Cap Néroli ‘on the French Riviera’ is a tribute to the bitter-orange cultivation of the Côte d’Azur. I imagined the scent of a point of land running into the sea and having the sweet name of Cap Néroli!’ Patricia de Nicolaï.

Head to the French Riviera for a stroll in the lush gardens of the Mediterranean on the first sunny days of spring. In the shade of palm trees, the dazzling freshness of lemon mingles with fresh mint leaves and lemongrass. It is in this colourful picture that a green and slightly acidic verbena emerges. The sea spray, joined by the scent of thyme from the scrub and a delicate fragrance of jasmine, splashes it at the water’s edge. Riviera Verbena is a radiant, luminous and invigorating breeze whose natural elegance is faithful to the NICOLAÏ signature

This wood is a fabulous raw material’ said Patricia de Nicolaï. ‘In a chord, its role is similar to that of a viola in an orchestra – the instrument that leads all the others’. The patchouli is surrounded by an oriental background trimmed with incense and spices. But it avoids lapsing into ordinariness, with its combination of lavender and pelargonium contrasting with the dark wood.
