SHAMAL

Shamal is the fragrance named after the wind that sculpts the dunes of the Persian Gulf, by Nobile 1942, the historic Italian house of artistic perfumery born in Genoa. A spicy, gourmand unisex Extrait de Parfum, created for anyone who loves fragrances that tell a landscape rather than just a scent.

The Fragrance

Shamal tells the story of a pearl fisherman lying back tasting fruit, while the wind carries the scent of dates mixed with burning incense at dusk. A poetic tale that Nobile 1942 translates into a warm fragrance, able to evoke the desert and its suspended atmospheres.

How It Evolves on Skin

Shamal opens with Incense and Apple, resinous and fruity, giving an immediate warm, enveloping feel. The heart warms into Dates and Amber, sweet and soft, adding depth to the composition. In the base everything settles into Musk and Woody Notes, warm and long-lasting, for a trail reminiscent of a desert sunset.

Who We Recommend Shamal To

Shamal is perfect for anyone looking for a fragrance that's different from the usual, able to convey a landscape and an atmosphere rather than just a scent. It works equally well on him and her, gives its best on colder evenings when you want a warm, enveloping fragrance, and is the right choice for anyone who loves spicy, resinous compositions that are never predictable.
