Olfactory portrait of a Gentleman – 1946
“A fougère accord that for its time was avant-garde. With aquatic, sparkling, evocative top notes of fizzy water and bitter soda to accentuate his positive vision of the future.
A fougère accord that symbolises his devotion to his family, because it is in itself a reference to nature as sanctuary, thanks to its notes of natural origin.
A fougère accord that appeared for the first time in the late nineteenth century in two innovative fragrances by two illustrious Maisons, which, however, was not successful until the Sixties when its progressive notes saw it become a contemporary classic. This highlighted his aperture to the world, his interest in realities other than Italy.
A fougère accord to reveal his great charm and search for that special detail that made him attractive. This is a man who stands out for his sophistication. He wears a fragrance that belongs to nobody, emphasising his individuality, courage and strong personality, attractive to many women.
Finally, a fougère accord for his link with tradition. The past guides him, in order to build a better future. A past made up of evocative smells such as tobacco, the scent of shaving cream, notes of vanilla and the tonka bean” — press release of the brand. Fougère Nobile was launched in 2015.

Fresh green, yet deliciously musky. Gorgeous projection (yet with tastefully moderate sillage), and it lasts and lasts on both skin and clothing. Two sprays is plenty. The first fragrance I have deemed worth buying a full bottle of. I hope to find similar delights in every category of modern perfumery.

Fougère Nobile is part of the unisex collection, which has as presentation pattern the metallized label, 100ml bottles and a box whose print refers to the geometric pattern of stone façades of historical palaces, churches and cathedrals, as a tribute to Liguria, land that adopted the company. This line is called I Rigati (The Stripes) and currently has six perfumes available, since Lavanda Nobile is no longer produced.
Fougère Nobile was released in 2015 and had, as a creative concept, to portray the style of the gentleman of an era, more precisely, 1946. The background to the emergence of the creative concept speaks of a visit involving Umberto and his son, Vittorio, to his tailor in the city of Turin on June 11th, 1946. At the time, fabrics such as Tweed and Oxford had just arrived from London and soon became indispensable articles in the attire of the distinguished lords of high society. And it was there, in this studio, that little Vittorio saw a bottle and sprayed on his father a fragrance that, according to the tailor, symbolized the “scent of rebirth”, referring to the formation of the Republic.
Fougère Nobile makes you forget everything you believe you know about fougère perfumes, constructed with notes of bergamot, lavender and an oakmoss base. Here, there is a connection with tradition and present times, like the dream of a better future. That was what the tailor was talking about in naming the scent of rebirth.
The fragrance features notes of lavender, bergamot, basil absolute and black pepper, which blend with notes of elemi, geranium and Aldehyde C12, on a creamy base of tobacco, vetiver, tonka bean, patchouli, sandalwood and white musk.
This C12 Aldehyde is the name given to synthetic composed of a 12-carbon chain. It is more used in fine perfumery and gives volume and strength to the fragrance, even expanding its projection power. In the case of C12 (or C12 MNA) the result usually pulls towards the sweet, unlike the metallized content of C11 aldehyde, for example.
On the skin, Fougère Nobile is more than a story, but a way to review concepts. There is a mixture between the green and the almondy; the balsamic and the floral; the creamy and the menthol. Although it has not presented distinct steps in my skin, it is a multifaceted and timeless perfume. Every time I wear this fragrance, I feel like it’s a more current version of the classic Pour Un Homme de Caron (1934).
I can feel an old school effect, nuances of fragrances that go back to the smell of barbershop, the mentholated side of the geranium, the creaminess of the tonka bean, the sugary sweetness of tobacco, etc. And everything works in a very cozy and elegant way. And the best part is: although it tries to portray the gentleman, it is not an exclusively male fragrance.
Fougère Nobile portrays well the image of the one who values the family, is wise and thirsty for knowledge; has sensitivity and considers himself a genuine romantic; that man who exudes charm and does not wear conventional fragrances or those that became trend or hype.

Başlangıç kısmındaki lavantanın geri çekilmesi sonrasında koku oldukça güzelleşiyor. Kalıcılık ve performansı iyi. Kullanılan tütün oldukça güzel ve tonka fasülyesi ile birlikte kararında bir tatlılıkla buluşunca daha da güzel oluyor. Oldukça rafine ve değişken yapıda bir iş diyebilirim.
Açılışında lavanta önderliğinde pek de acı olmayan bir bergamot karabiber ve oldukça rutubetli bir vetiver hissettim. Sonrasında orta notalara geçmesi yaklaşık 1-2 saat sürdü. Lavantanın geri çekilmesi ile ortaya oldukça kararında bir tatlılık ile tonka fasülyesi çıktı. Bunun yanına kadifemsi bir tütün de eklenince orta notalarından itibaren bambaşka ve güzel bir koku ortaya çıktı.
Lavanta olmasaydı başlangıcı da sevebilirdim. Ancak koku güzelliği ve fiyat/performans olarak kesinlikle tavsiye edebilirim.

Since I discovered Nobile 1942 I have been very satisfied with their fragrances. Fougere Nobile is no exeption, it smells delightful. The relaxing lavender with the tobacco and tonka bean. I can also smell the geranium. It is a quality fragrance, elegant and sophisticated.

Again Nobile 1942 creates a small masterpiece of elegance and quality.
Tobacco, lavender, vetiver and tonka bean create a delicious fougere that leaves a trail of delicious fragrance and evokes security in us and in those we meet.
Persistence is excellent.
Really a perfume that differs from the mass of gourmand / synthetic fragrances that has flooded the market.

What a distinctive fragrance…Tobacco & Lavender, with a waft of Tonka. Genius to put the Pepper with Musk, like the weight to a balloon, like a grounded cloud, lovely.
edj163Unlogrere – :
Ancora una volta Nobile 1942 crea un piccolo capolavoro di eleganza e di qualità.
Il tabacco, la lavanda, il vetiver e la fava di tonka creano un fougere delizioso che lascia una scia di profumo buonissima e che evoca sicurezza in noi e in chi incontriamo.
La persistenza è ottima.
Veramente un profumo che si differenzia dalla massa di profumi gourmand/sintetici che ha invaso il mercato.

It’s a traditional fougere made with good ingredients, although something about it is a bit cloying to my nose. It might be the way the lavender, tobacco, and aldehydes (listed in the notes on Luckyscent) combine in the opening to form a very soapy, somewhat sharp accord. After the opening settles down, though, it progresses to more of a tobacco-forward mid and semi-leathery base, although leather isn’t listed in the notes.
If you’re a fan of soapy fougeres or lavender- or tobacco-heavy fragrances, it’s worth checking out.

It’s like a tobacco sweet peppery fragrance that has geranium and a delicate sweet essence in between. very acceptable and quite gentle. Not vintage type but the modern sophisticated one.
