The Story Behind La Danza Delle Libellule

Inspired by Franz Lehár’s 1920 operetta La Danza delle Libellule, this fragrance captures the whimsical charm of a bygone era. The operetta, filled with flirtation, fantasy, and the elegant spirit of Viennese waltzes, becomes a fragrant ballet in this extrait interpretation.

Nobile 1942 wanted to celebrate the enduring femininity of its original La Danza Delle Libellule fragrance by presenting an exceptional edition that delves deeper into the senses—amplifying sweetness, warmth, and longevity to craft a more intense emotional experience.

In a world that often values fast and fleeting pleasures, this fragrance is a gentle but powerful reminder to pause and savor what’s beautiful, tender, and eternal.

The Perfumer: Marie Duchêne

The scent was brought to life by Marie Duchêne, the same nose behind many of Nobile 1942’s signature creations. With a background steeped in French classical perfumery, Duchêne has the rare gift of composing fragrances that evoke emotion and memory without overpowering the senses.

In this exceptional edition, Duchêne amplifies the gourmand character of the original—intensifying the apple pie-like sweetness while refining the base for a smoother, longer-lasting impression. Her artistry is evident in the seamless transitions between fruit, spice, and creamy woods.

Immerse yourself in the luxurious aroma of Nobile 1942 La Danza Delle Libellule Exceptional Edition Extrait de Parfum, a fragrance that masterfully combines fruity freshness, warm spices, and gourmand sweetness to create a memorable and sophisticated scent experience.

The Bottle: A Collector’s Jewel

For the Exceptional Edition, Nobile 1942 elevates the iconic presentation of La Danza Delle Libellule with sumptuous detailing and premium materials.

• The glass bottle is etched with delicate motifs, reflecting the airy, graceful movement of dragonfly wings.

• A hand-sealed wax emblem decorates the front, emphasizing the artisanal craftsmanship behind each flacon.

• The golden cap and luxurious outer box reflect Nobile 1942’s dedication to Italian heritage, elegance, and slow beauty.

This is not just a fragrance—it’s an object of art, making it ideal for collectors, connoisseurs, or as a special gift for a loved one.

Who Should Wear La Danza Delle Libellule Exceptional Edition?

This fragrance is for gourmand lovers who crave sophistication, not sugar overload. It’s for the dreamers, romantics, and those who want to leave a soft but lasting impression.

Ideal for:

• Lovers of warm, sweet fragrances with elegant complexity

• Autumn and winter wear, though perfect year-round for gourmand enthusiasts

• Special occasions, date nights, or whenever you want to feel extra indulgent

• Fans of perfumes like Guerlain’s Tonka Impériale, Parfums de Marly Oriana, or By Kilian’s Love, Don’t Be Shy

The Difference Between the Original and the Exceptional Edition

While the original La Danza Delle Libellule Eau de Parfum is beloved for its airy sweetness and whimsical charm, the Exceptional Edition Extrait de Parfum delivers:

• Greater concentration (Extrait de Parfum): meaning more natural oils, more sillage, and more staying power

• Smoother transitions between the notes—no sharp shifts, just a graceful unfolding

• Deeper base notes that linger on skin for hours longer

• Refined packaging and artistic details, making it a luxurious collector’s piece

This version retains all the charm of the original but elevates it to haute perfumery status.
