Fougère Nobile

Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent, loved by those who crave unusual tobacco and licorice combinations, and intensely disliked by those who find it challenging and discordant. Definitely not a blind buy, but a unique masterpiece to others.
This "new fougere" from Nobile 1942 is either a harmonious blend of traditional and modern, or a dull, safe rehash - depending on who you ask. Despite the polarisation, it's generally seen as a well-made, gentlemanly scent.
