About
Rosa Nobile by Acqua di Parma is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women. Rosa Nobile was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is François Demachy. Top notes are Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Pepper; middle notes are Rose, Peony, Violet and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Musk, Cedar and Ambergris. The Nobile collection by the Italian house of Acqua di Parma presented a new fragrance dedicated to rose flower. Acqua di Parma Rosa Nobile complements the luxurious, sophisticated and very elegant collection of fragrances among which are Iris Nobile, Magnolia Nobile and Gelsomino Nobile inspired to iris, magnolia and jasmine.By following the Italian collection and selecting the best ingredients to represent the style of the brand, leaders of the house of Acqua di Parma selected a special sort of Centifolia rose, which grows and blooms only in Italy, to be the inspiration behind the new perfume. The composition of the fragrance ROSA NOBILE opens with a luminous, juicy, Italian-style signature of bergamot and mandarin, illuminating the floral heart with their notes, spiced with a pinch of black pepper. Citruses and tart notes of pepper lead us to Italian rose which has the main role in the composition, enriched with lily of the valley, velvety violet and gentle peony. The base incorporates dry, sophisticated woodsy notes of cedar and ambergris, surrounded with sensual musk.The special sort of Centifolia rose selected as the ingredient of Rosa Nobile grows in the rose garden in Piedmont, on a limited organic plantation near the city of Alba. Buds of this sort are hand-picked at early dawn while the garden is still dewy. The picking lasts 40 days in May and June when the scent reaches its peak and is the most intense.The new perfume ROSA NOBILE arrives in the characteristic flacon form like the previous Nobile editions, but its fluid is in a warm pink shade this time. The fragrance is available as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum, accompanied by perfumed body care products.
