With ‘Vespri Aromatico’ by Nobile 1942, we find ourselves in the ancient Kingdom of Sicily: the historic and romantic scenery is filled with the heroic deeds of ancient times, which inspired so many novels, poems, songs, but also sensational fragrances.
A silvery, masculine armada of citrus fruits greets us: bergamot, lemon, grapefruit and mandarin in the top notes are welcomed by a fruity orange in the heart. But immediately, a variety of notes are added: jasmine, neroli, petitgrain, wormwood and red berries dance in the heart, giving the fragrance its characteristic complexity. This dazzling play of colours demands an appropriate base, and sandalwood, benzoin, oakmoss, patchouli and ambergris were deemed worthy of underpinning this fragrance.
This country is so rich in historical cultures, full of contrasts and ambiguities, and was not only the inspiration for ‘Vespri Esperidati’, but is also successfully reproduced by this fragrance.
