I'm proud to present BACK to my shop,

The OG early 00's Y2K era - deep vintage - short ingredient - pre IFRA regulations - SCANNON S.A. - oakmoss loaded - discontinued formula - discontinued fragrance!

 Gucci Nobile Eau de Toilette!

If you know - you know!

This holy grail old-school gentlemanly green scent is a blast from the 1980's past.

Praised as the ultimate, and the ultra special, and best aromatic fougere in all of designer fragrances.

GUCCI's old school aromatic fougere is praised for taking the proper fougere template from the 1980's, while adding unique notes such as mace, terragon, and tobacco; resulting in an aromatic fougere that has a gorgeous spicy green woodiness and tobacco dampness along with the smooth shaving foam lavender herbal touch. This is TOP of the pyramid when it comes to aromatic fougeres.

A hyper loaded jam packed note listing of;

 Dirty lime, Bergamot, lavender, rosemary, tarragon, nutmeg flower, lemon, balsam fir, jasmine, geranium, rose, cyclamen, carnation, sandalwood, vetiver, cedar, patchouli, musk, amber, tobacco, tonka bean and HIGH concentrations OAKMOSS! Some citrus-lavender, rosemary throwback from the 70's, strong deeper balsam fir, green florals, and that musky oakmoss bomb. 

This is pure masculinity!

This green DNA from the prestigious brand of GUCCI is in the uttermost exquisite quality prior to harsh IFRA regulations, ingredient mandates, endangered ingredient resourcing, and budget cuts. 

An iconic GUCCI fragrance now completely discontinued and ultra rare.

Even if GUCCI was to bring this back, IFRA would make sure it wouldn't be the same.

IFRA regulations are to blame for such low quality modern fragrances, and discontinuations of classics. These mandates swept though designer brands slowly in early 2010's then faster and more intensely toward the end of that decade limiting natural ingredients that are deemed irritants, especially oakmoss. 

All these IFRA mandates and budget cuts results in modern GUCCI fragrances that are less versatile, not as elegant, and thinned out in recent formulations. Seeing as designer prices continue to rise as quality decreases, it's becoming pointless investing into them unless you invest in vintage from trusted vendors such as myself. 

Brands know this is how customers feel, yet the materials from the vintage formulas are just not possible to find anymore or are banned by IFRA, OR are just too expensive for the brand to resource. We now are in a modern day arrangement where designer fragrances are no longer held to the same high standards and more & more customers are embracing vintage formulas. Brands know this but won't do much about it other than pretend there isn't a difference in formulas.

GUCCI Nobile, is an absolute vintage fragrance DARLING.

The fragrance featured an S-tier niche quality, with freedom or artistic expression, no mandates, and no budget cuts; leading to a fragrance deemed one of the best classically masculine male colognes available.

This deep vintage macerated, pre-IFRA regulated listing impressively has the richness & performance of a modern day EDT Intense / EDP. This vintage fragrance exemplifies a vintage time capsule in more ways than one. A Kathy Gurevich masterpiece in its original envisioned artistic expression. A pre-IFRA formula that is regulation free & in the artists original vision with the best quality materials strength & performance.

Whether this be different standards to what an 'EDT' was back in the day or the heavier natural oakmoss ingredients - either way - what a concoction! Once you go from smelling modern fragrances to smelling this formula there is a complete understanding as to why this is one of the best selling designer aromatic fougeres of all time.

This is a rich niche quality green lavender, tarragon, balsam fir, rosemary, oakmossy BEAST.

8-10-12 hour + silage & strength!

The mystique of this 38 year old fragrance still mystifies the fragrance community. 

History was made in the late 1980's with what is known as one of the best aromatic fougere colognes ever made. GUCCI Nobile brings nostalgia to many, as it is just one of those classic masculine fragrances that will never be forgotten.

GUCCI's old school aromatic fougere is praised for taking the proper fougere template from the 1980's, while adding unique notes such as mace, terragon, and tobacco; resulting in an aromatic fougere that has a gorgeous spicy green woodiness and tobacco dampness along with the smooth shaving foam lavender herbal touch. 

This is TOP of the pyramid when it comes to aromatic fougeres.

A hyper loaded jam packed note listing of;

 Dirty lime, bergamot, lavender, rosemary, tarragon, nutmeg flower, lemon, balsam fir, jasmine, geranium, rose, cyclamen, carnation, sandalwood, vetiver, cedar, patchouli, musk, amber, tobacco, tonka bean and HIGH concentrations OAKMOSS! Some citrus-lavender, rosemary throwback from the 70's, strong deeper balsam fir, green florals, and that musky oakmoss bomb. 

This is pure masculinity!

Despite this being made over 3 decades ago; This is a timeless aromatic fougere fragrance

Timeless, elegant, clean, green and most of all ultra masculine.

Fragrance presented in a stunning vintage S-tier GUCCI brand quality

Owning this is a highly collectible piece of history.

Unfortunately,

Gucci Nobile EDT was discontinued in the early 2000's.

 Despite its success; news of oakmoss regulations approaching - GUCCI decided to retire it completely instead of put it under harsh reformulations. Now no modern fragrances compares to the high quality of aromatic fougere DNAS once distributed by GUCCI. Newer fragrances resembling aromatic fougeres are flat, weak, with no traces of oakmoss.

This discontinued fragrance was a potent, green, masculine, and luxurious with high levels of oakmoss - something GUCCI is not able to make this now with IFRA regulations, endangered ingredient resourcing, production company shifts, budget cuts, and due to an overall lower standard of perfumes made in the modern age. 

It's simply impossible to make a deeper heavy natural musky oakmoss nuance with synthetic ingredients - & all designer brands continue to prove this by releasing their modern formulas.

Fortunately,

At Guardian of the Fragrances, it is my mission to 'undo' all that, take you back into past by offering fragrances from their golden eras, & most of all offer passion & transparency in everything I do.

With me, you get a selection of unalerted, well preserved, authentic, relics from the past in their original intended vision of quality, & strength. 

With my passion in the art of perfumery, natural based ingredients, & a distain for all organizational overreach regulation & mandates; I make it my passion & joy to bring well preserved, authentic, & superior collectible formulas to my shop to share with the world.

With that said I bring you vintage Gucci Nobile Eau de toilette

THE TRUTH ABOUT BATCH WEBSITES - THEY GAS LIGHT YOU:

Vintage fragrances are well known to give errors on batch code sites to place the year. Vintage batch codes are either absent, will commonly have no result on batch websites, OR repeat every 8-10 years and mislabel the timeline. 

As a Revenue protection investigator & quality appraiser for 15 years in my previous career; these quirks are what attracted me to research listings by means product features, distributer history, zip codes, formula color, overall label information, and lastly the scent itself for accurate transparency - at least far more accurate than a shifty batch site.

Vintage formula grade: 

A+++

Number of ingredients: 3 (+ colorants) (Seen on vintage box)

(COLLECTOR 1 ON 1 - FINAL THOUGHTS)

This Y2K early 2000's GUCCI Nobile Eau de toilette formula just keeps getting more rare as we now move closer to 2030's & into a generation of more severe IFRA regulations weakening the quality & strength of perfumery.

 Mix that with the incredible 23 year maceration time & it's virtually impossible to be able to make this formula again.

Now dare I say this is one of a kind.

Allow me to emphasize how rare this formula is now and will be even more so in the future.

Fair price for a collector wanting to own this legendary fragrance in its best formula from the iconic brand of GUCCI

Just holding this observing it you feel its vintage charm.

A light sniff of the cap & your knees get weak and your taken decades into the past!

2003 listing is in absolute MINT condition so it is a time capsule from 23 years ago. Great collector's piece! 

Formula sat in dark cabinet, in its pitch black opaque presentation, & in its box for over 2.5 decades macerating - it's amazing how preserved this formula is.

Over 2.5 decades of maceration with pre-IFRA regulation quality results in a fragrance that resembles a modern EDT Intense / EDP fragrance. That means overall less applications - & a longer life of this precious discontinued formula.

Listing features 60 ml. / 2 fl. oz. of product. That's over 600 rich vintage applications & you only need 2-3 applications & you're good for an entire day.

Decent price for a collector to own this iconic original well preserved formulation!

These haven't inflated in price per ml. comparable to some other vintage perfumes out there...at least not yet.

I expect these to reach even higher prices someday - that's how divine this stuff is - a scent of a dark fresh forest.

There's a deep sense of accomplishment that comes with being of purpose for your community. Allow me the opportunity to provide this to you & be your lifelong fragrance vendor.

✓ FREE extra goodies with purchase

Other sellers send you the item you paid for with a sad invoice slip - feels so cold & impersonal. I go beyond that with sending you a goodie bag with purchase to make your fragrance investment more worthwhile. YOU even chose the free gift! A hand written thank you note for supporting my shop included. All items in my shop are accurately & fairly priced to reflect the value of the vintage fragrance. Special goodie bag/bonus gift are never factored into the pricing. It's truly a thank you gift.

✓ One-category shop

I’m not selling a mess of random various thrift items that I know nothing about. At Guardian of the Fragrances; you are shopping at a niche shop that specializes solely on discontinued perfumery formulations. ‘One category shops’ provide customers with a unique shopping experience that is backed with knowledge & experience within that category. By selling one category items; it shows I have a deep passion in what I am selling. Buying from fine-tuned one category shops makes all the difference & in result a rewarding shopping experience. That seller who has listed some sneakers, baseball cards, hoodies, & that cologne you want - he may know its authentic & well preserved, OR he may not. 

✓ Revenue protection process

With over a decade of professional Revenue Protection expertise investigating fraud & theft for my state of WI utility provider; all vintage fragrances in my shop are expertly authenticated. Examples of the process include batch searches, listing dating, differentiating formula differences, production quirk studies, hardware chks, product & cap weigh-ins, how long the performance lasts & the quality of that experience, ect. Anything that falls into my hands that doesn't pass this process never reaches my shop.

✓ Quality appraisal process

I value revenue protection process & quality appraisal in my shop to gain customer trust & I am on a mission to not disappoint you. 

✓ Mutual perfumery hobbyist & collector

I myself am a vintage fragrance hobbyist & collector. In fact, many listings come from my own personal collection after years of collecting back-up products as a hobby. As a hobbyist myself, I know exactly what my shoppers are looking for & what is sorely lacking in this sector. Studying & shopping for rare fragrances for my own collection has taught me our population is no where close to being fragrance experts. It's an art only a small population sees, and an exotic language only a few speaks. You even go on a forum discussion with hobbyist's & there's more questions than answers. The community needs my help. At Guardian of the Fragrances - I have those answers for you. I am here to give you common-sense truths that Designer brands & retails hold back from us. In fact it was poor aloof information provided to the public about fragrances that gave me the drive to launch my business in the first place.

Why should you spend SO much on a fragrance?

(I know you are pondering this if you are new to all this).

 ✅UNLOCKS STORED MEMORIES IN THE BRAINS HIPPOCAMPUS

Fragrances have a fingerprint. The brain is so intelligently designed - that it stores a fragrance DNA's composition precisely to the very last ingredient utilized at that time. Smell a modern formula & see what happens - your brain gets low key upset. 

Only that special formula composed 10-20-30-40 years ago is the key to unlock vivid feelings of nostalgia. 

✅BETTER QUALITY, INGREDIENTS, PERFORMANCE, & CREATIVITY

Made in times prior to culture regulations, production politics, corporate greed, & making man made chemicals for profit; you get the authentic formula(s) the perfumery artist(s) intended from that time resulting in more naturals, less synthetic/cheap aroma chemicals, richer compositions, bolder presence, more layers/less linear, & made in times where smoking was indoors- you get NUCLEAR performance.

✅SMELL BETTER & OR HIGHER QUALITY THEN OTHER MEN AROUND YOU.

In a mass society unaware of vintage fragrances - you will absolutely without a doubt outshine whatever they are wearing. Gain respect, stand out, be the most attractive smelling in the room. In general this is what makes the male gender so enthralled with colognes but vintage amplifies this to the next level. Stop endless influencer searches seeing if something modern performs - just buy vintage.

✅INVEST MORE IN VINTAGE TO SPEND LESS OVER TIME ON MODERN

Vintage fragrances are stronger & need less applications due to concentration. It's not a coincidence they are removing oils in colognes nowadays - they don't want us to know how weakened they are. Many collectors go niche to escape low quality fragrances when designer vintage is their solution.  Beautiful mass pleasing DNA's in the best quality & strength possible. The best way to go forward in perfumery is to go backwards.

If you buy a vintage - a product that would have lasted you a year is now lasting you over 2+ years. Think about it- you are going from essentially a modern day EDC (Modern edt) to a powerful parfum strength niche smelling formula. Once you go vintage it's illogical to go back.

✅VINTAGE FRAGRANCES ARE AN INVESTMENT THAT *INCREASE* IN VALUE

Due to the mass, devoted, & awakening population of the vintage fragrance community; vintage fragrances are a collectible commodity matching similar value in precious paintings, antiques, jewelry, gemstones, diamonds, & gold! Vintage fragrances are an investment, this listing will be MORE in 2-5-10-15 years. This is my favorite thing about being a collector; my purchase investments lack buyers remorse on as I am buying an investment for the future/ & or discreet savings to liquidate as needed. It's as easy to trade fragrances for cash as it is to liquidate your cash for gold.

✅OVERALL ENHANCEMENT OF THE ATTRIBUTES BELOW VS BUYING MODERN FORMULAS

✓Positive mood enhancer

✓Confidence booster

✓Alluring attractiveness

✓Triggers memories

✓Aromatherapy

✓Makes you more attractive

✓Enduring impact

✓Describes your personality

✓Attract other people

(Reformulation talk...)

Unfortunately,

 In a modern era's effort to make the small allergen pool of the population safe for the bigger masses 

(essentially a 'Safe than sorry' approach for everyone);

Harsh fragrance regulations came into effect within the last 20 years in the EU (United Nations) where nearly all fragrances are still composed.

The SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety), IFRA (International Fragrance Association) & the ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) came together together to ban many precious naturals, & unique aroma chemicals due to potential irritant concerns in a small pool of the population.

Every year it seems another ingredient is banned as these chemical giants are auditing & banning aroma materials for simply having slight reactions due to sensitivities. To ban something from a total population when said ingredient reacts negatively to only a small group of that population is an unnecessary overreach. 

To play nice & to still get credibility for selling 'Safe' fragrances; all Designer perfumery brands have submitted to these giants for EU support of their product(s).

Between 2010-2022;

The EU has now banned over 2,000 ingredients in the beauty & fragrance business.

This massive ingredient ban in beauty products is more than any other world region in history!

In comparison, the United States has banned only 17 ingredients from beauty products made in the USA.

Unfortunately for fragrance enthusiasts, a VERY small pct of designers make their fragrances in America.

By 2030; the EEB (European Environmental Bureau) anticipates over 5,000-7,000 ingredients to be banned in total.

Rules, reformulations, synthetic ingredients, cost-cutting, & keeping up with modern scent trends have weakened performance of modern favorites from the past. This is not a theory or paranoia, this is becoming more evident in the fragrance community since the rise of fragrance communities & fragrance Vloggers coming together to compare their findings.

 Since this confirmation of industries now releasing overly regulated, synthetic, & weakened modern formulas of classic fragrances, beloved vintage fragrance formulas are now highly sought after by collectors or simply average shoppers that just want to reunite with their signature fragrance in its original and true form.

Many are so accustomed to newer compositions they have no idea what they are not experiencing.

Vintage EDT formulas are well known to perform with higher concentrations equal to a modern Eau de Parfum or Parfum. Newer formulations of the modern age are said to perform somewhere between an Eau de cologne & Eau de toilette with lower quality, more synthetics, & average performance.

DET Vs. DPG:

A chemist in Germany did a gas chromatogram composition on a vintage fragrance & it's modern day formula.

 It was found that companies utilized a solvent Diethyl Phthalate (DET) on the vintage formula; which was known to have a stronger bonding fixative effect on what it touches. Modern day formulas now have Dipropylene Glycol (DPG).

DPG is commonly utilized in LIGHTLY fragrance'd shampoos while DET on the other hand is still in potent home fragrances. Home fragrance companies don't utilize DPG as the fragrance would immediately leave the base! 

Makes you think - "Why would I spend 100 dollars on a fragrance with DPG & no DET?"

2010's Oakmoss ban:

By far one of the most controversial & damaging IFRA regulations was the ban of natural Oakmoss. 

This popular natural ingredient has been in every legendary cologne for the past 50 years. All of those classics are now utilized with weaker synthetics. 

Since Oakmoss is a base note & has lasting fixative effects, modern fragrances now don't perform well without it.

2022 Lilial ban:

& if you thought your top / mid notes were safe. You're wrong. 

In 2021, The Scientific committee on consumer safety (SCCS) & the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) banned the note of lilial due to sensitive reactions. (That's it?). They simply stated "It may sometimes act as an allergen." 

Lilial was a common note in modern perfumery. 

With Lilial being a synthetic aromatic soapy aldehyde;  it gave it's fragrance a sweet yet refreshing intense floral green odor. No other aroma chemical has yet to produce the same effects.

Fragrance shelf-life lies:

 One of the biggest gaslighting scams is the myth that fragrances naturally 'Expire/go bad' due to time alone.

Fragrances are not your local produce guys, they are a chemist composition of naturals and fragrant chemical aromas that contain preservatives. That chemist recipe is THEN preserved in a pct average of 80 pct ALCOHOL. This 80 pct alcohol is combined with 10 pct aroma chemicals & 10 pct naturals. To assume 10 pct natural ingredients expire in a whopping 80 pct alcohol composition is a HUGE stretch.

Made with similar strategies, fragrances should instead be compared to vintage wine. Fragrances in fact get better with age from the process of maceration; when naturals soak for extended periods of time making the formula blend and smell more matured for an enhanced, smoother, more complex, & longer lasting scent. 

Fragrances are not fresh hand made cosmetics with no preservatives sensitive to time - quite the opposite!

Fragrances were even recovered from the 1912 Titanic wreck - with no sins of going bad!

A perfumery salesman perished in the wreck resulting in his briefcase of fragrances found on the BOTTOM of the ocean preserved for over 100 years. In an artifact examination room amongst the muck & tragedy,

 The recovered perfumery was presented to the room & by surprise brought the room to LIFE again, aromas of beautiful fruits, florals, resins, & woods sourced from so long ago. 

The experience was so powerful to the scientist- it made a grown man cry.

Fragrances may be poorly stored...but don't go bad from just the passing of time.

I guess any myth will be claimed for these fragrance industries that want you coming in to buy their modern products.

The modern recipe / The modern day scent:

Modern fragrances just aren't good you guys, whether that be a brand new scent or a reformulation of a classic.

Anything modern follows the same pattern; synthetic fruity tops to lock you in, aromatic regulated molecules to give you general masculinity, then a base gob-smacked with scratchy ambroxan / synthetic cloying sweetness to ultimately distract you so don't notice how ridiculous the entire composition smells.

It's truly depressing what they release nowadays.

You might as well wear your home cleaner.

fortunately,

In every generation...

...A guardian is born.

A guardian to make the world a better place.

Now, our memories are under siege.

You may wonder..."What is happening to my signature fragrance, & why?"

"Is it all in my head?"...It's not. 

Designer brands are gaslighting you.

Retail associates are lying to you.

They don't want you to know about me...

the Guardian of the Fragrances.

Vintage formulas taking asylum & preserved under my guardianship.

The awakening is growing, don't be excluded.
