Vibrant Woody Aromatic Intensity: Parfums de Nicolai New York Intense Eau de Parfum
Experience the electrifying pulse of the city that never sleeps with a masterful fusion of zesty citrus freshness, spicy pepper warmth, and smoky incense-resinous depth, channeling metropolitan energy in Parfums de Nicolai New York Intense Eau de Parfum, launched in 2014 by perfumer Patricia de Nicolaï (unisex woody aromatic oriental spicy citrus, bold and sophisticated appeal)—expertly intensified from the original 1989 New York, blending lemon-bergamot-artemisia-thyme top, lavender-clove-chamomile-cinnamon heart, and incense-resins-styrax-musk-tonka base. Frequently celebrated as a standout niche classic with prominent lavender aromatic elegance, citrus brightness, and incense smokiness, it's praised for its refined complexity, herbal-spicy opening balanced by warm balsamic finish, addictive polished trail, and strong performance in a timeless, urban composition.
This dynamic elixir opens with a dazzling, effervescent surge of lemon, bergamot, artemisia, and thyme for crisp, herbal-citrus lift that's vivid and invigorating, then transitions into a heart of lavender, clove, chamomile, and cinnamon for aromatic-spicy layers that feel polished and intriguing, finally anchoring in a base of incense, resins, styrax, musk, and tonka bean for smoky, resinous richness with lingering sensual warmth. It's citrus-herbal yet spicy-resinous, fresh yet deep, vibrant yet grounded—like lemon-bergamot zest laced with artemisia-thyme greenness over lavender petals dusted with clove-cinnamon, rooted in incense-styrax resins musk tonka that radiates as a confident, metropolitan aura of timeless energy.
It bursts with lemon and bergamot—zesty, citrusy, and strikingly fresh with herbal punch. The heart unveils lavender and chamomile alongside clove and cinnamon, crafting an aromatic-spicy core that's warm, balanced, and mesmerizing. It dries down to a luxurious incense-resins embrace—smoky, resinous, and subtly sweet—forming an enduring, magnetic trail that's unisex, sophisticated, and irresistibly captivating.
