From your scent profile
Nicolaï pour Homme is a green, woody fougère for men that ties the freshness of orange, galbanum and mint to the earthy depth of oakmoss and tobacco.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

What does Nicolaï pour Homme smell like?
It opens fresh and green with orange, galbanum and mint. In the heart, lavender, jasmine and geranium add a floral, powdery softness. The base leans on oakmoss, tobacco and cedarwood, while ambergris, fir balsam and labdanum bring a resinous warmth that keeps it earthy and spicy.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, then spring, and leisure, evening and business wear all come up. It reads masculine and classic, and it has been discontinued.
