Nobile 1942 1001 is a Parfum launched in 2017, created by Luca Maffei. 1001 opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Ginger, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Papyrus, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Nobile 1942's 1001 carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
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.

About

Opening with a zing of fresh ginger and pink pepper, underpinned by a refined tea note and crisp bergamot, it quickly moves into a heart of dry rose, earthy papyrus, and exotic turmeric and saffron. The base settles into a smooth blend of sandalwood, subtle patchouli, and warm amber with a hint of vanilla, creating a sophisticated and somewhat austere finish.
