Gucci Nobile, from Gucci was released in 1988. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Lavender, Lemon, Nutmeg, Rosemary, and Tarragon, middle notes of Carnation, Cyclamen, Fir, Geranium, Green Notes, Jasmine, and Rose, and base notes of Amber, Cedarwood, Musk, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Vetiver.
Does this really smell like Drakkar Noir? (I'm not slagging off DN BTW...I like it) NO! it definitely doesn't to me. Nobile is an interesting green, citrus chypre/fougere/cologne with that warm, rounded base, perhaps some sandalwood chiming in after a typically fresh and mossy start. I find it invigorating, quality men's business, lightly spiced and more complex than I can even bother to describe. Nobile is not a fragrance that one needs to spend a great deal of time explaining or describing. Nobile is manly, straight forwardly functional but not without Italian flair. Nobile just is. If you can find it and you love a good quality men's throwback fragrance that I defy you to find fault with then.... DON'T seek out Nobile, because I want that bottle you are watching on eBay. ;)
