Nobile 1942 Exceptional Edition – Rare editions in Italian haute parfumerie

Nobile 1942 Exceptional Edition: rare editions in Italian haute parfumerie

The most precious face of the maison

Exceptional Edition is the rare collection of Nobile 1942, Italian artisanal maison founded in 1942. Five confidential editions patiently distilled in the signature Italian writing, intended for connoisseurs who already know the maison's main lines. A perfumery of small productions and noble materials, in the great tradition of Italian haute parfumerie.

The five creations of Exceptional Edition

Exceptional Edition brings together Pontevecchio W, Pontevecchio U, La Danza delle Libellule, Perdizione and Ambra Nobile — five compositions that include the absolute bestseller of the maison (La Danza delle Libellule, an iridescent floral) and signature creations like Perdizione (gourmand oriental) or the Pontevecchio duo (W feminine, U masculine), tribute to the Florentine bridge.

La Danza delle Libellule and Perdizione: two Italian icons

Two creations deserve a special mention: La Danza delle Libellule — an iridescent floral that has become a cult of contemporary niche, with its accord of magnolia, neroli, white musk evoking the dance of dragonflies above the water. And Perdizione, gourmand oriental which is one of the maison's most worn signature trails — a smooth, sensual perdition built on rum, vanilla and sandalwood. Two pieces that bear witness to the Italian writing of Nobile 1942.

Who is Exceptional Edition for, and when to wear it?

Exceptional Edition speaks to lovers of haute parfumerie italienne and seasoned connoisseurs of the maison. Creations sit in the floral, oriental, ambery and gourmand families. If you enjoy Exceptional Edition, you will also want to explore the Premium Collection, Profumum Roma and Casamorati — three other prestige Italian signatures at Soleil d'Or.
