Discover Ambre Cashmere Intense by NICOLAÏ, a Unisex Intense Eau de Parfum designed to evoke the enveloping softness of cashmere against the skin. Black pepper, mandarin and lemon create a vibrant opening before orris butter, violet and clove emerge at the heart, settling into vanilla, labdanum, benzoin, tonka bean, patchouli, musk and amber.
Perfumer and House founder Patricia de Nicolaï created Ambre Cashmere from a desire to compose a fragrance as soft and comforting as a cashmere sweater. The warmth of amber is paired with delicate iris, while patchouli and musk reinforce its enveloping character and mandarin with pepper gives the fragrance a contemporary lift.
Launched in 2015, Ambre Cashmere marked the first creative collaboration between Patricia de Nicolaï and her son Axel Michau de Nicolaï. Specialist references document the fragrance as Unisex.
