The royal and underrated fragrance that deserves much more attention...
Hello everyone,
Today I would like to say something about "Noble VII - Rock Rose | Clive Christian" at this late hour.
Before I get to the (") most important things that will probably interest most of you, I want to talk about the bottle, the sprayer, the cap, and the packaging! You can think what you want about the company (like with any), but one must concede one thing - the bottles (with the cap) are eye-catching, and on that point, I can only give a true (!) 10 out of 10. Anyone who gives an 8 or lower here, I really can't help you anymore. We are clearly and visibly in the absolute high-end range...
There are still 2 1/2 known or more famous stars of the line and one MEGA STAR - the XXI: Art Deco - Blonde Amber, then there is the "Noble XXI: Art Deco - Amberwood | Clive Christian" and also the overlooked "Noble XXI: Art Deco - Cypress | Clive Christian"... You are just an unknown. And then there is you...
But why?
Ultimately, it's easy to explain, yet quite difficult.
Why exactly?
It is a relatively safe masculine all-rounder that operates with a certain perfection and quality. It is not a fragrance with hard edges or corners; there is not that one fragrance note or the one star (that defines it)! It reminds me of the (old 18 - 20) Percival in terms of effect, but not in terms of fragrance notes! Rather, it comes across as professional, clean, well-groomed, royal - majestic and has this freshly showered vibe that makes the fragrance incredibly appealing to women (in my perception)!
In the first 1h - 3h, you can already notice the floral/cistus character alongside this shower gel vibe, and the combination is extraordinarily elegant, damn high quality, and generally really beautiful!
The H/S:
H an 8
S a 7
As for general remarks,
the fragrances from the house are usually not performance monsters,
they are characterized by a noticeable and very decent composition,
coordination, selection of oils, etc., and for me, that is worth much more than a 16h
performance with a synthetic monster = personal opinion!
Season, occasion, general recommendation:
Except for summer and high summer, it works all the time and does so very well for any occasion. Whether it's a wedding (already worn), office (worn very frequently), restaurant, weekend, or whenever, it fits almost always, and indirectly I would almost go a step further!
IF there is the right wallet, then I see it even as a signature scent!
How is it received:
Very well, and especially women love it very much, while men look annoyed and only ask - where can I order it...?
(That says everything in my opinion!)
Still, I am very glad to have it because sometimes it brings a smile to my face - I can't exactly say why. It gets a lot of things right and does them really well... and one thing is certain - it is damn rare! This means you will surely be the only one in your company, or that evening, and possibly in your city who smells like this!
In conclusion, regarding the price.
Partially, I am TIRED of talking about whether a purchase makes sense or not; in this regard, it is very relative, and my views may not align with yours and vice versa... From a purely commercial perspective (which I am, among other things), I can say that the purchase nowadays (NEW) of "Noble VII - Rock Rose | Clive Christian" is hard to justify, but it is qualitatively a whole different league than PDM, MFK, and co...
Its true potential is still known to far too few...!
If I really weren't convinced, I wouldn't recommend it to you!
And now have a nice day/evening or whenever you read this review, best regards, Benny

It's been a few days, though. I should wear it full-time again. I think it was the kind of scent for "We're going out for asparagus, please wear something subtle"...

It's really quite nice and easy to wear, especially at the office or even when eating asparagus.

Clean, yes. Well-groomed, yes. High-quality, definitely! Also ethereal and slightly earthy. The masculinity is debatable, though. It felt a bit too feminine for me. But it definitely depends on the wearer.

You can definitely sense the masculine base here. The cistus does lean a bit towards the unisex side, and I agree with that. But I find it hard to imagine women wearing it... It's more of a masculine, woody, animalistic, or dry scent - certainly not this. However, it has its masculine character and certain moments after 2 hours where I see it less on a woman. But you have to like cistus ;)
