Sacrebleu Intense Parfums de Nicolaï for women

Call me nuts, but the topnotes on this smell like a blend of Guerlain's L'Heure Bleue and Smarties--you know, those colored, super-sweet candies that come in a roll. It is melancholy but energizing, sweet yet with a great mellow depth, really a mezmerizing fragrance.

After an hour or two, the tonka bean, patchouli, sandalwood and olibanum lilt along the edge of a vanilla that is neither quite sweet nor spicy. It feels rich, sensual and downright sexy. It reminds me of late afternoon sun drifting through the curtains after a lover's rendevous. There is something hypnotic about this blend, and I find myself lingering with my arm up to my nose long enough to wonder how long I've held this pose. Suddenly I feel as if I enjoy the longing for past lovers for pure memories' sake. I cannot at this point decide if it is slightly melancholy (L'Heure Bleue?) or if it is rather dusky and languid. Oooooh, how I love it!

This goes on the "must have" list.

I have tried both Sacrebleu and Sacrebleu Intense. I prefer the original Sacrebleu because it is more versatile, elegant, and smells somewhat similar to classic Guerlain fragrances.

Sacrebleu Intense smells very similar to Vanille Intense, also by PdN, which I already own. They both have a slight holiday candle vibe. Overall, Sacrebleu Intense is a very pleasing fragrance with cinnamon dominating the compisition, but just not as wearable or mature as Sacrebleu.

I don't notice any difference in lasting power between Sacrebleu and Sacrebleu Intense.

A fruit and floral aroma that embraces you with power, quality and exuberance.
The heart is beautifully made of jasmine and tuberose, going to a soft side of the fragrance, surrounded by peru balm, olibanum (frankincense), woods and a delightful vanilla.
Starts completely feminine and then goes to a more unisex scent during its evolution on the skin. Fierce yet delicate, strong yet romantic…nice work!

Rather a light hearted version of L'HEURE BLEUE, in feel anyway. Maybe this is a subliminal thought knowing that Patricia is a descendent of the Guerlain family. I lOVE LHB, but I'm sensitive as to how it's percieved by others. Therefore, it has become a rather melancholy favorite to admire and appreciate on a personal level. SACREBLEU INTENSE is a wonderful sweet soft and playful choice, one could wear if reluctant to venture out in LHB. I'm adding this one and KISS ME TENDER to my collection.

I got this sample from the lovely Carnation. I smell hot spice! This is warm and intense and perfect for me. There is a sweetness to it that could be vanilla but its not cloying. This is a perfect combination of the things I love, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla and Spice (must be the cinnamon) I love it!

Sweet,juicy fruity opening,but I could not detect any spices throughout this at all. A couple of members commented that they thought the original reminded them of Juicy Fruit gum, but this version does not smell like it at all. It doesn't even come close. It's probably one of the worst I have smelled-cloying and rubbery would describe this perfectly.

I get cinnamon, but the horrid thing is that on my skin it smells like a cheap cinnamon candle.

You ever been to a candle store, and then felt a bit yuck after smelling a tonne of candles? That's this scent on my skin, unfortunately. :(

Hmmm, no. Opening is sweet orange, then comes cinnamon that has a very synthetic feel to me. A whisper of flowers, then some Tonka in the dry down. Average longevity and projection. L'huere bleu made me realize that I have a strong desire to smell like carnations and I was hoping this would be an interesting, well rounded composition with a clear carnation note, but it seems to have been hidden by the cinnamon. So disappointed.

Simply a little golden poem and being so it can be destined both to kings and queens! I consider it more a spicy oriental fragrance than a fruity one (yes, there's also a touch a fruit but always keeping the right measure). Sacrebleu Int. is beautiful because of that huge amount of carnation and tuberose together with a quantity of smart, soft and fine vanilla which seems to me a little dusty, tender/sweet BUT no sugary at all, and that's why I love it. Mainly suggested to all those patient perfumistas: the components here are mostly natural (look at the colour of the liquid so avoid the contact with clear shirts!) that's why it takes its time to "warm up" and consequently to be appreciated as it deserves. For your good: avoid quick choices! ; )
Great during the middle seasons not only in winter and lasting also.

hey i noticed that lucky scents.com has listed this notes:

black currant bud, peach blossom, jasmine, tuberose, vanilla, tonka bean, Yemenese incense.. wich sounds interesting!

This is one of my all time favorites. Now with the intense concentration it became perfect, cause i can have a more rewarding liaison with it. I Wear it right now and it's heaven!It starts with a very fleeting but round and juicy mandarin note and it turns very quicly into a paradise floral spiked with the warmth of cinnamon. Exciting, nocturnal creature( although i wear it allday long) with a velvety pillowy drydown of tonka bean.Every drop counts!

This is also a rewiev for the normal version.

Everything about this fragrance sounds good, the notes make me curios and interesting but when I try it, it dosn´t really work on me. The berries turns out watery and bland, the cinnamon becomes a bit dusty and weak. I don´t detect any tuberose in it at all. Something in it smells like schampoo. The best part in this fragrance is the carnation, it is spicy but not overpowering.

On me it isn´t so longlasting, about average (around 4 hours).

I feel like it is more because skinchemistry, than that this is a "bad" fragrance. I guess it could turn out wonderful for the right person.

I also have the normal version. It so hard for me to detect what I'm smelling in this perfume. I'm not sure I can get the cinnamon at all really. But its a lovely, warm scent. This one is extremly longlasting om me. Yesterday I put it on in the early morning and it lasted until I went to bed late.

This reviev is for Sacrebleu "normal", not intence, but intence is only more stronger so...

I do get the cinnamon all the way from the start, first with berries, then with flowers. And its good thing if you like cinnamon in fragrance like I do. In some hours cinnamon/carnations fade and then its creamy white floral with soft base. I'm in love with this stuff right now. Not very lasting or strong, so maybe the "intence" is best option to buy.
