NOBILE 1942

“The idea of 1001“, the new fragrance from NOBILE 1942, says Stefania Giannino, Artistic Director for this Genovese brand, “is preciselythis sense of continuity, of waiting, of seduction by words. Nobody gives a better idea of the power of seductive story-telling than Scheherazade, the heroine in Arabian Nights, who managed to enchant the man who wanted to kill her with her 1001 tales. It was this very book, which I adore and which I discovered in the original language during my studies of Arabic at L’Orientale university, that gave me the input for 1001.”

The main player in this fragrance isPapyrus, the writing medium par excellence, since the dawn of civilisation and through to relatively recent times. The fragrance opens on a lively, bright note, with the fresh spices ofelemi, fresh ginger and pink pepperinterwoven with the juiciness ofRed tea, reflecting the optimism and patience of this woman who tells wonderful stories, night after night. The middle accord releases carnal and feminineRose. There is theCurcumaabsolute that, together withSaffron, warms its sensual floral heart​.
