Gucci Nobile Gucci for men

Why do they discontinue the greats? never been paired since! Gucci must re launch this timeless classic once again! miss nobile so much! shame on gucci!

One of my favorite spring Gucci scents--I still have some in the small 2 oz bottle my aunt gave me when I was a little boy. If you ever want something that smells very close to this but don't want to pay $400 on Ebay, but a $12 bottle of Caeser's World or an even closer but more expensive alternative is Cartier Pasha.

This is a Masterpiece, Best Gucci of History, 10/10

This is still my all time favorite scent. Drakkar Noir 2nd. I still have a few 2 & 4 oz bottles left and use it for special occasions. Gucci needs to bring this back 4 sure. Always get lots of compliments when I wear it. Must go well with my chemestry ? Never have found a replacement for this one.....everytime I do shop for a scent ...this is the Standard I judge all scents by. It's crazy. However... Ambercrombie sells one for men called Fierce...that i wear as well. It has a similar wear quality but a diferent pleasing scent. I also get compliments on.

Esta fragancia, muy clásica ya, para el que no la conoce, seguramente al olerla por primera vez, su impresión va a ser reconocerla, porque es un aroma bastante común de la old school.
Debo decir que tiene un poder y una fuerza descomunal. Dentro de mi colección es una de las colonias con el mayor rango de fijación y proyección. Con tan sólo 1 atomización, me dura todo el día. Suena increíble pero es cierto.
Al estar discontinuada es muy difícil de conseguir hoy en día.

I still have this rare cologne after it was discontinued many years ago. How was I able to obtain it for free? Well my dad is not a big fan of any cologne but yet he received Nobile as a gift from a relative! He rarely wore it so as a kid I would sneak into my parents room and spray a few dashes on me and I would be off to middle school smelling like an old school pimp! Later my mom would whip my ass for wearing my dads cologne saying I was to young to wear that stuff...and she was right haha! I finally took the bottle with me when I started college.

My impression as I am typing up this review and sniffing Gucci Nobile at the same time...I smell a citrus blend with a touch of herbs laid out on a wooden plate. Its nice its not offensive and yet it stands out quite strong inside a room. Compliments are a welcome addition as you make your way from one lady to another! Oh yea this reeks old school pimp haha! Its elegant and if it was still available today at a department store it would still hold its ground against other popular fragrances.

I rarely wear it because I like to brag that I own half a bottle and even though its not the best... it still brings back memories of a time when it meant the world to me. If you happen to come across Gucci Nobile buy it and go make yourself some new memories with it.

8 out of 10

عطري المميز من بدايات انتاجه ولا زلت احتفظ بعلبة 5 مللي جديدة الرائحة فواحة جدا ومنعشة وتثبت في المكان الذي تمر منه رائحة البرغموت مع اكليل اكليل الجبل و الفتيقر واضحة جداتكلمت عن هذا العطر وانه عطري المفضل في احد المنتديات وهو موجود الى الان عام 2001 ت

I once had a bottle of this. It smelled pretty good (7/10 for scent), it lasted very well and had great projection (for some reason the ones that smell decent or less often do). The main problem I had with the scent is it had so many other fragrances that it smelled very similar to--Caesars Man is almost an exact copy minus a lime note and Cartier Pasha for men isn't far behind and Drakkar reminds me of it.

At first sight.. Green Juice in the bottle..... Maculinity plus authority in a bottle...my territory. I was lucky to grab the last 125ml bottle in a corner shop, I did'nt realise it at the time so I greedily "wolfed" it down thinking I could easily go back for another. That was nine years ago. Even on my travels I have yet to come across another bottle. Lucky me...at least I still got the memories.

If i could pick any scent to take to my grave, you're looking at it. Why do they discontinue the greats? (sad face)

Too funny i had this scent back in the early nineties and i bought i cheap (100 ml for a very low price)if i hsee the prices n ow asked for it (300 $)
I liked it but i cannot remember the whole pallete of ingredients i did liked it but it was a very mature cologne. a sophisticated upperclas scent, i need to resmell it someday in a way...

Highly recommended.
Hard to find.
Based best in men over 40 years of age.
But it also has plenty of style for a young man who has a strong presence and impressive.
I'll never forget the smell of perfume.
Family keepsakes.

Such a unique, rounded scent that I can't quite describe offhand, Gucci Nobile is a hidden gem that will grow on you easily if you give it a chance.

Gucci Nobile is most definitely an aromatic fougère in the style of Drakkar Noir, but it's much more refined and enjoyable. What captivates me the most is the green, herbal lavender-rosemary-tarragon accord in the top complimented by patchouli. The lavender has a "foody", "cakey" feel to it, the same sort of smell I've detected before in lavender-dominant scents like Hypnose Homme by Lancome and Rive Gauche Pour Homme. Right out of the sprayer, I get a BEAUTIFUL sweet green accord that I've honestly never smelled before in a fragrance. There's also a brown, dry tobacco note in there that isn't smoky at all. As Gucci Nobile descends into the drydown, it gets deeper and darker, at times crossing paths with the green, spicy tobacco of Aramis Havana, or (dare I say it) the rugged, oily leather of Patou Pour Homme. However, Gucci Nobile manages to maintain this fougère character all by itself and it stays that way for a while - the stuff has amazing longevity.

I can't help but feel that all the inexpensive, wildly popular aromatic fougeres of the past were all trying to be like this. Gucci Nobile was the prime target. Brut laid the foundation, Drakkar Noir presented the idea (it got sort of close), but Gucci Nobile perfected the aromatic fougère with an intricate balance between lavender, green notes, and herbs. A perfect, comforting fougère with everything in its right place had been achieved...

...But alas, Nobile was doomed from the start. By the time Drakkar Noir was the poster boy of 80's masculines, the aromatic fougère genre said "Fuck this, I'm tired of the same ol' same ol'..." and went in the direction of Green Irish Tweed, Cool Water, Eternity, and so on. Just like Bon Scott died just as AC/DC was reaching their apex of popularity, Gucci Nobile (and Patou Pour Homme Prive, respectively) marked the absolute perfection of the aromatic fougère genre, but died too soon in a sea of trendy fragrances going in totally different directions.

Flash-forward nearly 20 years later, a little-known house by the name of Alexander da Costa creates a fragrance called "Nobile Royalty", which is extremely affordable and has people raving that it's a resurrection of Gucci Nobile.

Well, I own a bottle of Nobile Royalty, and I can say that it's VERY CLOSE, but it has a sweet, tar-like note reminiscent of a Lush store that differentiates it from Nobile. The character is there, but he's not our old friend. Nobile stuck to that aromatic fougère character through and through, representing stern, reliable masculinity.

Gucci Nobile is still out there, but it commands astronomical prices. I recommend every guy with an interest in fragrances (especially the aromatic fougère genre) should try Gucci Nobile, if only to understand what a great fragrance smells like.

As a final note, people often talk about the best fragrances in each category: e.g., Shalimar as the best oriental, or maybe Joy as the best floral. Gucci Nobile is the greatest aromatic fougère ever made, hands down.

verry nice parfum for love nights

I had Gucci Nobile as a gift from a good friend on Fragrantica and what a surprise! It's rapidly becoming one of my favourite non-powerhouse fragrances from the past together with Insensè, Givenchy's Vetiver and Le Troisieme Homme. AMAZING!

Gucci Nobile is a great alternative to the vulgar ostentation of opulence and to the "straight in the face" attitude of pretty popular and pretentious niche brands I won't name here. In this world dominated by "Greed" and ignorance, GN is the perfect fragrance for the laidback guy who doesn't need to shout out loud his charisma and elegance. He's self confident, cultured, mannered but not affected, generous, traditionalist but not a pharisee, aknowledged, discreet...and noble.

A CLASSIC fougère with herbaceous notes, tobacco, citruses and a slight touch of lavander that's incredibly delightful. Gucci Nobile surely deserves a place in the "classic fragrances olympus" . Sadly discontinued. I guess Frida Giannini won't hear us...

Absolutely recommended!

Rating: 9.5/10

wore it during my days at high school

smell herBal, it's strong
my mom loves it
i used to wear it just to wear a fragrance
i had a few Bottles like three or four
and used this to not waste the one that i used to like Better than this (swiss army)
never impressed me much and never got me compliments
it is very very very mature

a female friend Back in those high school days once told me that i smell like her father lol

my Bottle is getting to it's end, dayum it lasted a long long time, when i used to wear it ,it was aBout 6 or 7 years ago

right now that im smelling it, its kinda getting my attention

I know what I am going to ask is an impossible question, do not shut me but, as a desperate lover of Gucci Nobile whose last bottle is going to finish very soon, I am looking for fragrances that are as close as possible to Nobile.

I have tried some (e.g.: Gucci by Gucci), but this way it would take ages, I am not an expert in parfumes or fragances so I do not know how to do a backword search starting from the Nobile's notes I can read on top of this page and find other fragrances that contain some of them.
In essence, I am trying to circle down to maybe 10 candidate to start buying and trying them

Any suggestion ?

Thanks

The best and most wonderful fragrance ever

I use to own this frag, & while this is not my style, I can say that I appreciate the development of the structure of this frag. It is very much so a powerhouse 80's scent! Not for the weak of heart! Greens & lemon smell alright I suppose for that time. This is a mature mans cologne... But anyone who can pull it off would b fine. I am not 1 of those people.

@daniel delouv,

thanks a lot for the info about gucci 'nobile~-alexander de casta 'nobile royalty .

What a sin that this wonder of a fragrance was discontinued. I remember luxuriating in this lovely green elixir and receiving endless compliments. It is like losing a dear friend. Why Gucci, oh why did you do this to your fans?!

Right out of the gate it let's you know this is no wall flower. Top notes are strong and assertive. After the initial citrus blast it settles down nicely into the middle notes (love the balsam fir) and then glides into the the base notes (nice cedar). For me this is a year round wear (holds up in Winter and frefreshing in the Summer). May be from the late Eighties but certainly not dated. A pleasure to wear and always gets a nice reception from ladies.

its like white linnen on a woman the only
frag t be on a man.

It's a shame this is discontinued. The only time I wore this was when I was over my friend's place - he had an almost-empty bottle of it - and I'd give it a spritz every now and again. Never regretted it, either. This is a very pleasant, deep cologne, a good dive into all kinds of greens and beautiful wood notes. Nobile is a man's cologne, without succumbing to the stereo-typical musky/leathery/spicy formula of other scents from its era. This definitely would be appealing to women who happen to be in your zone. Nice longevity, nice packaging, and just nice all around.

great rich aroma its a full bodied scent and i strongly reccomend it this is very elegant and refined and totally hip

is one of the most beautiful masculin fragrance in the world...Be sure of that.

go to ebayer jf1528 this guy got a lot and is a serious business mam.but be prepared for the prices this is one of the most wanted and rare frag

Overpowering top notes found in fragrances launched in the 1980s headed by bergamot notes, a common attribute among fragrances launched in the 1990s - why am I thinking of CK's Eternity?.

Excellent longevity and sillage. This makes of Nobile a very complex fragrance, something that is beyond my comprehension since I havn't got the time to study it.

Gucci Nobile is in the top 2 of my all-time favorite fragrances. Issey Miyake being the other. I have been buying Nobile since it was first released. Once I walked into a department store going out of business and found a 4oz bottle for $20...you know I snatched it up in a heartbeat! heheh Weird that the description mentions lemon scent, I've always noticed a top note of lime. I always get compliments when wearing Nobile. It has a nice masculine scent, not overpowering. I find it to be a very romantic fragrance.
