The next in fragrant line in the Acqua di Parma Nobile collection, Rosa Nobile is described as ‘a thousand petals on the skin’. It’s an elegant, fresh, floral, green scent, that pays homage to the one of the greatest flowers – the rose -and celebrates its title as many a woman’s favourite smell.
Rosa Nobile captures the scent of dewy, honeyed, just-picked flowers, introducing freshness in the top notes by using Sicilian mandarin, Calabria bergamot and a dust of pepper. The heart blends the rich floral notes with lily of the valley, powdery violet, peony and the Centifolia rose. The base settles with cedar wood, ambergris and musk.
