“I visited the Center East many occasions and I’m all the time stunned by the very heat and welcoming Arabic sense of hospitality. Particularly once they give you espresso! The Arabic espresso is so distinctive, it’s a beautiful combination of Arabica beans and spices akin to cardamom and Tonka beans. I actually respect that scent and it was time for me to create a perfume impressed by these notes.  It’s a path I actually wished to undergo as I notice that I didn’t actually have a woody gourmand in my assortment of fragrances.

Once I began to work on the brand new Nicolaï Parfumeur Createur Caravansérail Intense,  the problem for me was to rework this typical spicy espresso taste right into a fragrance. To take action, I constructed a prime notice utilizing espresso absolute, cardamom essence and a few fruity plum aspects. Then I made a decision to assist this primary impression by a woody patchouli and sandalwood coronary heart all accomplished by dry amber base notes like Ambrocenide and Ambroxan. The identify Caravansérail got here on the finish and it was so apparent! Throughout the Center-Ages a caravanserai was an inn developed all through the Center-East the place vacationers of the Silk and Spices routes used to relaxation after lengthy and onerous journeys. It was a secure place on which in addition they used to commerce and get data of the world. It was a spot of hospitality and that is actually the attribute of that perfume”–Patricia de Nicolaï, January 13, 2023, completely for ÇaFleureBon.
