Rosa Nobile

What a beautiful rose perfume! It is absolutely gorgeous. I have been searching for the perfect rose scent for a while. I have tried a lof of perfumes from Red Roses to Lipstock Rose, from Serge Luten's roses to Diptyque Eau Rose, Stella and Paris. In my opinion none of them smelled even close to fresh living roses. There is a beautiful period house across the street from my apartment. Every summer, in the front-yard of this building there grow the most beautiful roses I have ever seen. They are large, warm, fresh, lively, flirting, inviting and colourful. Whenever I walk pass I stop and smell those beautiful roses which to me are the most precious jewels of our neighborhood. Now we are in the middle of the winter. The rose bushes are tucked away under the glittery quilt of snow. I spray my Rosa Nobile once and see and feel the delicate rose petals open up slowly and let their beautiful scent warm the cold air. I know that it is not possible to create a perfume that smells exactly like fresh roses, but Acqua Di Parma seems to have captured the beautiful spirit of a young living rose and put it in a bottle. I liked this perfume when I sampled it but to be honest I did not think I would fall in love with it. Now I have my own bottle and feel I am madly in love. Like all the lovers in all the beautiful and promising love affairs I genuinely hope ours will last forever and ever and ever.

This opens with a lot of citrus. But it’s not sharp. You get rose right off the bat it’s beautiful. Drying down you get the peony And Lily of the valley. Still all the Rose citrus coming through. In the dry down at the very bottom, you get the cedar And the rose is still going, and the citrus fades a little, and you can smell the powdery violet I think that’s why people think this smells masculine. And absolutely a man could wear it. As those are traditional, male notes, cedar violet citrus. But I’m still getting the rose and it’s a sweet rose not a masculine rose. This is so well blended that anyone could wear it. It’s so gorgeous. I don’t know why people think this is weak or A simple rose, perfume. It is certainly not. It’s one of those fragrances that you can feel what the nose was doing every step of the way and it flows. It still has that aqua di Parma DNA with the citrus. Just lovely I’m surprised by how much I like this. The middle is my favorite part citrus peony rose a little cedar. The mix of the rose and the lily of the valley gives you a little white floral vibe, but not too much if you don’t like white florals this is not that. It’s just enough. This is for a woman in her prime, confident, feminine Sophisticated.

Rosa Nobile is a pretty, realistic, fresh yet sweet rose scent, best worn in warm weather. Classic feminine elegance aside, it scores bonus points for me as it evokes childhood memories. RN is rose-dominant from initial spray, light, fresh and natural-smelling, like rosewater in perfume form. There is some citric freshness up top, complementing the rose. Bright yet well-rounded, the rose here is lovely. As it develops, the sweet orange note becomes prominent, forming an irresistible sweet accord with the increasingly jammy rose - it reminds me of a sweet treat/cake from childhood, but frustratingly I cannot put my finger on it. Nothing encourages me to buy perfume as much as such scent memories do! It becomes powdery as it develops, with some violet emerging. A nice hint of greenness is evident in the background too. It becomes musky as it dries down, with soft, warm amber-vanilla evident as it fades. Sillage and longevity are moderate. A beautiful sweet yet lightweight rose scent, this is elegant, feminine and beautifully balanced. Bonus points for the Proustian factor, but a really good spring/summer rose scent. 4.5/5.

it's hard to describe how much I love this one I am a rose lover and this is one of the most beautiful rose dominated fragrances that I ever tested here,rose is very soft,very natural and there is no sharpness here,even in the opening part..there is nothing overdone here,nothing to cover rose's natural beauty,no citrus,no woods,no green notes,no spices,no powdery notes,not even sweetness,there are all hear but the slightest amount of them this is all about a delicate,subtle rose with a hint of soft musk..I can't detect other notes and I don't want to,I just want to douse myself in this lovely pretty rose,but for sure there are other notes here,adding freshness,a touch of clean powderyness and giving unnoticable spice,taste and a delicate silky sweetness to the overall combination I can just say I loooovvve it,love,love..very lovely to wear during springs but it's also wearable in summers and falls..it stays on my skin pretty long with moderat sillage my only sadness is about my small,miniature size bottle,I don't want this gorgeous rosey dream to end,never ever this is a must try for rose lovers

If you are on the fence with this one- wear it several times in different weather. I really love this in 80 degree weather. I adore rose, and this is the queen of my rose scents. If you are looking for realistic rose with a hint of citrus supported by gorgeous jasmine and musk, look no further. This is, in my opinion, top-shelf, high quality eau de parfum. I can tell because of the way the fragrance develops- it has a gorgeous natural rose and citrus smell for the first hour, fades a bit into the other supporting flowers (jasmine, violet, peony) the second hour, and in the remaining hours you are left with the most beautiful rosey skin musk ever. While wearing this, I get a feeling of royalty and nobleness- like it could have been worn in the 1800's by the feminine royalty of that time. I should have chosen this as my wedding scent 3 years ago (instead of Bvlgari Rose Essentielle). The longevity on my skin is easily 8-10 hours.
