Nobile 1942 Shamal is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Chris Maurice. Shamal opens with Date, Herbal, Incense, and Apple, settles into a heart of Suede and Amber, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Musk. Nobile 1942's Shamal carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Shamal is divisive - a unique amber-fruity blend that some find captivatingly exotic and smooth, while others dismiss it as synthetic and headache-inducing. It's an acquired taste; love it or loathe it, you won't forget it.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Imagine a rich, sweet date pulp infused with cool, unburnt incense, underscored by a crisp, slightly tart apple note. This opens onto a plush, ambery heart with a hint of suede, settling into a grounding blend of warm woods and soft musk. It’s an intriguing East-meets-West journey, blending fruity sweetness with an ancient, resinous depth.
