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

Our verdict on Casta Diva: Favourite

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

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.
