Nobile 1942 Casta Diva is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Marie Duchêne. Casta Diva opens with Green and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Neroli, Jasmine, Osmanthus, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Nobile 1942's Casta Diva carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive, potent, and sometimes polarising, Casta Diva is a big, bold yellow and white floral that demands attention. Those who love it find it heavenly, but a significant minority find it overpowering and cloying. Approach with caution, but if it works for you, it's a stunner.

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, as described by many reviews, make it less suited for an intimate office setting, but perfect for date nights or evenings out. The lush tropical florals lend themselves well to casual wear and can be dressed up for formal occasions, provided it's applied lightly.

About

Casta Diva unfurls with a vibrant green burst, quickly joined by the creamy, exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang. The heart of this fragrance is a rich bouquet of tropical frangipani, heady jasmine, apricot-tinged osmanthus, and bright neroli, creating a lush, white and yellow floral explosion. It eventually settles into a soft, comforting base of warm vanilla, amber, subtly earthy oakmoss, and a clean musky embrace.
