Man is two men; one is awake in darkness, the other asleep in light.
Kahlil Gibran
Its character…
PATCHOULI NOBILE is an elixir of youthful spirit, in other words, the capacity of astonishment, enthusiasm, fighting for ideals, risking for love, rebelling against conventions and swimming against the tide.
The evocative magic of PATCHOULI NOBILE enfolds the soul and brings out the yearning for freedom and the courage to dare and go beyond. It is a fragrance incorporating the desire for renewal, change and interior revolution.
PATCHOULI NOBILE is an infinite and boundless emotional journey of oportunity, open-mindedness and spirituality; a return to the origins, communion with nature, listening to one's often drowsy but always living primordial instinct. PATCHOULI NOBILE stimulates creativity and lateral thinking, it opens up new ways of addressing the limits of our inner nature and the reality that surrounds us.
The mind weighs and measures
but it is the spirit that reaches the heart of life
and embraces the secret;
and the seed of the spirit is deathless.
The wind may blow and then cease,
and the sea shall swell and then weary,
but the heart of life is a sphere quiet and serene,
and the star that shines therein is fixed for evermore.
Kahlil Gibran Patchouli Nobile was launched in 2009. The nose behind this fragrance is Marie Duchene.

This is one of my favorite Patchouly fragrances. This one is earthy and sharp, sensual and dark, thrilling and mysterious, animal and almost disturbing.
An elegant, oriental woody perfume, fantastic for true patchouli lovers.
Sharp orange opening and than smoky patchouli, patchouli, patchouli, musk and some other sweet scent that I can not find out what it is. Anyway..it is a fantastic perfume !!!!
This is a bold, unapologetic patchouli which doesn't shy away from the earthier aspects. I am a little dubious of its being worthy of the poetic associations above, because it seems to be only a few shades away from the scent of pure patchouli oil. It is only complex in the sense that patchouli itself is a complex scent. Compared to straight patchouli oil, it is a bit softer, probably due to the labdanum and traditional oriental notes. Rather than attempting to be a perfume composition, it reminds me of the type of thing that SantaMaria Novella aims to be, bringing out the essence of the note.
However, that's not a bad thing, plenty of us might just want to revel in the essence of patchouli sometimes, in a slightly refined format. As such it isn't overpriced.
This is a great fragrance to demonstrate that masculine/feminine labels are often pretty pointless. How could you say that a bold patchouli is either masculine or feminine when it is used in so many compositions marketed to both sexes? It would be like saying the color green has an appropriate gender. But it will be percieved as masculine because even more adorned patchoulis than this usually are.
For about half a year i own this fragrance and I fully enjoy it. It's masculene, quite powerfull, enduring, warm and charismatic. But unless whiskered on more than once, not overwhelming.
The scent gives a feeling of heightenedness, but absolutely not in a bad manner. This is the kind of fragrence I like using when visiting a ball or teaching students at work.
One to try, but let it rest for an hour on your skin before deciding.
