Il Capriccio del Maestro by Nobile 1942 is a homage to one of Italy's greatest composers: Giacomo Puccini.
This fragrance captures Puccini's complex personality and offers a glimpse into his eventful private life: He was a lover of extravagant parties, at once lazy and brilliant, proud and shy, charming and primal. Puccini enjoyed the social life but just as often sought solitude. His deep connection to the misty landscapes of his home lake near Lucca was almost obsessive. He loved the wild, boisterous life with its loud outbursts, hunting expeditions, and crude humor—and yet he constantly dreamed of escaping everyday life, of going to Milan to pursue a career, achieve fame, wealth, and enjoy the company of beautiful women. Women and cigars—a constant in his life.
Sensitive yet cynical, extroverted yet plagued by inner turmoil, Puccini oscillated between pure joy and deep melancholy. A creative but restless spirit, passionate in love and pain, often transcending social conventions—like his female operatic characters. And yet: also a notorious liar, a braggart, a doubter. This is how Augusto Benemeglio describes him in "Puccini e le sue donne."
The scent:
An oriental-spicy perfume that captures all these facets: Sensual orchid and seductive notes emphasize his passion; rum and patchouli underline his masculine aura as an irresistible charmer; exotic spices express his burlesque and poetic character; while tobacco and honey reflect his eternal love for women and cigars.
