Casta Diva Exceptional Edition by Nobile 1942 Reviews & Perfume Facts

An intoxicating olfactory vocalise

O pure Goddess, who silver

These sacred ancient plants

Turn thy beautiful semblance on us

Unclouded and unveiled.

The brave zeal ...

Of the ardent spirits,

Scatter on the earth the peace

Thou make reign in the sky.

Just as the Moon invoked by Norma, this fragrance has a strongly positive and soothing influence on the atmosphere around it. It is absolute star of the night sky,

and its silver, pearly light floods out upon everything.



Energising, rejuvenating and magnetic, wearing this perfume will turn a woman into a real star: whether it's a party, a cocktail, or a special occasion, a heavenly aura of romantic charm and the fragrance of Osmanthus will pervade the imagination and the senses of those around her.

Castadiva vibrates like a heavenly voice; the pure, floral notes of Egyptian Jasmine, Neroli and Ylang-ylang rise towards a deep blue sky in a swirl of green and fruity notes, exploding up high with Frangipani and Osmanthus. This intoxicating olfactory vocalise reaches its climax and maintains it with a warm Oak Moss base, softened by Ambergris, while White Musk and Vanilla seal this ensemble with a sensual yet reassuring harmony that is never excessive.
