IL CAPRICCIO DEL MAESTRO

Il Capriccio del Maestro is the fragrance by Nobile 1942, the historic Italian house of artistic perfumery born in Genoa. A spicy, ambery unisex Extrait de Parfum, created by nose Michelle Moellhausen for anyone who loves fragrances able to tell a complex personality rather than just a scent.

The Fragrance

Il Capriccio del Maestro is a tribute to Giacomo Puccini, revealing his most private side: a contradictory character, made of laziness and genius, arrogance and shyness, a passion for women, cigars and solitude by the lake. Nobile 1942 drew from it a warm, spicy fragrance, able to convey every nuance of an extraordinary personality.

How It Evolves on Skin

Il Capriccio del Maestro opens with Rum, Cinnamon, Spices and Orchid, warm and slightly boozy, giving an immediate enveloping feel. The heart warms into Honey, Tobacco, Tonka Bean and Benzoin, sweet and smoky at the same time. In the base everything settles into Vanilla, Patchouli, Coumarin, Labdanum and White Musk, resinous and sensual, for a trail that lingers on the skin.

Who We Recommend Il Capriccio del Maestro To

Il Capriccio del Maestro is perfect for anyone looking for a fragrance that's different from the usual, able to convey a complex personality rather than just a scent. It works equally well on him and her, gives its best on occasions when you want to convey character and introspection, and is the right choice for anyone who loves spicy, ambery compositions that are never predictable.
