Our Verdict - 1001 Parfum

This isn't your average 'Oriental' fragrance. Nobile 1942's 1001 is a divisive scent: some find it a sublime, elegant spicy-woody blend, while others are put off by dominant, realistic turmeric and ginger that can smell a bit like savoury cooking spices or even soap. Definitely one to sample first.

Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and intriguing, subtle warmth make it suitable for date nights and formal events, creating a captivating aura without overwhelming. While some find it too intimate for the price due to lower longevity, others report solid projection, making it adaptable. It's less ideal for office due to the unique spice profile that might be polarising, and certainly not for sport.
