Niche line Parfums de Nicolaï launched Vanille Intense, a new addition to the Les Magnifiques collection:
Racy and incredibly natural bourbon vanilla absolu will take you miles away… An exotic tribute to the vanilla bean with a captivating rhum top note enhanced with Indonesian patchouli oil for a warm and woody dry down.

PdN don't get a lot of attention, but they are wonderful. You can often get them in 30 ml., which is even better. I'm not a vanilla fan, but I'd explore this anyway–not just for the patch, but for the things she can do to a juice.
I'm not a huge vanilla fan either, but Vanille Tonka is gorgeous. Looking forward to trying this one!
Oh, my, looking forward to trying this one. I'm a PdN fan in general and Vanille Tonka is my HG vanilla so far. It does sadden me to see 30 mls going for $75; BH used to have the 30 ml bottles for under $40, and a couple were only $25 (and not that long ago.) The line is well worth it for the quality, though.
I'm looking forward to this one, PdN's scents are so often overlooked, it's a shame! Lovely, well-designed, decent lasting power and reasonably priced as well. One can't beat that!
Yay! Another PdN to try. I have such fun with this line and even if I don't think I'm a fan of a particular note she does great things with them.
Most of the 30 ml bottles are $40-45 — only the Magnifiques collection scents are this expensive. I join you in wishing everything cost what it did 2-3 years ago though!
Agree w/ all of that, SFLizbeth.
I'm a fan of this line, and wish they had better distribution here in the US (and nicer packaging, only because the packaging doesn't live up to the juice). I adore Vanille Tonka, so I'm sure I'll be trying this too.
I wish they had better distribution too. And you're right about the packaging, but I forgive it because they're one of the last bargains in niche and I wouldn't want to see them raise their prices!
Absolutely! Love the Vanille Tonka and Just un Reve…can't wait to try this one. Vanilla is a funny thing on me….either it gives up and another note takes over…like Vanille Tonka is all about incense on me…or sometimes vanilla just takes over and sucks the air out of my lungs. (it's a hard sensation to put into words)
In fact, now that I'm thinking about Vanille Tonka, I think I'll dash over to scentsplits and see if anyone is offering decants of it….if not I suppose I'll have to see if anyone wants to split with me….is there a way to direct deposit paychecks right to perfume companies??? (sigh)
I love, love, love PdN. In fact, Sacrebleu is my current HG scent (which has shocked me cause I never thought I'd actually be able to say this about ANY scent). I'm excited to try this one – Vanille Intense! I love vanilla fragrances when they are combined with other notes. I don't particularly care for the straight vanillas…but the patchouli and wood notes in VI intrigue me. I LOVE L'Artisan's Vanilia, and have heard Vanille Tonka is similar – so, I definitely need to get my hands on that one, too. Of the PdNs, I also have Eau Turquoise, Juste en Reve, Le Temps d'Une Fete, and Cococabana. Odalisque will probably be my next purchase…unless one of these vanilla scents blows me away.
Wow, you have quite a PdN collection! I think I only have 4 of them at the moment (Eau d'Ete, Balle de Match, Balkis Light, Eau Exotique), but would certainly like to have more.
I only own New York from this line, which is real nice BTW.
I typically buy another one whenever Beautyhabit has its 25% off sales. Great way to stock up.
Good call K. I'm interested in the Vanilla Intense and the previous one too.
Beautyhabit has 25% off sales??? how frequently? maybe I should hold off buying a PdN until then?
Hi Daisy. Yes!!! I think they're typically twice a year. Last year they had one in June, and another in November. Plus, they usually have other deals scattered throughout the year.
At the very least, someone should set up a layaway program at Scent Splits!
Great scent. Not “me”, really, but a great scent. Would really like to have a bottle of the Chateau whatever-its-called.
