Nobile 1942 I Rigati – Italian fragrances in signature striped flacons

Nobile 1942 I Rigati: Italian fragrances in signature striped flacons

The visual signature of the maison

I Rigati is the most identifiable collection of Nobile 1942: five fragrances housed in the emblematic striped flacon (rigato in Italian) of the maison, visual signature inherited from the family heritage. A line that highlights the noble raw material as the heart of the perfume, in a soliflore-like approach (one note dominant) faithful to the Italian artisanal tradition.

The five creations of I Rigati

I Rigati brings together Patchouli Nobile, Sandalo Nobile, Vaniglia Nobile, Muschio Nobile and Incenso Nobile — five soliflores that explore the great noble materials of perfumery: patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, musk, incense. Each composition celebrates one matter as a single subject.

A modern reading of the soliflore

I Rigati cultivates a logic specific to Italian artisanal perfumery: the noble matter as the perfume itself, in a writing that prolongs the great traditional soliflores while modernising them. Where the historic soliflores often shared the limit of being one-dimensional, Nobile 1942 weaves around the central material a context of supporting accords (Patchouli Nobile = patchouli + benzoin + amber, etc.) that gives depth to the composition without diluting the dominant note.

Who is I Rigati for, and when to wear it?

I Rigati speaks to lovers of clear-writing perfumery, who like to recognise a dominant material at the first whiff. Creations sit in the woody, vanilla, musky and incense families. If you enjoy I Rigati, you will also want to explore the Houbigant Les Matières (other soliflore family), Profumum Roma and Goutal Paris — three other readable-writing signatures at Soleil d'Or.
