Nobile 1942 IL Giardino Delle Delizie 75 ml

I love perfumes but I'm not a big collector as I'm very picky with scents. I actually loathe perfume shopping and give up easily which is why I only have 3 other perfumes in my collection, two of which I like but don't love and rarely wear. My first big purchase was BR540 extrait. It was love at first sniff and it's been my signature scent for the past 6 years...I still love it and others absolutely adore it on me but now that it's been cloned to oblivion it was time for a change.

Over the past few months I've been sampling popular niche fragrances and nothing has given me the same feeling. I recently learned of Guidance's popularity and was curious about the extrait version so I made my way up to Niche Essence during their Black Friday sale to give it a try. I got my nose on Guidance and immediately I knew it wasn't for me...it didn't smell the way others have described it and I hate to say it, but it was funky to my nose. Then I tried Guidance 46 and was intrigued by the scent. Definitely unique and unlike anything I've ever smelled before. It's very hard to describe the notes because there isn't one note that stands out to me. I agree with reviews that it's a very well-blended perfume. Admittedly, this wasn't a love at first sniff for me and I left the store thinking it wasn't for me. It remained on my mind and so I went back and sprayed it on my wrist and left the store again. Still, not an immediate love but there was something about it that compelled me to go back in…
