Fresh lemon candy with cola

So this perfume is like a sweet lemon candy with cola. It smells pleasantly citrusy, even a little gourmandly citrusy - you almost want to taste the scent :). It's fresh, citrusy and fizzy - it really is like a Bon-pari candy. at least on my skin. On other skin, another aspect of the scent was the moss - it didn't show up on me at all. but the projection isn't great - that's a shame. Sillage normal - adequate.

I only tested from a sample - maybe a larger spray would stand out better - I don't know. The scent is simple but pleasant.

It does not offend and is very versatile.

Coca Cola or Sierra Mist

A staple for the spring/summer rotation. Fizzy, bright, citrus, sweet herbs, ambergris and musks (that seem to work similar in fashion to Tonic Vert, C-03, Aventus ....except this scent isn’t closely associated to either of these 3 and stands on its own.) There is an underlying astringent sweet carbonation here some say is reminiscent of cola and I can definitely see that..Fun fact: Estroverso means outgoing in Italian

Summer Fizz Deluxe

Once again, I have been enchanted by a Nobile 1942 fragrance. After Muschio and Casta Diva from the same house (both created by the talented Marie Duchêne), a creation that is certainly mistakenly labeled as a men's fragrance has made its way into my heart. Because there is nothing purely masculine about it, especially not aftershave-like, should anyone think that.

No, here comes the perfect unisex summer scent for the hottest days of the year: Estroverso. I have rarely experienced such delicate freshness, such a skillful mix of sparkling Berlin soda, youthful lakeside joy, carefree sunny vibes, and casual, unpretentious elegance with refined herbal freshness.

Even the first spray makes me addicted. I want to dive into this sparkling, fine pearly cloud and breathe it in deeply, like in the commercials, with closed eyes, and softly sigh aaaaaah!
The perfect citrus composition, limey, orangey, carbonated, bitter and fruity at the same time, fizzes on the skin and on the nasal mucous membranes without burning them.

Does anyone know the difference between lemonade and soda? No? Me neither. At least not theoretically. I couldn't explain it. But I recognize it when I encounter it. To anyone who is familiar with this diffuse feeling, rest assured: Estroverso is soda. Not lemonade.

But what a soda! Primal, almost cheeky like from a corner kiosk in the heart of a Berlin neighborhood, yet at the same time noble, like being served and sipped on the terrace of an Italian Riviera palazzo, that is Estroverso. More bitter than sweet, yet definitely not bitter. The herbal spiciness is rather discreetly perceptible to me; I experience a relatively linear citrus fruit note more distinctly. It refreshes me without making me shiver, and yet it is the most beautiful energetic (scent) kick in the day for warm, even hot days that I can imagine. Sounds boring, but it is not, because I know (so far) no citrus scent that resembles this one.

I feel casual when I wear Estroverso. In a good mood and relaxed. Cheerful and sunny. Carefree and at ease. Estroverso is the break that refreshes you.

How wonderful it would be if the duration of its refreshing power didn’t only last as long as a break! After 3-4 hours, it definitely fades away, without me being able to perceive much of the almost lavishly described base (a bit of clean, soft musk, some wood), and then it’s time to reapply, which you can gladly do generously. The scent has at most a medium projection, as one would expect in this fragrance category, but that doesn’t bother me much:

that first fizz from the sprayer is anyway the most beautiful; it is like a refreshing shower in between, while simultaneously sipping a cool bottle of summer soda from the kiosk. And afterwards, I hop on my bike, happily pedal in the summer sun down to Wannsee or the Elbe, and let the freckles blossom. The Italian Riviera doesn’t even need to be there for me with this wonderful companion! :-)

The "Herbaceous" Lime Musk Flotilla

What do we learn on the internet about "Nobile 1942"?

We are informed that the founder, Umberto Nobile, made the decision to establish his company in 1942. Hence - as we suspected - the numerical addition in the name. This is, of course, a company tradition that can be considered quite remarkable, given the lifespan of a mayfly. However, renowned companies like "Creed" might only elicit a weary smile from this tradition - at least when measured against their own marketing strategy - and certainly not cause their jaws to quiver. This fragrance, therefore - as far as is known - did not caress the bodies of crowned heads and likely did not sink with the Titanic. And that's a good thing. But more on that later...

For: This gentleman Umberto Nobile, who - as our Berlin friends would say - is "the boss of the whole thing," followed his passion for noble and rare essences and began to make it his profession - as shall be revealed here: Fortunately (!!!). And that was certainly not easy. For, as not only the historically interested among us know, he did not choose the happiest time for this endeavor. In 1942, the world undoubtedly had other worries and troubles than the pursuit of smelling good. Forgive me this somewhat flat wordplay: Back then, it was probably more about "fumigating" from the terrible turmoil of the cruel Second World War.

Nevertheless, he managed to build and sustain the company. For this, he deserves great praise and recognition for his courage and passion. Subsequently, it seems to have remained a family business. For: In the meantime, his nephew Massimo shares his passion and creates the Nobile fragrance collection with great enthusiasm.

Further internet research revealed that all the essences contained in the fragrances are obtained through elaborate processes and in an absolutely natural manner. The specially designed manufacturing process is said to give the fragrances a unique quality, so that all scents from this brand come with a certificate of authenticity and a dedication confirming the authenticity of the perfume.

I would not have mentioned this fact if it were not also detectable by scent. I mean the naturalness of the raw materials used. This is also true for this specimen:

As already vividly described by "Apicius" - in all his comments: Extremely knowledgeable and worth reading - this fragrance begins very "herbaceous": I can barely perceive the rosemary indicated in the fragrance pyramid, hardly noticeable accompanied by some - though not mentioned there - oregano. Possibly the - again listed there - mugwort. But: To my surprise, initially nothing that would even remotely suggest a citrus fruit. This is surprising, as the orientation here is (of course in the best sense) an "Eau de Cologne." I mean: This fragrance is primarily meant to refresh and please its wearer. Anyone looking for a strong and heavy "pick-up scent" should stop reading here.

So: Initially, a few (but carefully selected) spices of the most natural origin delight our noses. Only later does the long-awaited citrus fruit finally join the "spicy" notes. But it is not a sharp and biting lemon (certainly not a toilet cleaner), but rather a gently caressing lime that gradually tries to assert itself boldly in the foreground. To put it in the words of Wowereit: "I am refreshing, and that's a good thing." Indeed it is. For: The spices linger on this olfactory stage and never leave "Ms. Lime" alone in the leading role. And not only Wowereit finds that good. I do too. For - indeed - we find here a very natural and undoubtedly very happy lime that, in this fragrance, undoubtedly experiences the crowning of its fulfilled, albeit somewhat short, life. Whether the aforementioned special manufacturing process includes that the limes were perhaps played Italian operas while they were still hanging high on the tree, observing the world from above, could not be researched in the short time available on the internet. It is conceivable. But what music would have suited this lime? Certainly not the (undoubtedly very understandable) melancholic "Prisoners' Chorus" from Giuseppe Verdi's "Nabucco." But then what? Even if I might offend the national pride of our Italian friends: Rather the "Bird Seller" in Mozart's "Magic Flute." As I said: The whole thing is very restrained and by no means intrusive. Further enriched by Iso-E-Super, which gives this fragrance another light and buoyant, almost "maritime," note.

But then? Fanfare!!! Monsieur - pardon me - Signore "Musk" enters the stage. Imposing and awe-inspiring. But by no means overly animalistic and intrusive. For shortly after his appearance, he selflessly integrates into the "overall concert," although he is noticeably - or better said "olfactorily" - aware that he is now the one in the leading role. He now sets the tone, although the little lime, the little spice, and the small maritime "Iso-E-boat" are still allowed to play along. "Signore Musk" now clearly pulls the opera in a masculine direction and will not die a hero's death for a long, long time.

Overall: Everything is very beautifully intertwined, refreshing, natural - but also distinctly masculine. The wearer is surrounded - for surprisingly long - by a masculine "fresh breeze," which pleasantly fades into a few woods.

Clear recommendation to buy, especially for summer (but also very wearable in other seasons). So why "only" 90%? I promised "my" Colonia from AdP that I would not give any summer fragrance more than 90%. And one can never rule out that it will read this comment. So, in the spirit of: Let's see what the competition is doing...

Italian Cologne Art in Perfection!

Maybe not in perfection, but very, very close! I haven't been so happy with the brand Nobile 1942 so far, despite some extraordinary scents (Rudis or Fougere Nobile) and some treasures that the brand still holds, the spark just didn't ignite for me. Therefore, two weeks ago at the Schlossparfumerie in Stuttgart, I discovered this spring's gem... what a lovely little guy have I overlooked over the years? Already 6 years on the market, yet never noticed... left aside for over 3 years! All the more I want to honor him with this comment, as he deserves much more attention!
Estroverso is great, simply great... a scent that fits so perfectly into spring, into summer... or for today's wonderfully sunny day with its incredible and quite unusual freshness. It is citrus-fresh like hardly any other... Gaukeleya has wonderfully described it with summer fizz... the word and her descriptions fit perfectly! The freshness practically sparkles, citrus notes as far as the eye or nose can see... but not the umpteenth Cologne top note like Borsari or Acqua di Parma (not meant derogatorily)... here, through the combination with a wonderfully soft musk and herbs, a "mixture" has emerged that simply smells different... enchanting, refreshing, and uplifting... sooo delicious... one of those typical kinds... wrist-addicting. It briefly reminds in the top note of Nasengold #s and Sicilian Wood through the pronounced lime... but without cocktail flair.
And yes, Estroverso has a mini-classic touch, yet still modern... unmistakably Italian Cologne... but somehow a whole lot more. What is typical of Cologne is its somewhat lacking longevity, 4 hours and then the air is out or just small musk remnants on the skin, close to the skin but still (still) very delicious. The sillage is quite strong in the first 60-90 minutes, then summery fitting - just above skin close. But at only €90 for 100ml, one can/should spray it on more often... especially because of the wonderful top note... I believe whoever perceives this scent somewhere... will instantly start to smile.
