Nobile 1942 Vespri Orientale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Vespri Orientale opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Oud and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Moss. Nobile 1942's Vespri Orientale carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly classic Italian citrus with an unexpected woody backbone. Some love its traditional elegance, while others find the oud and moss too subtle, expecting more oriental punch. It is divisive, but for the right person, it is a timeless gem.

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a clean, gentlemanly citrus profile, make it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. It is less suited for formal events or sport, where its classic refinement might be out of place or simply lost.

About

Opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin, perfectly capturing a sun-drenched Italian orchard. This bright freshness then gracefully transitions, mellowed by soft neroli. The heart hints at a sophisticated depth with a touch of jasmine, underpinning a restrained, creamy oud. The dry down reveals a refined base of cedar, sandalwood, and patchouli, softened by an earthy moss, creating an elegant, enduring finish.
