Perdizione Nobile 1942 for women and men

Although it may share similarities with some of the "smells like" list, Perdizione is not as sugary and sickening sweet as most of the examples above. I'm a male who usually doesn't like sweet perfumes, but I quite like it. Sweet and powdery neroli in abundance, creamy sandalwood and vanilla. Again, it's sweet, but not too sweet. Perdizione is like Sablés cookies made with 50g of sugar. The above examples are like American banana bread made with 4 cups of sugar. Get it?
Great for cool/cold spring days.
Excellent performance.

A very lovely and long-lasting rendition of the orange blossom / marshmallow scent profile. It reminds me of Oriana a lot, but better performance and I definitely detect that bit of petitgrain in the top note, even though it does not last as long as I would have liked it to. Once that is gone, it'll just be a sweet, comforting orange blossom powdered-sugar candy fragrance, which projects well and lasts for several hours. It's like a sunny, capricious summer full of romance.

Last year didn’t last, after over a year became beast modo , has the same dna of love don’t be shy , Sintra, ansaam

Smelled the extrait version of this. 1 spray is beast mode. A better version of sintra, perfect for summer days.

Like diving into a vat of sticky orange-blossom honey while eating...tacos. Would be a love if I didn't get those corn tortillas in the background.

well....if underrated was a fragrance.....
top notes: white floral, vanilla, warm, citrus, sweet (candy)
middle notes: powdery, vanilla, light candy sweetness, fresh (irish spring), warm (summer/spring time)
base notes: vanilla, powdery

had a decant and now i need a bottle. for the price, this scent profile and blend is incredible. LDBS but a little more unique id say. A very wearable niche. Id give it a 9/10.

Smells similar with LDBS, Sintra and Oriana but powdery.

This fragrance, wow it’s very different on first spray I get zesty lemons it’s very citrusy to me it smells completely different to LDBS it actually reminds me of an old school lemon sent that I cannot remember the name of all I know is it has a blue or green label on it. This is just sweeter but not to sweet or sickly this also resembles Sintra as it has a greenness to it, this is a very interesting fragrance which is gonna take some getting used to.

Update:
I wore this fragrance today for the first time and I so enjoyed it made me happy and just kept getting whiffs of all the different notes to me it also reminds me of Mariah Carey M slightly in the dry down
I’m in love with this as find it very interesting.

This has a lot of potency on me, not at all what I was expecting looking at the scent pyramid and the descriptions below. On me this is a strong, more wintery, slightly aromatic and rich orange blossom neroli with honeyed notes (this would presumably be from the vanilla) and an almost nicotine like edge (must be something arising from the aromatic side - it has a bit of a sharp edge). It is gorgeous though but quite impactful so for me this is an occasion fragrance, something I would want to sample from time to time - when I want to feel like a tour de force. High quality blending, as always from Nobile. Review for the Suprema version.

This on me smells absolutely nothing like LDBS (which smells like Chinese food on me and I just can't wear it). This in contrast, at least on my skin and to my nose, smells like laundry detergent (I'm the best possible way) mixed with some happy love potion and vibrant candy all on one. It's very uplifting, feminine, and creates a nice scent bubble. I can't stop sniffing my wrist.

I took a real chance with this, worrying that the note pyramid might make this turn out to be something too feminine and/or too sweet for me. But Nobile 1942 has yet to steer me wrong. This opens with a big burst of fruitiness, and then dries down to a scent that's still fruity but has vanilla and florals (notably ylang-ylang). The restraint shown with the vanilla is pretty remarkable: it would have been so easy to add something even sweeter to it to make this smell like a fruit pie, and yet the perfumer resisted that and kept the fragrance from being too eager to please.

This is a rare gourmand I would happily wear, though it's more something to be worn when out having a good time rather than to the office. The bottle and the label are exceptionally beautiful.

The sillage and projection are remarkable, so go easy on this if you are to wear it indoors.

This smells exactly like Reckless from Roja, which smells just like LDBS! Also reminds me of a lighter version of Sintra by Memo Paris. It’s beautiful, lasts long, but it’s been done before.

This is preferable to LDBS. LDBS is not as sweet, doesn’t project as well, smells slightly musty. And this is available in 15ml bottle from Luckyscent which is better value for my use.

This is White Peacock Lilly’s demure baby sister. I really like buying this perfume in a cute 15ml bottle. I followed Bubbles 1964 cue and just gave this to a lady who picks up litter in my golf cart community. She loved it. All perfumes should have smaller sizes available like this one.
Edit- Going to buy another one for me!

Absolutely stunning.

The opening is equal parts orange blossom, vanilla and Ylang, then drying down to a white musk base. The pettigrain gives the scent a green feeling, and the orange blossom a soapy clean feeling—with just enough interest brought in with other notes: namely lavender and both bergamot and grapefruit….neither overpowers the other. Dry down comes sooner than I like (about an hour), but at least it’s a pleasant, sweet, vanilla musk aromatic.

I don’t agree that Perdizione smells mature, in fact I feel it leans young, carefree and feels like a summer vacation. There’s also a hint of formality, so I can imagine this working for special occasions. Last night I gave a girlfriend a Luckyscent 15ml and she was also swept off her feet and couldn’t stop saying how much she loved it.

Lastly, Perdizione works best on me when I spray it on my wrists. I enjoy smelling Perdizione a foot or so away because up close it’s too sweet for my liking. Overall though, I love love love it.

Smells like Guimauve from Reminiscence. But better quality. Very mature. Not for me.

Attractive but not particularly distinctive candied orange blossom. Reminds me of The World is Yours by A Lab on Fire, . That one is stronger, though I think a bit prettier and rounder once it dries down. I enjoy the initial whiff of Perdizione but my skin seems to bring out a funky note after a minute, something that reminds me of hand sanitizer. Luckily that seems to go away after the scent has faded into a Smarties-like sweet powder. A nice spring scent that just isn't wowing me. I will say it does seem to do better on cooler skin compared to others in this genre. Performance is okay if slightly below average. Lucky Scent sells a travel spray at a reasonable price, lower than most department store brands, in case anyone is tempted to blind buy.

Surpringly I found this perfume’s fraternal twin NOT Identical.. 90% similar (in my opinion) : glace a la fleurd’ oranger by kyse perfumes. Though I do prefer this one, the kyse perfume is budget friendly and has option by ml size. Both are orange blossom heaven

Got this as a free sample from Scent City and thank God I did as never heard of this house or fragrance. I've been saving up for LDBS. I have a lot of expensive perfumes but the paying 205 pounds for just 50ml had me procrastinating. So I get this gem and spray it on not expecting much since I have soo many samples. Ten mins later I've fallen in love. I honestly can't tell the difference with this and LDBS. I really don't like the lavender note in perfumes but I can barely smell it. I just smell creamy orange vanilla dessert. I can see this being a crowd pleaser too although I buy perfumes for me not others. What's even better is the price point and the lovely unique fancy bottle and I get to purchase from a lesser known house and support them. I would love to know the difference though between this and the more expensive Extrait if anyone has tried it as I want a FB.
EDIT: I got the FB. Lasts hours on me too

To my nose, this is so similar to LDBS but with a perfect punch of zesty lemon note
NOT as sweet as LDBS, but this actually reminds me of a meringue type dessert with maybe some sherbet .
I think I prefer this one as it’s so much more interesting and in my opinion I wouldn’t class this as gourmand .
This has an ok lasting power on my skin around 4ish hours
Sillage is pretty intimate imo
Safe blind buy? I think this is an easy one to to wear and I think most would find this enjoyable

Hello! This is a shout-out to site managers to ask that you please add the Perdizione EXCEPTIONAL EDITION to the database. I just ordered it and will review once I’m familiar with it. Thanks so much!

Ok until the Exceptional Edition is added to the database, I’ll share here that it’s very similar. Would describe it as slightly more green/neroli focused than the original. Greener & more citrus and quite similar to Sintra. I find the original sweeter and less potent and the Exceptional more neroli-green and a tad less sweet.

I bought a sample of this because I heard it had similarities to Oriana, but this is just way too green. I don't know if it's the petitgrain, but it's so sharp. It completely overshadows the rest of the notes. Bummer!

This is everything I wanted Sintra to be ! Great orange blossom scent without a the strong green opening note. Slighty sweet but not gourmand as LDBS.
The perfect love child between Sintra and LDBS.

Wow! 😍This is absolutely stunning! It has easily become my favourite orange blossom fragrance. I have come to the realisation that nobile 1942 can do no wrong and every single perfume I have purchased from them so far has been so beautiful and a successful blind buy.

This is a really sweet and syrupy orange blossom dessert, and it has some creaminess to it. Yet it remains so elegant and refreshing as the citrusy notes keep it from getting too cloying. It definitely has a sexy zesty quality to it. Imagine a dollop of vanilla whipped cream topped with loads of orange blossom syrup and candied lemon zest sprinkled on top. Just divine! 🌸🍋🍦

Also, in my humble opinion I would say that you need to LOVE orange blossom in order to enjoy this one because it is a very orange blossom dominant fragrance.

I was wearing Bottega Veneta Knot while my husband was baking a cake, and I loved its citrusy neroli-lavender-musk next to fresh vanilla cake so much that I set out to find such a scent in perfume form. Luckily, my decant supplier was selling this! For once in my life, it is the exact fulfillment of one of my "I wish I had a perfume that smells like this" whims. To my nose the neroli and orange blossom are front and center, but as with Knot they're not overly-indolic. The lavender-ylang combo is a nice counterpoint to the white flowers (and reminds me of Sleepy/Twilight from Lush!). Wearing it in summer now and it's just delightful, a vanilla that suits warm weather very well.

Similar to LDBS, but not a dupe.

The first initial spray is a bit green! Citrus burst and floral. Just not pleasant at first.
On paper, it's also a very green orange blossom and not enjoyable as a young woman in my mid 20's.
But on the skin, after about 20/30 minutes, the dry down I'd a lot sweeter! Much more creamy orange blossom and more similar to LDBS. I would wear this for sure.

7/10.

Easily my favorite gourmand orange blossom-- it's fairly light, a fresh green, and doesn't accept so much vanillic intrusion. Equally sweet and citric, it feels like dipping your spoon into a silky dessert made with tangerine zest, powdered sugar and orange blossom water. Paradoxically not a summer scent, though, as there is a cloying plasticky fruity pebbles accord that ramps up in the heat. In the cooler months though it's very elegant and easy to wear.

Whoa! This smells sooooo much like Memo Paris’ Sintra. If you’re thinking of buying Sintra buy this instead - cheaper. Beautifully blended. Very nice fragrance though not ground breaking. I’m glad I have it in my collection. Good day wearing. 7.5/10 rating from me.

Guys, has anybody tried versione in Extrait
Perdizione Exceptional Edition Estratt?
Is it big difference with classic edp?

It's so sweet yet when i move my hand, i feel smth refreshing in the air. I have this on one wrist and Safanad on the other. I sprayed Safanad as it immediately made me think of it once spraying Perdizione.

Safanad is lighter, fresher yet more prone to inducing nausea (it's a gorgeous fragrance dont get me wrong).

Perdizione is sweeter, denser, stronger and more beautiful, in my opinion. Safanad is more mature, Perdizione less formal and warmer. Although i really like Safanad, I much prefer Perdizione. They are similar but in no way one clone of the other.

This is a stunning orange blossom fragrance. To my nose there is a bit of green like Sintra. I wanted Sintra for my 60th birthday last year, everyone was sold out so I ended up getting Italica by Casamorati. I still had Sintra in the back of my mind, but couldn't justify another $300 bottle so soon. I just sampled this and see that Luckyscent carries it in the 15 ml which I have ordered. With the size of my collection, I just don't need another 100 ml bottle. It's also shockingly a better value than the 100 ml bottle.....$26.

Perdizione smells like a gourmand to my nose. I get a citrus cream pie. Very sweet, creamy. There is a bit of tang like the tang of a lemon meringue pie. I can see wearing this a lot during the summer while walking on the beach and holding hands w/ a sweetie. Very linear but sweet fun and flirty. A perfume for a young girl.

I’ve been testing this beauty on my skin for a while using a sample vial. I would love to get my hands on a spray decant before springing for the full bottle (which I probably will). Here are my impressions:

06/29/2022 - Over time and many wears from the sample vial, I’ve come to realize it reminds me of kumquat blossoms mixed with vanilla. I’m guessing the kumquat blossom smell is the neroli, as I am detecting a similar note in Tom Ford Neroli Portofino - this one is just sweetened by the vanilla. The juice starts off a light orange and deepens to orangey red as it oxidizes.

10/18/2020 - Initial impression is that it smells like a pack of smarties candy (the American variety, not the chocolate ones) - powdery, sweet, slightly fruity.

A slightly more ‘grown-up’ Love Don’t Be Shy, is a sense that it is more floral. Otherwise they share the sugared orange blossom accord that is so typical for LDBS.

Smells like quality and has great performance.

Between the two, I’d go for this, the price / quality ratio is a lot better than in LDBS.

Upon first contact, I found this of a quite unusual sweetness. Somehow, smth I feel I've smelled before though but still can't remember where. So sweet that makes even Lira feel fresh, smth I've never thought I might say. I find these 2 very similar due to citrusy-caramely, extremely sweet combo.

But despite it's extreme sweetness, it has that citrusy touch that is so stubborn to cling to the sweetness even in the drydown, preventing it from being just a boring, extremely sweet fragrance. ( unlike Lira, where the citruses die eventually, leaving just caramel, in the end. The reason I did not purchase a full bottle, afterall).

I only have a small decant, i will use it once on me to see how i perceive it during the day. But 99% I will get the full bottle very very soon. Love how I still feel the citruses in the very drydown, meaning the 2nd day after spraying it.

Just lovely!

Has anyone tried the Exceptional Edition which is the extrait and can advise on how it compares to the EDP please? Pondering a FB of this beauty and wondering which to get. I have sampled the EDP only and don't see an entry on Fragrantica for the Exceptional Edition version.

My bottle of Perdizione is from last year. My bottle of Love Don't Be Shy is from this year. Perdizione performs better on skin than LDBS. I must carry a decant of LBDS with me to respray throughout the day. Would not need to do that with Perdizione.
Regarding the scent, they remind me of each other from the first sniff, and that is why I am comparing them. They are, however, different enough to have both. I do prefer Perdizione, I like that very unique green take on this kind of profile. But I like LDBS in a different way. The dry down of Perdizione is gorgeous.
Edit: Changed my mind... I prefer LDBS.

Every time I wear Perdizione, I imagine this fragrance concealing me in a fluffy pink and orange shroud that takes the form of massive, lush, and shimmery feathers. Somehow delicate and robust at the same time, very romantic and charming, an absolutely darling addition for any orange blossom collector. Nobile 1942 also prides itself on its bergamot and rightfully so with this scent. Modest projection, approx. 6 hours of wear, and a really lovely drydown.

I have LDBS 10ml. and I have a sample of Sintra but between all of these orange blossom perfumes I blind-bought Perdizione and it is the perfect perfume from this range.It has that green not like in Sintra and that sweet orange blossom note like in LDBS(I do not feel lavender in it at all). So it is a great mix for a very good price and it has good lasting power and silage.

Very similar to Love dont be shy but somehow not as good ? Very powdery where Ldbs is fluffy, creamy; it finds a sort of balance in its sweetness that makes it enjoyable, albeit not very... original.
Perdizione on the other hand is bit mote screechy, yet could be a replacement if you’re not too demanding. Overall, nobile 1942 has been a huge let down, and regarding this frag i wasn’t expecting much but i still was disappointed.

Wow, this fragrance is absolutely gorgeous. It opens with fresh citrus and dries down to a fruity vanilla. Leans a bit feminine but any confident man can pull it off, too. Longevity on my skin is stellar, at this writing it's 12 hours into it and it's still going strong. Projection is moderate but sillage is amazing.

It's a shame that none of the Youtube reviewers ever seem to mention this house because they've got a lot of great fragrances in their collection. For me, from those I've tried, this one is the best. I highly recommend trying it out for yourself because it's quite special in my opinion.

Gorgeous fresh gourmand! Youthful. You have to enjoy neroli to like this. The lavender is harmless. Smells natural and sweet, but not overly so. I love it.

This isn’t a dupe for Love Don’t Be Shy, it is much lighter and not gourmand at all. A pretty orange blossom scent for spring and summer though.

I'm in love with Perdizione, my choice for this summer. Never have I thought I'd find a satisfying orange/neroli scent, but here it is, sweet and still appropriate for everyhing. The other day I used another perfume and took the decant of this from my purse and sniffed this one instead, that's how much I'm impressed. Lasts about 7hrs and I think that someone could smell it standing a meter away

Yeah, straight away I’m getting Love by Kilian vibes, but I feel like that’s just the prominent orange blossom in both. I find LBK more gourmand and sugar sweet than this. I am getting the neroli prominently in this though which I feel gives it a freshness. All I really smell is neroli and orange blossom. It’s nice. 6.5/10

I love this fragrance, but as always they had to do something to it...the first bottle had a red liquid, gorgeous, long lasting, now they’ve made the bottle prettier but toned down the concentration. You can see in pictures that it’s a light orange colour now and the longevity is not what it used to be. Bummer...

Interesting fragrance, but I am not a huge fan of it. Some people are comparing this one to Love don’t be Shy by Kilian, and yes, I see some similarities, but Kilian is much softer, sweeter, more powdery, while Perdizione is brighter, citrusy-green.

"Slightly Sweet Neroli Lavender Vanilla"

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS!
Attention everyone who loves scents such as Kilian Love don't be shy, Memo Paris Sintra, Parle Moi Guimauve de Noel and L'Artisan Seville a l'Aube (discontinued) and Kilian Sweet Redemption (discontinued): Check out Nobile 1942 Perdizione!

Perdizione is a sweet orange blossom vanilla scent, that starts off with lavender and bergamot at the top, which then becomes a sweet orange blossom vanilla fragrance once it dries down. It is so reminiscent of the fragrances I listed (reminiscent not the same) above AND it is housed in an attractive bottle (with a nice spray mechanism), has moderate longevity and sillage AND is less expensive (not cheap but a lot less). It's a beautiful scent that smells natural and not as artificial as Love don't be shy. I love the way it weaves in and out of the notes pyramid, I enjoy smelling the space between notes and individual notes separately for the first hour. There’s an airy natural and herbal/fresh quality before it hits the sweeter dry down. Perdizione is a delicious and crowd pleasing little gem. I blind bought this and am absolutely thrilled with it.

Notes: I spray about 6-8x to get moderate sillage and longevity. I’d describe this as both fresh + sweet (kind of the way Mon Guerlain is like that, but not similar to Mon Guerlain, just that similar "fresh and sweet" personality).

I love Perdizione 10/10. This scent profile is so totally my jam. Literally thinking of purchasing a back-up just in case (even though I just bought a bottle). With so many of my faves being reformulated or discontinued back-ups have become a necessary thing.

PS: just wanted to say don't be afraid of the lavender note in this. It's nothing like the bug spray in Mon Guerlain. Also for additional point of reference, Perdizione reminds me the most of L'Artisan Seville a l'Aube and Memo Paris Sintra because it has a much stronger herbal/aromatic and citrusy character than Kilian Love don't be shy. It's much more natural, green, and bright smelling than Love don't be shy.

Whenever I wear this, Im always stopped and asked, "what are you wearing?"
"you smells so good!" "write it down.”
This is beautiful. It last forever on your skin and clothes.
Smelling like dessert while wearing this.

I basically smell orange blossom with vanilla and ylang ylang. I love it! -

I'm thinking I may have gotten a bad batch because all of the previous reviewers are mentioning "sweet" while describing this. I don't find this sweet at all. I'm getting orange blossom, and a non-sweet vanilla. This is totally unisex. If it had added sweetness it would have been a love for me, but now I'm just hoping my husband will help me finish the bottle.

Finally got this gorgeous bottle! I like to think of this as a vanilla perfume, as it’s one of THE best vanillas I’ve ever smelled! The late drydown is allll creamy sweet warm vanilla goodness! However, you must love orange blossom & neroli to love this. It’s got that same fluffy neroli gourmand type as By Kilian Love, but with the brightness (& spice?) of Orange Blossom. Do you remember Lush Orange Blossom? I had the solid stick years back. This is that same orange blossom! Plus vanilla creamsicle. It warms up gorgeously and just gets better as your body heats up. (Never gets sour). There is something summery or maybe even beachy about it- Love can be cloying but this has the lavender/bergamot and fresh bite that keeps it gourmand summer perfection.

PS I’ve layered it with Soleil Blanc and that’s become my new summer staple! 😍

I love this fragrance. Neroli and orange blossom bomb. But when you layer this with Chanel No5, you will get a concoction out of this world...

Luminous, dense, lush, sweet orange blossom and a very hefty dollop of vanilla. On me, the vanilla gets amped to a heady gourmand sweetness - almost like a very dense, moist vanilla cake that's been doused with orange flower water. I smell the petitgrain more than the ylang or lavender. It's very pretty, but I'm not a fan of vanilla gourmands, so this gets a pass from me.

If you love vanilla and orange blossom, you should definitely check this one out.

OMG... LOVE at first sniff.....

Delicious, sweet orange blossom. But there is something to this that makes it different. Petigrain? Lavender? It is a real gourmand heaven, lots of vanilla....like a sweet cake.

Creamy orange vanilla delicious heaven in a bottle.

Soo good, it stops people in their tracks and I get asked all the time. "OMG, what are you wearing? It smells soo good"

I'm finding so far with Nobile 1942 fragrances that the fragrance of the initial spray has nothing to do with how it develops after minutes or even hours. At first spray this fragrance was a little too full-on sweet/flowery for me - a little disturbing even, but as it settled and developed, some rich, warm tones came out with a subtle but sturdy vanilla coming through, and it's just gorgeous. It's sweet, light, positive, sunny, and yet complex. I couldn't wear this every day, but it really is for me a must-have special occasion fragrance. it's got a perfect cocktails-by-a-summer-sunset kind of feel.

Perdizione is a beautiful, citrus, vanillaish creation. At first I get a burst of delicious neroli, orange blossom mixed with some sweet vanilla. The dry down is just pure citrus on me. Perfect for the summer months. It is a bit strong so 2 sprays is enough.

This is an interesting scent. Sweet but cut through with neroli. So sweet that it borders on gourmand. I get the neroli and orange blossom but also big dollop of sweet vanilla. I did hope this would be a lighter and brighter scent seeing lavender and petit grain listed in the notes. They do eventually come more to the fore after an hour.
This is all too heavy for my taste.
Moderate longevity and sillage.

One more amazing masterpiece from Nobile 1942! The day i got this one, i didnt understand i hate it or i love it. But now, within everyday i love this more and more! As always so good quality, unique and so addictive! 10/10

This is almost identical to Love [don't be shy] by Kilian!!
I was so stoked that I kept asking people if they could smell the difference, and most of them end up just as surprised as me!
I mean.. HALF the price 50% more the size (by a reputable niche brand and not some cheap knockoff), this has got to be a gem!
Although about an hour in, the lavender starts to come out and you can tell the difference then; it's airier and more aromatic, which can be a good thing since Love is cloying (and artificial) for some, but I'm one of the few who doesn't like lavender on the skin :/
