Il Capriccio del Maestro

AMAZING! Ambre Narguile on steroids. Sooo pretty, i’m in love. Sweet honey, cinnamon, rum and a bit of tobacco. Very good performance, i’m impressed. Worth every penny, it’s also extrait de parfum. Leans feminine imo. This house has many gems, I’m a fan :D

EN. "Il Capriccio del Maestro by Nobile 1942 is a fragrance that stands out for its warm and comforting aura. It opens with a rich blend of vanilla and spices, quickly followed by the distinct note of tobacco. This combination creates a direct and straightforward scent, reminiscent of the renowned Tobacco Vanille, but with a slightly less sweet undertone. The trio of honey, cinnamon, and tonka bean creates a sweet and toasted accord, evoking a sense of familiarity and comfort. As the rum note becomes more pronounced, the fragrance takes on a new dimension, becoming even more captivating. The interplay of cinnamon, tonka bean, vanilla, benzoin, and various spices creates a rich and complex scent profile that is both intriguing and comforting. Despite its complexity, the fragrance remains balanced and harmonious, making it a versatile choice for various occasions. Its longevity is impressive, lasting for over eight hours without significant changes in its scent profile." IT. "Il Capriccio del Maestro di Nobile 1942 è una fragranza che si distingue per la sua aura calda e confortante. Si apre con un ricco mix di vaniglia e spezie, seguito rapidamente dalla nota distintiva del tabacco. Questa combinazione crea un profumo diretto e semplice, che ricorda il rinomato Tobacco Vanille, ma con un sottotono leggermente meno dolce. Il trio di miele, cannella e fava tonka crea un accordo dolce e tostato, evocando un senso di familiarità e comfort. Man mano che la nota di rum diventa più pronunciata, la fragranza assume una nuova dimensione, diventando ancora più affascinante. L'interazione di cannella, fava tonka, vaniglia, benzoino e varie spezie crea un profilo olfattivo ricco e complesso che è sia intrigante che confortante. Nonostante la sua complessità, la fragranza rimane equilibrata e armoniosa, rendendola una scelta versatile per varie occasioni. La sua longevità è impressionante, dura oltre otto ore senza cambiamenti significativi nel suo profilo olfattivo.

Very sultry and warm. Though it's not Angel's Share's twin, it's very much that genre of warm spice, and if you like those types of scents, I think this is a pretty safe blind buy. It's warm and cozy, yet has a smokey, mysterious edge to it. Though I wouldn't call it groundbreaking, it does what it sets out to do really well, and what started out as a free sample, has turned into a lovely discovery, and pleasant wearing experience. Edit: It seems to only come in the blue bottle now? It's a nice bottle, but I think the red represents it way better... I wonder why they seem to have changed that.

I'd been interested in this for a long time, but without the opportunity to sample first I'd put off a blind buy until now. In simple terms, if you know Ambre Narguile from Hermes, or Kilian's Angel's Share, then you understand the 'warm spicy' nature of Il Capriccio del Maestro. Il Capriccio del Maestro comes across as 'warmer' with more cinnamon I think, and the tobacco hiding beneath has a bite to it that I wouldn't have expected from the creamy vanillic notes that accompany it. The honey seems restrained which is good, as I think some fragrances (like Xerjoff Naxos and particularly Profumi del Forte's Toscanello, that have tobacco, rum, and vanilla) overdo the honey. What also makes Il Capriccio del Maestro.special for me (apart from the Giacomo Puccini reference) is the lack of citrus top notes. Men's perfumery is often so boring, citrus top notes and woody cedar base notes are beyond cliché. It's part of the reason why I like Il Capriccio del Maestro as much as I do, even though I own Angel's Share and Ambre Narguile. My bottle is aqua blue in colour that doesn't seem to match the warm spicy nature of the fragrance, although the bottle shown here is a dramatic red.

I love this! This is potent incredible stuff right here. It does bear a striking resemblance to Ambre Narguile. It has similarities also with Angels share but they are not the same. It’s much closer to Ambre and between this and angels share, you could own both as I do without feeling redundant. Truthfully I always wanted to buy Ambre Narguile but the performance blows so I never have. Now finally I found a great substitute which I think is even better. The performance on this is out of this world. It is STRONG. People will smell you before you walk in the room and it lasts for a long time too with such a beautiful trail. On clothes this won’t come out until you launder them. I’m very impressed by the quality of this, it’s so deliciously smooth, sweet and spicy. For fans of Angels Share or Ambre Narguile I’d say you could blind buy this safely as I did with no regrets!

I like it, for the same reason I like Ambre narguille or the frankly better (sorry Hermes) PdM Oajan because this is almost identical and for all intents and purposes it is. I detect a slightly sweeter more Spicebomb like opening to this but soon the tobacco and honied, cinnamon spice starts to flow and bam! It’s Oajan. This is a tried and tested idea, a warm, sweet and dare I say it for danger of sounding twee, but cute, cozy and even snuggly fragrance. It’s comforting and obviously telegraphs you wearing perfume as its thick, chunky silage cloud, blankets you. Not sure how relevant this Nobile effort is but if you happen across it I wouldn’t blame anyone for being arrested by this.

Wowza this ones got some great notes,gonna try to get a hold of this and get back with a review.
