Ambra Nobile by Nobile 1942 is a Oriental fragrance for women and men. Ambra Nobile was launched in 2000. The nose behind this fragrance is Marie Duchêne. Top notes are Amber, Bergamot and African Orange Flower; middle notes are French labdanum, Immortelle and Patchouli; base notes are Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Virginia Cedar and Vetiver. …Oh woe is he who suffers endless, sleepless nights, waiting for the longed-for day to break, and the sweeter and deeper that longing grows, the more promise tomorrow holds!... How different it is, how contrary, for happy lovers in the wintry cold, whose nights are bright and brief, while their day is long and dark!... From “ Ambra” by Lorenzo the Magnificent, on the myth of Ombrone, who would stubbornly continue to love the wood nymph Ambra for ever. AMBRA NOBILE evokes “nights for happy lovers are bright and brief” inebriated by the aphrodisiac perfume of amber, combined with the warm, citrusy, resin notes of labdanum, the liquorice notes of Helichrysum, whose leaves shine in the sun like gold (“golden leaf”), the “manly” tobacco hints of the Tonka bean, and a slight, delicate sandalwood finish as the calm after the olfactory storm.

A Signature Fragrance

Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean, derived from the seeds of the Dipteryx odorata tree found in South America, brings an essence of vanilla with hints of almond and caramel. Its aroma is both warm and comforting, reminiscent of rich desserts yet grounded by a subtle earthiness that lends depth to any perfume.

Sandalwood
Sandalwood, sourced from the heartwood of trees native to India and Indonesia, carries a rich, creamy aroma that is both smooth and slightly sweet. Its scent is often described as warm and woody, with a powdery undertone that adds depth and complexity to any composition.

Virginia Cedar
Virginia cedar, sourced from the eastern United States, carries a deep, resinous aroma with hints of sweetness and a subtle bitterness. This wood note is characterized by its dry, woody scent, which can evoke images of aged timber and forest floors underfoot.
