Nobile 1942 Vespri Esperidati is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1942, created by Marie Duchêne. Vespri Esperidati opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange, Petitgrain, Neroli, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Nobile 1942's Vespri Esperidati carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This isn't just another citrus scent; it's a high-quality citrus with real staying power and a surprisingly sophisticated dry down. While some find it a bit sharp initially, most agree it evolves beautifully into a clean, warm weather staple for anyone.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Vespri Esperidati opens with a vibrant, invigorating explosion of sharp lemon, bergamot, and zesty grapefruit, bursting with pure citrus energy. As the initial intensity mellows, a delicate white floral heart of jasmine and neroli emerges, softened by a hint of juicy cranberry. The base anchors this bright composition with a sophisticated blend of earthy oakmoss, warm amber, and creamy sandalwood, adding depth without weighing it down. It’s clean, fresh, and surprisingly enduring.
