First whiff was campari or a nice apertif.
Quickly settles to a beautiful oud & green party.
Very nice.

A green fresh edge to the Cambodian Oud. Patchouli and artemesia gives the oud a exotic forest feel. High quality and smooth. If this is your jam it delivers.

While Oud Sublime is definitely a more intense version of another Nicolai fragrance, it’s not Patchouli Intense, which is powdery and floral. This is essentially the Parfum/Extrait version of Incense Oud – itself a tenacious EDP and an amazing value for the price.
That said, if you’re a fan of scents that linger past the 12 hour mark, or you want to treat yourself to an absolutely gorgeous presentation, Oud Sublime can’t be beat.

To add to my comment below, it’s pointless to drop the $$ on this one when Patchouli Intense is basically the exact same fragrance. And I mean exactly the same.

Nicolai makes quality stuff no doubt. This one, to my nose, is a hefty dose of patchouli that mixes with, but somewhat overpowers, the Oud. It’s also a very linear scent.
As for the price, well, that’s subjective. To me, anything priced over $300 better have lasting power throughout the day. Something that smells great, costs $500, and then disappears in an hour isn’t worth the bottle it’s sitting in.
This one, yes, lasts all day and then some. I could easily smell it the next morning and that’s rare. I just don’t like the smell, too much patchouli and patchouli and Oud don’t mix well to my nose. So if you like it it’s probably worth a consideration for the price.

Upon first application, you get a burst of oud. Then other players join the party, mostly incense. The rose-patchouli aren’t all that obvious (thank God!), and the whole affair really is about the aromatic oud supported by incense and aromatic spices. And what a beautiful oud it is. Don’t expect anything like the in-your-face overwhelming oud of Malle’s The Night: this oud is more sophisticated and refined, less harsh, but not shy by any means: it makes its presence known and you should be careful with overspraying. It is also incredibly persistent: it lasts and lasts and it remains in the air even after you thought it was gone.
If you like refined, assertive oud-based perfumes, I’d even suggest a blind buy. Beautiful packaging also, and the price may seem high but I’d say it’s not too much considering the quality you get. Two thumbs up!
Edit: upon more wearings, the patchouli is actually a lot more prominent than I thought.

This elixir de parfum is incredibly beautiful.
If you like Oud scents and Patricia de Nicolai’s creations, you can even buy it blind. Otherwise, give it a try.
I seem to detect traces of Maharani and Patchouli Homme all wrapped up in a smooth ambery oudy veil which is only slightly sweet.
The 35 ml elixir’s price is, taking into account that real Cambodian Oud has been used (as a representative of Nicolai’s told me), and that it comes as an elixir concentration, not too high in my opinion.
Go for the real Guerlain.
