Nicolai Saint Honore

Nicolai Saint Honore moves from sparkling bergamot and pepper into creamy milk, chestnut and orange blossom, then settles into vanilla, sandalwood, musk and airy amber.

Profile: Amber gourmand / lactonic vanilla.

Notes: bergamot, pepper; orange blossom, milk, chestnut; vanilla, sandalwood, musk, amber.

Evolution: sparkling bergamot and pepper → milky chestnut with orange blossom → vanilla, sandalwood, musk and amber.

Best for: For someone who wants comfort to feel polished rather than childish: a soft knit, a quiet corner table and an unhurried Sunday in cool weather. The milky chestnut and vanilla character is deliberately rich, so it may not appeal to those who find lactonic scents cloying.

Origin: France.

Longevity: 6–8 hours.
