Pontevecchio Exceptional Edition by Nobile 1942 is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Pontevecchio Exceptional Edition was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Marie Duchêne. The fragrance features Vetiver, Bergamot, Tuscan Iris, Tangerine, Palisander Rosewood, Patchouli, Geranium, Cedar, Jasmine, Incense, Ylang-Ylang, Sandalwood, Rose and Musk. “Our first creation. In the magic atmosphere of a place linked to the “magnificent” Florence of Dè Medici, we obtained the olfactive features of a contemporary, demanding man who knows how to keep a flow continuity with tradition and its values. After a beginning with bergamot, tangerine and incense, the notes of sandalwood, patchouly and vetiver warm up in contact with the skin of a man of strong character yet of a big heart represented by a generous nucleus with flowery hints. Florentine iris sticks out on bois de rose, on the masculine geranium and on cedarwood by weighing with its Italian charm. Ylang ylang, jasmine and rose humbly follow it, while sandalwood and musk end in style the composition. An elegant yet dynamic classic” — press release of the brand.

A Signature Fragrance

Vetiver
Vetiver, harvested from the roots of a tall grass native to India, exudes an earthy aroma that is both dry and slightly sweet. Its scent profile ranges from smoky and leathery to green and fresh, depending on how it’s distilled and aged. This versatile note thrives in tropical climates and has long been cherished for its grounding qualities.

Bergamot
Harvested from the bergamot orange tree native to southern Italy, this note opens with a burst of green and citrusy zest, quickly revealing an underlying floral nuance that softens its brightness. Its scent is both invigorating and comforting, reminiscent of sun-drenched mornings in Calabria.

Tuscan Iris
Tuscan Iris is not just an iris; it's a specific iteration grown in Tuscany, where its roots are steeped in the region’s rich volcanic loam. Its scent is both floral and earthy, with a subtle sweetness that hints at violets and a powdery finish that resonates like dry soil after rain.
