Il Capriccio del Maestro Nobile 1942 2018

Cinnamon in winter, cold and clear,
warms the heart, that's true.
At the punch market, the scent of mulled wine,
Cinnamon, the wintery scent.

When you apply the scent for the first time, you think to yourself: hmm, I know that from somewhere, don't I? How true how true.
The opening begins with an unmistakable cinnamon note followed by a rum note. In my opinion, the rum note gives it a masculine note and, despite its pronounced sweetness, adds that certain something. It gives the fragrance - for me - a certain coolness and conveys a darker, more subdued impression. After a while, the dominance of the cinnamon fades and the rum only resonates a little. Now the vanilla aroma emerges clearly, accompanied by the remaining cinnamon notes. As the evening draws to a close, the fragrance fades gently and warmly, like a quiet goodbye. It does not say goodbye abruptly, but weaves itself gently into the atmosphere, like a poetic finale. A farewell that envelops the senses and preserves the magic of the moment for a moment longer.
An absolute favorite for me and in my top 5 winter fragrances that I have enjoyed to date.
