Nobile 1942 Pontevecchio

PONTEVECCHIO and PONTEVECCHIO W are Nobile 1942 first fragrances.

At the beginning they had this difference between men and women’s perfumes: Pontevecchio was a Colonia Maxima (eau de toilette) and Ponte-vecchio Women was a Fragranza Suprema (eau de parfum). Now they both exist in Nobile’s fragrance’s collection, with an eau de parfum concentration, because the different interpretation of the main ingredient, iris from Florence, make both fragrances unique.

Let’s start with the story and the name. Pontevecchio ( in English: “old brid-ge”), it’s the most important bridge in Florence with its historical jewelry and leather workshop. A symbol of italian culture and the greatest, “magnificent” heritage of De Medici’s family.

It was thanks to Caterina De Medici that the art of perfumery approached in the French court in light of the elegant practice she acquired growing up and living in Florence.

Iris from Florence is the main protagonist of the fragrance and evokes the spirit of a man such as one of Nobile’s family: living with courage , a man with history and captivated by beauty and passion.

The fragrance was created in 2005 but in 2013 it became a Fragranza Suprema with an increasement of concentration that soothed woods and incense and gave more emphasis to geranium and the dustier notes of iris.
