Hi all,

I walked over to Soho today to go to the SMN store and accidentally discovered a sort of new store Min @ 117 Crosby. Anyway they had a small italian niche (husband and wife) brand: Noble 1942. I smelled a few on paper, but was wondering if any of you have tried the line and what your thoughts are. The Patchouli and Amber stood out and so did Ponte Vecchio.

My arms were covered already so I didn't try on skin. But I'm curious about longevity and overall thoughts.

P.S. ended up buying Lorenzo Villoresi : Sandalo

The only one I smelled so far is Anonimo Veneziano, an interesting flower/oriental. Never had the chance to test the others, yet!

Not to hijack the thread, but, I have a similar fragrance experience. My parents recently made a trip to Italy and purchased a bottle of Acqua Di Taormina for me. Anyone else here had a chance to sample it? I found that is smells very similar to Bergamote 22 by Le Labo.

Acqua Di Taormina? Never heard about it but it sounds amazing. In italy we have a lot of "Acquas" lines, they're getting very popular over here. You can check Acqua Di Bolgheri, Aqua Dell'Elba...

I'm actually not a big fan of this line. They're kind of generic...
