Somewhere between "One Moment in Time" and today ...
After a long time, a fragrance has once again motivated me to write a review.
I am indeed a big fan of Parfums de Nicolaï, and "New York Intense | Nicolaï / Parfums de Nicolaï" is one of my absolute favorite scents. This naturally means that I am not only always curious about what this privately run fragrance house releases in terms of creations, but also that I might be a bit subjective in my evaluation. But hey, fragrances are art. Art evokes emotions, and how can one remain completely objective in that regard?
Good mood and joy of life! I truly believe that this is what this fragrance instantly triggers in my mind. Not that there aren't similar scents - we are certainly not talking about innovation here - but more about a very beautiful fragrance that simply makes you eager for the day. If the sun is shining, it's the weekend, and maybe you have something nice planned for the day, then nothing can really stop you.
It's almost a shame that it is limited.
About the fragrance:
Victoire by Parfums de Nicolaï really surprised me positively. For me, it is a zesty, fresh scent that becomes floral and significantly softer in the drydown, which will particularly shine on hot summer days. Yuzu, jasmine, and green tea are at the forefront, giving the perfume a refreshing, invigorating note. In the drydown, the scent shifts slightly more towards a woody, slightly fruity direction, but without any sweetness, which I personally really appreciate. The performance is decent for a freshie, but could certainly be better, and the price/performance ratio is really great.
In my opinion, Victoire differs significantly from the very popular Nicolai scents like "New York Intense | Nicolaï / Parfums de Nicolaï" or "Patchouli Intense / Patchouli Homme (Eau de Parfum) | Nicolaï / Parfums de Nicolaï," as I find it to be much rounder and more harmonious, which makes it particularly exciting. The inspiration from the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris is not so clearly perceptible to me personally - the fragrance exudes a dynamic, energetic atmosphere, yes! But, as has already been mentioned in some statements here, it is an absolutely feel-good fragrance that celebrates life. Perhaps this is even a much clearer reference to the spirit of the Olympics than the actual intention. Overall, a very successful summer fragrance that brings joy and freshness into life. Absolute recommendation to buy!
