Italian niche line Acqua di Parma will launch Acqua Nobile Gelsomino, a new Eau de Toilette version of Acqua di Parma Gelsomino Nobile:
A dazzling fragrance that celebrates the regal freshness of dew drops on jasmine blossoms. Crystal clear notes of bergamot, citron, and mandarin open the fragrance.
A heart of vibrant neroli and petit grain combine with the tender elegance of Calabrain jasmine to enhance its floral green character and create a bright, lingering silage [sic].
Acqua di Parma Acqua Nobile Gelsomino is available now for pre-order at Neiman Marcus, $170 for 125 ml Eau de Toilette.

When I see neroli, petit grain and jasmine together, I always have high hopes, but they always seems to disappoint me. I need to samble this 🙂
I did not love the original Gelsomino so doubt I’ll love this, but you never know. Love the bottle!
I think all the Aqua di Parmas, although lovely, are absurdly overpriced when you take into account longevity and/or sillage.
That is just my personal opinion.
True, although they’re not really alone in that I guess.
@Kaos seconding that — why not get some 4711 or the like?
I had to reread this several times.
So, the original scent is called: Gelsomino Nobile?
The flanker is called: Acqua Nobile Gelsomino?
Oh, boy…
There is a fine line sometimes, but not sure if this is a flanker or just a new concentration. Also possible that they’re starting a new range of lighter scents called “Acqua Nobile” & Gelsomino is just the first (that was my assumption).
The way they are using jasmine reminds me a little of Eau Sauvage by Christian Dior.
looking at the notes, i might like this one. definitely giving a try 🙂
