Nobile 1942 – Italian artisanal perfumery since 1942

Nobile 1942: Italian artisanal perfumery since 1942

From Rome to Florence, family-owned Italian perfumery

Nobile 1942 was founded in Rome in 1942 by the Bruni family, then relaunched in Florence by Stefano Nobile and Massimo Nobile, grandsons of the founders, with a project clear in its essence: perpetuate the artisanal Italian tradition of haute parfumerie. Each fragrance of the maison is patiently distilled and bottled by hand in the signature striped flacon, visual emblem inherited from the family heritage. A perfumery of patience, where everything is done in small productions and noble materials.

The maison's signature scents

The Nobile 1942 pantheon brings together Perdizione, La Danza delle Libellule, Malia, Pontevecchio W and Rudis — a roster of signatures that bear witness to the Italian artisanal writing of the maison, from gourmand orientals (Perdizione) to luminous florals (La Danza delle Libellule).

Seven collections to explore Nobile 1942

The maison structures its catalogue into seven differentiated lines. The Fragranza Suprema collection is the historic heart (ten fragrances, the founding signatures). The Premium collection gathers exceptional extraits. The Acqua Sol collection celebrates the solar Mediterranean. The I Rigati collection is housed in the signature striped flacons. The Exceptional Edition, Paradiso Perduto and I Rituali collections complete the universe.

Who is Nobile 1942 for, and when to wear it?

Nobile 1942 speaks to lovers of authentic Italian perfumery, who appreciate small artisanal productions and lisible writing. The house is unisex. Hesperidic and aquatic creations shine in spring and summer, while oriental, ambery and gourmand scents come into their own in autumn and winter. If you enjoy Nobile 1942, you will also want to explore Laboratorio Olfattivo, Casamorati and Acqua di Parma — three other Italian signatures at Soleil d'Or.
