Hello everyone,
Today I would like to say a few words about "Noble XXI: Art Deco - Cypress | Clive Christian" and why I think this.
Before I get to the (") most important things that will probably interest most of you, I want to say something about the bottle, the sprayer, the cap, and the packaging! You can think what you want about the company (like with any), but you have to give them one thing - the bottles (with the cap) are eye-catching, and on that point, I can only give a true (!) 10 out of 10. If someone gives an 8 or lower here, I really can't help them anymore. We are clearly and visibly in the absolute high-end range...
So now...
About the scent:
There is the statement "transformation artist," and I don't want to use any other synonym for it. It starts off very fresh and pleasing. You can notice the bergamot, the basil, the petitgrain, and already at the opening, the cypress (initially in the background, but increasingly prominent with each passing minute). In the opening, it is fresh, slightly spicy, a bit green, and subtly woody.
Then we experience a noticeable "twist," it becomes green, spicy, and slightly balsamic and woody due to the cypress. And now we come to a "beloved point" for me; I am a big fan of the scent of cypress (I have a special connection that goes back to my past + origin). When you use VERY high-quality and natural cypress oil (like here), you get a balsamically cooling effect, and this is noticeably pronounced here.
In the end, the cypress pulls back a bit, and woods like cedar and oak take the stage along with a portion of amber (noticeable), and in combination, these notes create a timeless, high-quality, and very "wealthy" aspect - you will love it - just like I do!
I find "Noble XXI: Art Deco - Cypress | Clive Christian" to be somehow the truly best of the Noble series (of all, yes I also like "Noble XXI: Art Deco - Blonde Amber | Clive Christian," but "Noble XXI: Art Deco - Cypress | Clive Christian" gives me more and that special feeling.
And how is the performance:
For me, it’s around an 8 - 9!
And this brings me to the point of how it is received + when do I recommend it?
I would recommend it for any time and occasion.
It will never annoy you, never be too potent + intrusive,
rather a perfectly groomed (wealthy) gentleman...
About the price and is the scent worth the price....?
I really find it very hard to say "yes" or "100% no," because yes (!) it really does impress (and now an important point), you can already notice the fine tuning, the high-quality aspect, and you can tell that with most of the scents from the house it is like - oh come on, let’s add something better/more expensive...
Many houses in the niche sector, like MFK for example, primarily work on a synthetic basis, but here you can really notice a certain quality difference!!!!
My conclusion on the topic of price, purchase, and recommendation...,
IF you find a leftover bottle, take it and if possible, do NOT pay the full price,
then I recommend certain scents from the house, like this one!
The scents from this house are generally not performance monsters,
they are characterized by a noticeable and very decent composition,
tuning, selection of oils, etc., and for me, that is worth much more than a 16h
performance with a synthetic monster = personal opinion!
Its true potential is (unfortunately) seen by very, very 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

(Now the same as almost always - because it applies!)
Now to the topic of luxury:
As you can see in my profile, I have really smelled many scents, and there are scents where you can smell a certain (partly) strong synthetic note, and you quickly realize that some fragrance houses focus more on quantity than quality, and there are some where you can tell "oh come on, let’s add more + better," and you can smell that at the end of the day.
A brief word about the packaging, bottle, sprayer:
I’ll keep it short; I give a 10 out of 10 in every category, and I know very well that tastes are very different. So, if someone honestly rates this with a 7 or less... - PHEW. Beautiful and very high-quality cap, nice timeless bottle design, etc.... so I find it very hard to rate it differently, and I’m not saying this because I like or dislike a brand!
Now a short note about my opinion:
I am not sponsored, influenced by anyone, receiving money or anything else. I approach the topic of perfume as I am, being honest; anything else is not my style. My true personal opinion is worth a lot to me, and I hope you can tell that. If I don’t like something, like the packaging, bottle, sprayer, or H/S, I will communicate that too!
