Perdizione

"Slightly Sweet Neroli Lavender Vanilla" LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS! Attention everyone who loves scents such as Kilian Love don't be shy, Memo Paris Sintra, Parle Moi Guimauve de Noel and L'Artisan Seville a l'Aube (discontinued) and Kilian Sweet Redemption (discontinued): Check out Nobile 1942 Perdizione! Perdizione is a sweet orange blossom vanilla scent, that starts off with lavender and bergamot at the top, which then becomes a sweet orange blossom vanilla fragrance once it dries down. It is so reminiscent of the fragrances I listed (reminiscent not the same) above AND it is housed in an attractive bottle (with a nice spray mechanism), has moderate longevity and sillage AND is less expensive (not cheap but a lot less). It's a beautiful scent that smells natural and not as artificial as Love don't be shy. I love the way it weaves in and out of the notes pyramid, I enjoy smelling the space between notes and individual notes separately for the first hour. There’s an airy natural and herbal/fresh quality before it hits the sweeter dry down. Perdizione is a delicious and crowd pleasing little gem. I blind bought this and am absolutely thrilled with it. Notes: I spray about 6-8x to get moderate sillage and longevity. I’d describe this as both fresh + sweet (kind of the way Mon Guerlain is like that, but not similar to Mon Guerlain, just that similar "fresh and sweet" personality). I love Perdizione 10/10. This scent profile is so totally my jam. Literally thinking of purchasing a back-up just in case (even though I just bought a bottle). With so many of my faves being reformulated or discontinued back-ups have become a necessary thing. PS: just wanted to say don't be afraid of the lavender note in this. It's nothing like the bug spray in Mon Guerlain. Also for additional point of reference, Perdizione reminds me the most of L'Artisan Seville a l'Aube and Memo Paris Sintra because it has a much stronger herbal/aromatic and citrusy character than Kilian Love don't be shy. It's much more natural, green, and bright smelling than Love don't be shy.

I LOVE most orange blossom notes in fragrances. And I LOVE Memo Paris "Sintra." As an aside, I also own and LOVE Montale "Orange Flowers." But Orange Flowers is discontinued and becoming impossible to find. The notes in Perdizione are rather similar to the notes in Orange Flowers. Perdizione is available at one, or two of the online perfume discounters. So, Perdizione opens very similarly to Paris Memo "Sintra" & Montale "Orange Flowers" but with a noticeable gentler "bite" than both those fragrances AND mush less sweetness than Sintra. Perdizione opens with citrus, as Orange Flowers does. Sintra also has petitgrain in its opening, which lends to some immediate bitterness. Perdizione has petitgrain in its mid-notes. After its citrus opening, Perdizione shines with mid-floral notes of lavender, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose. Sintra has the resinous middle going on, which I admit I love a lot. Perdizione has a bit of musk in its base. To my nose, Predizione is somewhat more floral in its middle and gentler in its drydown than Sintra. And as anyone who owns Sintra knows, Sintra is a VERY sweet, gourmand fragrance, which Perdizione is not. The most noticeable differences between Sintra and Perdizione are the dry downs. Sintra has a milky, creamy, lactonic, vanilla base. Orange Flowers has a woody, earthy, slightly creamy, slightly dirty base. Perdizione is not overtly lactonic or creamy, which makes its drydown much less sweet than Sintra. Perdizione's dry down is musky, arid, slightly powdery and very dry. And while cedar is listed as a base note, I do not detect much woodiness in Perdizione's dry down base. Perdizione's notes somehow magically blend and merge. This perfume is definitely a fragrance whose sum is greater than its individual parts. Performance is excellent 6+ hours and silage is minimal-to-moderate. The dry down is heavenly. So so so so happy I just purchased (another) 75ml bottle @ $150.00 USD. Bought Perdizione along with Il Giardino Delle Delizie. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

This is a beautifully composed fragrance. I remember a long time ago I bought a roller ball fragrance from some stand in a flea market. It was called fruit loops or something. This reminds me of that, although it is much more refined and obviously has higher quality ingredients. This smells expensive, and of course the price point matches. But I think it is well worth it. Just applying it, I could tell this will have great longevity. (I will update this review if it does not.) I can smell it pretty consistently as I go about my day. I haven't gone nose blind to it and on the dry down it hasn't started to disappear yet. Although I referred to this as "fruit loopy," I don't want you to be scared off by that description. It just has a strong fruit component, but it is not overly sweet because it has been balanced with drier and less sweet notes like cedar and a little bit of lavender. I do not sense too much musk or rose, but it's probably underlying. It is more orange blossom, other citrus, a little vanilla and cedar. I like that this could be an all purpose scent that can be worn any time. You will definitely brighten up wherever you are. I also wanted to add that I do not usually go for fragrances that are overly floral. I don't think this is overboard on that tangent. IF you use it in a judicious amount, and not overdo it, I think it will not be overwhelming for you or anyone else you encounter. I tend to go for unisex scents also, which although this might seem to lean a little more feminine, I think it is good along those lines because of the cedar and lavender component counter balancing the floral. So if you're considering this scent and hesitate because of the floral, just keep in mind that it's not just that. Try a sample instead of a full bottle. You may just love it just as much as I do.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Ô Féminin by M. Micallef yet. These two fragrances are very complimentary to each other - Perdizione being a bit sweeter and having this herbal lavender touch to it whereas Ô Féminin staying more on the floral-soapy side. It's like Ô Féminin being a spring-summer version of Perdizione. I do get what people comparing it to Devotion wanted to say. To me Perdizione to some extent shares Devotion's vanilla-lemon base. I'd say it is exactly in the middle between Devotion and Ô Féminin. So these three - Ô Féminin, Devotion, Perdizione - will be different scents but all in the same ballpark. I'd also add Burberry Goddess to this list - it is not a neroli-orange blossom fragrance but shares the lavender-vanilla duo from the base. I kind of see them all as different versions of the similar signature scent profile, just more suitable for certain season or occasion. I'd agree Perdizione is not necessarily a winter fragrance - rather autumn/spring perfume, for periods of season transition between cold and warm. The sweetness is kind of sneaky in it, almost like a nauseating poison beneath the surface of a fresh meal. It's definitely there but covered in bright bitter neroli-orange blossom layer. With time it gets more and more prominent but also soft and calm, getting Perdizione much closer to Devotion.

So she is brand spanking new to my collection. Unboxed her last night & sprayed on prepped skin & 😒 I wasn’t happy ... AT ALL ... I washed her off & put on a different new beauty to self soothe. 2 hours ago I decided to go back in ... I promised myself she is NOT coming off no matter what! (In the name of science & 💩) . I am not ready for a full review... I only do those after I really feel as though I ‘know her’ & that my brain 🧠 has settled on a conclusion that will likely stick for 6 or more months if not ♾️. ❣️You need & deserve to know that the ‘unholy neroli’ that punches you square in the jaw upon application... that REALLY & TRULY lets up - all but completely❣️She gives way to a LDBS add indolic neroli that softens nicely & while I find the note pretty unpleasant & astringent in the opening, I DO like ‘knowing’ (for myself) that she is a natural ingredient. Something I don’t always get in droves with my beastly, auditorium filling favorites ... she’ pretty 😍 & in this very moment I am pleased w/ her. BUT I will not be counting my chickens 🐓 just yet as I don’t know how she’s going to fare insofar as longevity is concerned 🤞

Absolutely stunning. The opening is equal parts orange blossom, vanilla and Ylang, then drying down to a white musk base. The pettigrain gives the scent a green feeling, and the orange blossom a soapy clean feeling—with just enough interest brought in with other notes: namely lavender and both bergamot and grapefruit....neither overpowers the other. Dry down comes sooner than I like (about an hour), but at least it’s a pleasant, sweet, vanilla musk aromatic. I don’t agree that Perdizione smells mature, in fact I feel it leans young, carefree and feels like a summer vacation. There’s also a hint of formality, so I can imagine this working for special occasions. Last night I gave a girlfriend a Luckyscent 15ml and she was also swept off her feet and couldn’t stop saying how much she loved it. Lastly, Perdizione works best on me when I spray it on my wrists. I enjoy smelling Perdizione a foot or so away because up close it’s too sweet for my liking. Overall though, I love love love it.

I'm just going to say, this one has become my favorite after 1 month of maceration, hated it at first, and now is the most gorgeous and feminine perfume I own, not even my favorite notes as I only go for coconut, but wow, this one is a masterpiece, the kind of thing you would use to influence and suggestion a dude in the most canon event of his life, I imagine myself using this to play the victim to manipulate the father of my child if I see him again, like, this will leave an imprint on memory forever, this is what I imagened Rihanna smelled like when everyone said she smells like heaven, this smells like an angel or the rose sweet smell on saints, honestly, this is what I imagine that hoe Reira from Trapnest smells like, this might truly be the "Perdizione" of someone if used in the right moment, i feel so coony using this as the smell tells you im an angel with deer eyes when you well know im a nasty girl, 30/10

Da amante sfegatata della pastiera ho tanto cercato un profumo che ne evocasse i sentori. La prima volta che mi sono imbattuta in Perdizione, in apertura, ho sentito tantissimo la “nota verde” e non ho voluto testarlo su pelle. Grave, gravissimo errore! Dopo mesi di vane ricerche, mi ero quasi arresa all’evidenza: non avrei mai trovato il profumo che tanto desideravo! Decisi allora di dare una seconda occasione a quello che sarebbe di lì a poco diventato il mio profumo del cuore: nota verde in apertura (che si affievolisce dopo poco), fiori di arancio, neroli, ylang ylang e vanigliaaaaaaa. Manca solo la nota di grano cotto, ma nell’insieme, se chiudo gli occhi, riesco a sentirla...la mia adorata PASTIERA 🥧. Voto: 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡♾️/5 Attualmente il mio PREFERITO IN ASSOLUTO insieme al nuovo arrivato in casa Nobile: il Colore Del Vento. Due fragranze dalle “proprietà magiche”: serenità, felicità e benessere a profusione!

Upon first contact, I found this of a quite unusual sweetness. Somehow, smth I feel I've smelled before though but still can't remember where. So sweet that makes even Lira feel fresh, smth I've never thought I might say. I find these 2 very similar due to citrusy-caramely, extremely sweet combo. But despite it's extreme sweetness, it has that citrusy touch that is so stubborn to cling to the sweetness even in the drydown, preventing it from being just a boring, extremely sweet fragrance. ( unlike Lira, where the citruses die eventually, leaving just caramel, in the end. The reason I did not purchase a full bottle, afterall). I only have a small decant, i will use it once on me to see how i perceive it during the day. But 99% I will get the full bottle very very soon. Love how I still feel the citruses in the very drydown, meaning the 2nd day after spraying it. Just lovely!

I took a real chance with this, worrying that the note pyramid might make this turn out to be something too feminine and/or too sweet for me. But Nobile 1942 has yet to steer me wrong. This opens with a big burst of fruitiness, and then dries down to a scent that's still fruity but has vanilla and florals (notably ylang-ylang). The restraint shown with the vanilla is pretty remarkable: it would have been so easy to add something even sweeter to it to make this smell like a fruit pie, and yet the perfumer resisted that and kept the fragrance from being too eager to please. This is a rare gourmand I would happily wear, though it's more something to be worn when out having a good time rather than to the office. The bottle and the label are exceptionally beautiful. The sillage and projection are remarkable, so go easy on this if you are to wear it indoors.

The name "Perdizione" only makes sense once the elixir kisses the skin. A rapturous candied orange blossom-vanilla that brings me back to the delicious orange trees of Granada, Spain. The orange blossom is neither too sweet nor too verdant. It is a solar flower whirling in wispy, powdery clouds of vanilla. I have in my collection a wide range of orange blossom perfumes. Compared to the florals such as Orangers en Fleurs (Houbigant) and Lutens' Fleurs d'orangers, this would pass as a gourmand. Yet, even with its powdery, nostalgic sweetness, it evinces gourmand codification and manages to be at once seductive and indolic. Some may compare this to Seville a L'aube. I have this one too but Seville leans masculine with its incense and herbacious notes. Perdizione is joyous, curvacious and creamy and absolutely intoxicating.

Wow! 😍This is absolutely stunning! It has easily become my favourite orange blossom fragrance. I have come to the realisation that nobile 1942 can do no wrong and every single perfume I have purchased from them so far has been so beautiful and a successful blind buy. This is a really sweet and syrupy orange blossom dessert, and it has some creaminess to it. Yet it remains so elegant and refreshing as the citrusy notes keep it from getting too cloying. It definitely has a sexy zesty quality to it. Imagine a dollop of vanilla whipped cream topped with loads of orange blossom syrup and candied lemon zest sprinkled on top. Just divine! 🌸🍋🍦 Also, in my humble opinion I would say that you need to LOVE orange blossom in order to enjoy this one because it is a very orange blossom dominant fragrance.

I love this fragrance. To me, it is a much better version of LDBS by Kilian, Oriana by Parfums de Marly, or Sintra by Memo. LDBS and Oriana are toothachingly sweet and a bit juvenile, in my opinion, while Sintra, I find it too bitter and medicinal especially in the opening. Perdizione is so well balanced instead. It is not too sweet, it is fresh and juicy, but not bitter and, in the opening, especially, it reminds me of a popular Neapolitan dessert, "pastiera", which is made with orange blossom water. There is this gourmand, dessert like quality in Perdizione, but not strong, sweet, but not really foody, and very elegant, delicate and sophisticated. To me, it is like a fresher, juicier version of Safanad by Parfums de Marly, but with the same elegance and sophistication.

I’ve been testing this beauty on my skin for a while using a sample vial. I would love to get my hands on a spray decant before springing for the full bottle (which I probably will). Here are my impressions: 06/29/2022 - Over time and many wears from the sample vial, I’ve come to realize it reminds me of kumquat blossoms mixed with vanilla. I’m guessing the kumquat blossom smell is the neroli, as I am detecting a similar note in Tom Ford Neroli Portofino - this one is just sweetened by the vanilla. The juice starts off a light orange and deepens to orangey red as it oxidizes. 10/18/2020 - Initial impression is that it smells like a pack of smarties candy (the American variety, not the chocolate ones) - powdery, sweet, slightly fruity.

I was wearing Bottega Veneta Knot while my husband was baking a cake, and I loved its citrusy neroli-lavender-musk next to fresh vanilla cake so much that I set out to find such a scent in perfume form. Luckily, my decant supplier was selling this! For once in my life, it is the exact fulfillment of one of my "I wish I had a perfume that smells like this" whims. To my nose the neroli and orange blossom are front and center, but as with Knot they're not overly-indolic. The lavender-ylang combo is a nice counterpoint to the white flowers (and reminds me of Sleepy/Twilight from Lush!). Wearing it in summer now and it's just delightful, a vanilla that suits warm weather very well.

My bottle of Perdizione is from last year. My bottle of Love Don't Be Shy is from this year. Perdizione performs better on skin than LDBS. I must carry a decant of LBDS with me to respray throughout the day. Would not need to do that with Perdizione. Regarding the scent, they remind me of each other from the first sniff, and that is why I am comparing them. They are, however, different enough to have both. I do prefer Perdizione, I like that very unique green take on this kind of profile. But I like LDBS in a different way. The dry down of Perdizione is gorgeous. Edit: Changed my mind... I prefer LDBS.

Wow, this fragrance is absolutely gorgeous. It opens with fresh citrus and dries down to a fruity vanilla. Leans a bit feminine but any confident man can pull it off, too. Longevity on my skin is stellar, at this writing it's 12 hours into it and it's still going strong. Projection is moderate but sillage is amazing. It's a shame that none of the Youtube reviewers ever seem to mention this house because they've got a lot of great fragrances in their collection. For me, from those I've tried, this one is the best. I highly recommend trying it out for yourself because it's quite special in my opinion.

I'm finding so far with Nobile 1942 fragrances that the fragrance of the initial spray has nothing to do with how it develops after minutes or even hours. At first spray this fragrance was a little too full-on sweet/flowery for me - a little disturbing even, but as it settled and developed, some rich, warm tones came out with a subtle but sturdy vanilla coming through, and it's just gorgeous. It's sweet, light, positive, sunny, and yet complex. I couldn't wear this every day, but it really is for me a must-have special occasion fragrance. it's got a perfect cocktails-by-a-summer-sunset kind of feel.

This is almost identical to Love [don't be shy] by Kilian!! I was so stoked that I kept asking people if they could smell the difference, and most of them end up just as surprised as me! I mean.. HALF the price 50% more the size (by a reputable niche brand and not some cheap knockoff), this has got to be a gem! Although about an hour in, the lavender starts to come out and you can tell the difference then; it's airier and more aromatic, which can be a good thing since Love is cloying (and artificial) for some, but I'm one of the few who doesn't like lavender on the skin :/

It's so sweet yet when i move my hand, i feel smth refreshing in the air. I have this on one wrist and Safanad on the other. I sprayed Safanad as it immediately made me think of it once spraying Perdizione. Safanad is lighter, fresher yet more prone to inducing nausea (it's a gorgeous fragrance dont get me wrong). Perdizione is sweeter, denser, stronger and more beautiful, in my opinion. Safanad is more mature, Perdizione less formal and warmer. Although i really like Safanad, I much prefer Perdizione. They are similar but in no way one clone of the other.
