Patchouli Nobile

I've yet to try anything from this house I didn't like. Everything they do I've yet tried is so tastefully and carefully done, and this beautiful patchouli is no exception. This is not a murky hippie-ish patchouli (which so many people dread), like Nag Champa; nor is it a dense chocolate-cake kind, like Reminiscence; nor is it even a green vegetal kind like Nicolai's Patchouli Intense. This is an elegant and beautifully mannered patchouli fragrance (yes, such a thing is possible!) that pulls out the deep richness of the note without overwhelming you, in part by adding a bit of grit with small amounts of pepper and incense and guaiac wood, but still keeping things classy and smooth overall with liberal amounts of sandalwood and cedar that dress it up. This is about the only fragrance I've tried where patchouli is the absolute dominant note but I could still imagine wearing it to the office (my co-workers have told me they appreciate my light use of fragrances, but they've warned me away from trying heavy patchouli on them, which they have bad associations with from their college days). It comes in a lovely Nobile 1942 bottle, too. UPDATE 10/19/23: I loved this so much I bought a full bottle, and my appreciation of it since receiving the latter has only deepened. This is a more chocolate patchouli then I had previously understood; this is still not as dense as the chocolate qualities of Reminiscence Patchouli, but even still, it has that quality. This is almost certainly the best patchouli-dominant fragrance I've yet experienced without any rose in it (although there are a series of great rose-patchouli scents).

When I first sprayed this on, I absolutely hated it. It smelled like a dirty fireplace to me. I was thinking OK, maybe this just isn't for me. It's more for a man. I wanted to immediately wash it off. Then I thought, wait, give it at least a bit of time....And WOW. I have never been so surprised by a fragrance ever. My first thoughts were negative, then a little less negative, then it completely won me over. For me, once the cedar/smokey notes mellowed out a bit, I got something rich and warm and sweet and feminine and LOVELY. So I literally had gone from hate to LOVE with this. It's a very sophisticated and warm fragrance, with a lovely creamy sweetness underneath. One of the other commenters, "javamdnss" said they liked to sleep in it and felt comforted by it. Yes! I can totally see that. There's something very calming about it. EDIT: I wrote the above review after only having worn it a few times. Now I must say, that I find myself reaching for this lovely fragrance constantly. It's become what I live in when I'm not too terribly bothered with "mood" or making a statement. It's just fabulous.

I appreciate good patchouli scents - the note feels cozy and warm while evoking head shops, Grateful Dead tees and dissipated weekend morning wake-and-bakes. But in a sophisticated scent the vibe is elevated, like enjoying all those things but in cashmere sweatpants. This is a patchouli scent so refined it plays against type with full-on elegance and formality. The patchouli is set in a sophisticated amber accord, with a touch of a clean masculine fougére. The labdanum adds beautiful resinous and chocolatey facets (and really any patch without labdanum is a sad thing). This is one patchouli to dress up in a suit for a formal dinner, without smelling like you just hotboxed your Tesla with the valet before being seated. I don’t think this will ever get as much hype as something like Psychèdèlique because it doesn’t hit you over the head. It oozes elegance and charm, but with subtlety, inviting someone to lean in and experience it. And ultimately what could be better than a scent inviting a special someone to get closer?

Surfing through the internet, I came across this fragrance which appeared to be interesting. I decided to make a blind purchase hoping I would like this fragrance. When I finally received this juice I tried it and I enjoyed the herbal/earthy blend with a sweet scent from patchouli. Afterwards, I enjoy the realistic aroma woodsy notes. Longevity and Silage is excellent lasting over 8hrs after spraying 2x on my skin. Finally, Noble Patchouli is very high quality fragrance! The price point is far more affordable, this is a top notch fragrance with a luxurious elegant aroma. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys patchouli with a hint of woodsy notes. 8/10...After I finish this bottle I'll definitely buy another bottle.

Ahhh, its 1977, and I went to the local drug store and bought the original Oleg Cassini by Jovan cologne for 10.00, and this smells exactly like it. Reminds me of such good times, dousing myself and heading to the club, Now I am 60 and I still love this smell, May not go the clubs as much, but it's one of the few colognes I wear to please me, although I do get a lot of compliments. It lasts all day, and into the evening. It Says lemon is a note, but I smell Patchouli and Incense the most. And no lemon. If you don't like Patchouli this may not be for you. But if you loved the 70s and the aroma of that time, snatch it up.

This is a top tier patchouli forward fragrance, as highly regarded as Pardon and Beau de Jour. Patchouli Nobile smells timeless and powerful. Many patchouli fragrances smell like a hippie head shop, but this one is classy and classical, giving it the versatility to be worn formally. It has a medium to strong silage and lasts all day. Patchouli is a more mature note but if you are 30+ you can wear this easily as a man in cooler climates. There's not much I would change about Patchouli Nobile. The patchouli is well rounded with amber and smoke accords from labdanum and incense. I think it's perfect. 😍

Patchouli Nobile is a deep, powerfull, dark and sensual oriental woody perfume. Its all about vivid smoky patchouli with warm earthy notes. It is long lasting, over 6 hours and the sillage is realy heavy. Very nice for winter, autumn and cold spring days. The most distinguished notes are vivid labdanum, vivid patchouli, sandalwood, oakmoss, jasmine, tonka bean but I do not get any lemon note. The other notes are not so strong but exist. Generally is an elegant and thrilling woody scent worth to buy. A masterpiece!!

Was the last that Mr. Stefania made me sniff, I DO NOT I LOVE PATCHOULI, and what about STUNNING FABULOUS, it is very animal, woody undergrowth, but it is on the skin that something wonderful, of course every free skin a different fragrance, but Patchouli Nobile is on my fantasctica I fell in love, it's like musk of Acampora much more complicated, it is a humid forest in the morning, you bend excavations in the leaves earth one piece of luggage ... and Patchouli that makes it all so imaginative.

For about half a year i own this fragrance and I fully enjoy it. It's masculene, quite powerfull, enduring, warm and charismatic. But unless whiskered on more than once, not overwhelming. The scent gives a feeling of heightenedness, but absolutely not in a bad manner. This is the kind of fragrence I like using when visiting a ball or teaching students at work. One to try, but let it rest for an hour on your skin before deciding.

At certain stages, this smells like a fougere with a prominent patchouli note, and I love it! I've been on a patchouli kick lately, and this is different enough from the others I have to have warranted a full bottle. It's very easy to wear, it's elegant, masculine, and I would think fairly mass pleasing. The longevity is good, and projection seems moderate. The bottle is cool too! I rate it a 9 out of 10..

This is one of my favorite Patchouly fragrances. This one is earthy and sharp, sensual and dark, thrilling and mysterious, animal and almost disturbing. An elegant, oriental woody perfume, fantastic for true patchouli lovers. Sharp orange opening and than smoky patchouli, patchouli, patchouli, musk and some other sweet scent that I can not find out what it is. Anyway..it is a fantastic perfume !!!!

I adore this! I have a few patchouli scents but when I put this on, I fell deeply in love. It's honey-ish, and has a slight meadow grass or wildflower smell to me, but mostly it's warm-delicious-I want to bathe in you-Patchouli. Many nights I wear this to bed too for comfort. When I've had a bad day, I climb into bed early with a book and this perfume. It's a bit of Heaven.

At the start, I think you get what you expect. A very nice and not overly sweet or sticky patchouli. But, then, as someone noted earlier, it becomes something much more classy, masculine and niche smelling. It keep getting wafts of myself and really liking it. It is MUCH less patchouli-esque as it sits on the skin. I like it. A lot.

This is not a review, because mine is below, but I see they are selling this at Macy's now, and this was on their site, as per the notes: Top Notes: Mountain Air, Lemon, White Pepper, Incense Middle Notes: Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, Cistus, Jasmine Petals Bottom Notes: Atlas Cedarwood, Patchouli, Amber, Tonka Bean, Oakmoss, Sandalwood

I'm really enjoying this one. Lovely warm masculine patchouli based out with a bit of smoky wood and what I assume is labdanum resin. And it feels like there's a musk or something which I can feel rather than smell, in common with other fragrances of the house. It was great to get wafts of this stuff off myself during the day.

Patchouli Nobile is my favorite patchouli fragrance. It is very well blended and the patchouli is sweet and earthy at the same time. When it dries down it turns woody and I feel elegant and sophisticated. The patchouli is there throughout the day and it lasts a long time on me. I also get a LOT of compliments when I wear it.

This is a GLORIOUS patchouli. Everything that the earthy wet patchouli should be. I’m surprised people think this is more masculine. Its not, its just wet and sexy. Labdanum supporting in its wonderful earthy round full way with the citruses adding lightness and spark. So much oomph. Love this. Gorgeous bottle also.

Perfect patchouli scent for colds and fall. Its opening Intense patchouli and after secret fresh notes coming out. The best I've tried for a long time Patchouli scent. Also its one step ahead of coromandel. Scent: 9,5/10 Long: 9/10 Sillage: 8/10

Exactly as described but in a very light and low-silage way. I was looking for something a bit more loud and dark/rich/resinous. It is a great scent but just not the depth and silage that I wanted out of a patchouli.
