Maharanih Intense
Eau de Parfum
by PARFUMS DE NICOLAI



The Scoop
Maharanih is the latest creation by Patricia de Nicolaï, a descendant of Pierre Guerlain and founder of Parfums de Nicolaï. This elegant, both brisk and sensual perfume is an aromatic woody amber perfume suffused with the freshness of lavender and the luminosity of bitter orange radiating through the sweet warmth of the amber and spices. A perfume of contrasts, it evokes at first the heat of the sun naturally enhancing the aromas of an Indian garden à la Shalimar, even suggesting decay and indolic sensuality, before a breeze gently caressing the murmuring fountains, the tranquil orange groves and the herbs, comes cooling down the sensations. There are also delectable and subtle gourmand undertones of dark chocolate and bergamot-scented Earl Grey tea of which one would love to take a refreshing sip. Maharanih is a deliciously warm, semi-sweet citrusy and aromatic scent with dry accents, which smells distinctive in an understated way. Its undeniable sensuality is tempered by elegance, offering enough tonic notes to make it suitable for day or night.

When I first smelled Maharanih Intense, I thought I preferred the original version. I like that girly, powdery haziness of the earlier formulation. But my opinion has changed and I am in love with Maharnih Intense! I think the Shalimar reference in the description above is a good one. Although Maharanih smells nothing like Shalimar, they share a similar presence/size. If I hadn't recently dropped some serious coin on the beautiful Un Coeur en Mai, I would buy a full bottle of this immediately. The orange that opens the scent is candied but also feels juicy. I'm tempted to say it's almost an un-sweet gourmand, but I worry that may scare gourmand haters away (I was once in that camp, but not more), and I'm not sure if that's contradictory. The cinnamon and clove (which I prefer as supporting roles in perfume) are discernible, but not overpowering- they come in and out in such a lovely, playful way. I think this scent would also work very well on a man. Like all of the PdN fragrances I have tried, Maharanih is both very unique, but classical in its composition.

I'm a lover of amber, cinnamon and clove so I hoped I'd like this one. Unfortunately on my skin the orange is extremely pronounced overshadowing every other note except for the amber. The result is a candied citrus fragrance which is a smell I can't stand and after 1 hour I had to shower to get rid of it.

Something bitter in here that I just can't get past...

I do prefer Maharanih intense. Maharanih (normal) is a demure creation that contains all the strengh of a well crafted oriental. It takes time to organize its charms on the blotter : pleasing orange accord, heartcatching rose, mesmerizing oriental spice (cinnamon, cloves), on an amber base of sandalwood and vanilla of great quality. I you spritz Maharanih intense, rose and orange greet you with such strengh that you fall in glee.

this is a rather surprising and surprisingly lovely and unusal fragrance. it's aromtic and slightly sweet over dry, woody and herbal notes. a new favorite (and i *do* love the scent of bitter orange. not the blossom, but the fruit.)

I really wanted to like this with the nice spicy base notes. Unforunately something didn't agree with my body chemistry and it smelled like soft-flowery soap. No thanks.

my olfactory nerves must be differently configured than the other reviewers here. I really thought i would like this, given the ingredients and glowing reviews. but all i can smell is clove, clove, clove. ok, and a bit of geranium (which i normally like). on me, this stuff smells like good 'n plenty. now, i gather from a recent study, that men like this scent but i cannot bear it. ugh.

Geranium--you could chase me from here to Alabama with it. Can't stand it. But in this juice, it is transformed to a green, bitter grass that is calmed down by orange. The dry down is beautiful. The top is delightful. I'm giving the middle a go, because the rest is lovely.

Patricia de Nicolai creates beautiful fragrances, and this one is gorgeous! I did not appreciate it when I first dabbed it on, but a bit of patience paid off, because the drydown is simply lovely. I smell the bitter orange, the smoky tea and a touch of dusty dark chocolate at the base. A winner!
