The Maestro's Caprice

The Maestro fragrance by NOBILE 1942 is dedicated to one of the most important composers Italian music has ever known: Giacomo Puccini.

The fragrance reveals Giacomo’s private world, highlighting his character.

“He loved boisterous company. Lazy and brilliant, neurotic, arrogant and shy, playful and primitive: he loved being with others, yet at the same time felt the need for solitude; he was almost morbidly attached to the mists of his lake, he loved wandering through the marshes, the breaking of the peace of wild nature, the shots of rifles, the curses and blasphemies of his people—and yet he dreamed of nothing but escaping it as soon as possible, going to Milan, where he could make a career, where fame and glory, wealth and beautiful women awaited him. Women and cigars, a constant in his life. Sensitive and cynical, extroverted and tormented (sudden and noisy laughter, often coarse, was followed by melancholy, restlessness, and gloom), imaginative but inconsistent in his work, ready to love and suffer with an unabashed passion, almost always disregarding the rules, like his female characters, but shamelessly dishonest, boastful, and unfaithful. This was Giacomo Puccini.”

Excerpted from “Puccini and His Women” by Augusto Benemeglio

An Oriental and spicy fragrance whose notes evoke the Maestro’s character.
