Gucci Nobile by Gucci

I have had it for 25 years, a gift from an aunt I admire, and it is a masterful lotion. It opens fresh and clean, with citrus and lavender that does not smell generic, balancing with rosemary and evolving into a forest moss with roses and carnations. It is a masculine equilibrium that never opens to unisex; it is the example of what a gentleman should wear. Another mistake by the brand to discontinue this work of art; as with everything, it will remain in the olfactory memory of those who enjoyed it. If you come across it, do not hesitate to buy it.

Gucci Nobile is the scent of my youth in the nineties. A few days ago I acquired a miniature, and upon opening it, it transported me back to my adolescence, to school days when I was starting music. I am surprised how certain scents move us and take us back in time or recover what is lost. This happens with this perfume and others like Azzaro pour homme, Polo Green, or Lapidus pour homme; all linked to my childhood, the house where I grew up, and the bathroom I shared with my father, where they remained on a shelf, untouched by time, these bottles whose scents mixed with my dearest memories.

I hoard whatever remains of my Gucci Nobile, wishing it would return to the market. I agree with everything said in the reviews.

The best fragrance Gucci has ever created… who gave them the idea to discontinue it?

A masterpiece, it is like an old car that was made seriously, not in series. It has absolutely everything: quality, projection, longevity. INCREDIBLE. Sadly discontinued and totally immoral what they ask today for this aroma.

It is intense, very fresh and powerful. A woody, complex, and spiced composition. It stands out in elegance, a pleasant and persistent blend with an air of a timeless classic. The top notes are aromatic and tonifying. It gives a sober and refined sensation; it is unique, and if you wear it, almost certainly no one will smell the same. I think houses should conduct a serious survey to see which past aromas people would buy again. It is true that online prices are high, but the main risk is preservation, which may have lost potency. When dried, it reminds me a bit of Enrico Coveri pour homme, another stylish and undervalued fragrance from those years.

A marvel, I don’t understand Gucci, how on earth do they discontinue a work of art?! Polo, YSL, Givenchy, Dior etc. respect their legacies, their classics, and today they are returning with revivals and nostalgia. Gucci should look at eBay and realise they must bring Nobile and Envy back into production!!!!

A few weeks ago, in a nearby town, I acquired the box of this very good fragrance: 60 ml eau de toilette and 100 ml bar deodorant, all in excellent condition. The price was quite economical, especially considering the scandalous figures asked online for the EDT alone. Its structure is a pleasant, clean and soothing citrus cut, very Mediterranean, culminating in a soft base of wood and moss. The trail and longevity are moderate, with very acceptable skin fixative. It’s for daytime use, with a summery character. Olfactorily, without having exact similarity, Gucci Nobile belongs to a trend like Armani Eau Pour Homme, Montana Parfum D’Homme or the already mentioned Xeryus by Givenchy. Age range: from 35 years onwards, though not limiting for the young. Fragrance: 10/10, Longevity: 8/10, Projection: 7.5/10, Price: 10/10. Excellent classic, undoubtedly.

Well, what a delight to be the first to review this perfume masterpiece! Gucci Nobile could be placed among the fresh scents of the late eighties, very much in the vein of Eternity or Xeryus (yes, I consider it fresh), to cite well-known examples. To be honest, I think it far surpasses them. Within its woody base, citrus notes, tonka, lavender, rosemary, and tobacco stand out. Its markedly Mediterranean aura is worth emphasising. I have the fantasy that every boy of my generation, when playing at being a man, wanted to smell like Gucci Nobile, longing for that to be his intrinsic scent for life. It’s like when you see a relative or famous figure you admire and say: ‘When I grow up, I want to be like X’. It is rather sad that this spectacular fragrance has been discontinued. It was destined to be one of the greatest historical icons among men’s scents. Fragrance: 10/10, Longevity: 9/10, Projection: 8.5/10, Price: 6/10. Discontinued, currently sells for a fortune.
