Vespri Aromatico

Following the line started with Vespri Esperidati W, the House of Nobile 1942 released, in 2013, two more fragrances inspired by the freshness and the natural aspect of the traditional Italian citrus fruits, such as Calabrian bergamot and lemon from Sicily. They are also part of the line of Supreme fragrances (Fragranza Suprema) in EDP concentration and of shared use. The official notes are: Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian lemon, green notes and fennel, in the output; sea salt, Rosemary, Juniper and geranium, in the heart; sandalwood, cedarwood, tonka bean, musk, cashmere wood and mosses, in the base. Although the output is similar and also respects the dna of the Vespri line, with their citrus power, you can feel a little difference and a slightly sweetened nuance, as soon as the fragrance is sprayed. The fennel, which is also known as dill (or anise), is not only about the seeds that are used in cooking. Its stem and its flowers also feature the typical aroma, but the essence is extracted by distillation of the seeds. Here, its aroma lingers throughout the evolution, especially when the heart notes become more noticeable. Then, we have the fennel and the rosemary, which exude brilliantly and represent the main role of this composition. With respect to its base, I felt nothing of the tonka bean. On my skin, the nuances of mosses, musk and cedar were the more vivid. Less trained noses may say that this perfume looks artificial and cheap, because the aromatic heart of the fragrance is very present and stands out the natural and citric output. But this fragrance is not artificial! Of the Vespri line, it was the one that projected and lasted the most on my skin and the one I think is more worthwhile knowing. A gift to the fans of aromatics!

What a absolute gem. Nobile 1942 always has amazing citruses and this is no exception. This is the brother of Vespri Esperidati, which I also own and love. Whereas Vespri Esperidati is more on the resinous, slightly earthy/smoky side thanks to a more oriental drydown, Vespri Aromatico is pure green. Bright, zesty, green right off the bat. Super zingy and fresh. It has a rather unusual twist from most green freshies/fougeres. It has a salty/savory quality to it that makes me salivate and I think it's the dill and fennel, two things I absolutely adore in food and I definitely get that here. There's an odd soapiness as well but no lavender which is rather unusual but it's very pleasant. Definitely more masculine. This will be killer when it gets warm in the late spring and in the summer. Longevity is surprising decent, I get a good 6 hours with good initial projection which is a nice for a freshie (probably because it's more green). If you're a fan of fougeres and green aromatics and especially if you like barbershop fragrances, get your nose on this.

A wonderful invigorating unisex warm weather scent. It smells expensive and makes me think of Xerjoff scents. It opens with fresh juicy citrus notes. It settles and now the aromatic notes, salt and a touch of fennel are very evident. The citrus fades back a bit further and now it's all about the aromatics. This would smell great on a guy and I might share with the oh lol. Moderate longevity and sillage

Very sharp and piercing opening in the best way possible. Invigorating, wakes you up in the morning. To me it’s equally crisp green as it is citrusy and salty. Kinda like a Sauvage I guess, or that style, but much more natural and potently aromatic. Also, the Verveine is an apt comparison the green and citrus notes together have a lemon verbena scent. Performance is really good for a freshie.

This is a fresh and lively aromatic - I absolutely love this stuff. No bitter green notes to my nose...it's also not sweet either...very neutral. I think the performance is good for such a natural scent, and the projection is average. This is not going to fill a room, but you wouldn't want this scent to do that anyways.
