Levante Nobile 1942
Marine Vanilla
Marie Duchene
Umberto Nobile represented Nina Ricci perfumes and in 1942 opened perfumery for his wife. Love, unique combinations and in-house craft are essential for the brand. They concentrate on creations that stand the test of time rather than following trends in perfumery.
Levante is my first experience with Nobile 1942. It is an Italian word for sunrise. The mood of the Eau de Parfum is “a whole life on vacation”.
I get a lot of vanilla and caramel but it is fresh soft vanilla. Imagine you are sitting in a cafe close to a beautiful beach. You have a delicious dessert in front of you, and of course vista. You feel the fresh beachy air, and the sun is shining. You are having a fabulous time! This is the vibe I am getting from Levante.
A reasonably attractive pleasant fragrance. Great for summer vacation. It is for gourmand lovers. Basically, you must like your scent sweet.
People compare Levante to Bleu Turquoise by Armani Prive. They are both vanillic; however, Bleu Turquoise is woodier, deeper, more marine and masculine. As a result, Bleu Turquoise is more challenging to wear but more bougie to be precise. Levante is an easy-going niche scent, more on the feminine side. I am crazy about both, each for a different reason.
