence of a coastal retreat. The fragrance opens with bright bergamot, basil, and mint, evoking a bracing walk along the cliffs overlooking the sea. As it develops, notes of lily-of-the-valley and jasmine add a fresh floral touch before settling into a base of oakmoss, musk, cedar, and leather that reads as earthy and warm.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a balanced diffusion. It has a strong opening that fades into a softer base over time, so one or two sprays are usually enough to capture its full essence throughout the day.
