NOBILE 1942 'A Grazia EDP 75 ml 'A GRAZIA: the cult of San Gennaro has always been rooted in Neapolitan culture and is still deeply felt today by Neapolitans who have a constant and above all equal relationship with the saint: a constant dialogue, a confidential relationship equal to that which one would have with a trusted friend. “San Gennaro, think about it!” is an invocation that is repeated in the face of personal and collective worries, natural events and disasters. “San Gennaro, you know me, if you could do me a favor”, says Massimo Troisi in one of his most famous sketches. Nino Manfredi invokes him in mOperazione San Gennaro and the entire city prays to him, seeing in him a brother to turn to in case of need. Whether you are a believer or not, three times a year the cathedral of Naples fills with the faithful to witness His umpteenth miracle. The chosen dates are the first Saturday in May, September 19, the feast day of the Saint, and December 16, the “feast of the patronage of San Gennaro” in memory of the terrible eruption of Vesuvius in 1631, which he stopped. His blood is exposed in front of thousands of citizens and faithful who with bated breath wait (and hope) for the blood to liquefy. What happens if it doesn’t liquefy? Neapolitans begin to tremble because it is a harbinger of great misfortunes and history teaches us this: in 1940 Italy took part in the Second World War; in 1943 the Nazis occupied the city, in 1980 the Irpinia earthquake... to name a few. And no, if you are wondering, in 2020 the blood did not liquefy! "San Gennaro, think about it! In this fragrance I tried to create the sensations of the color red, but also with the suggestions of a human body and the intense emotions that go from the earth to the sky. The heart of the perfume is an intense and warm rose, with hints of metallic accents in the spicy opening, fruity and gourmand elements in the development of the structure, and a very deep woody base. I wanted to create an enveloping experience full of pathos." Perfume tips: spray whenever you feel the need. Wait (and hope). Top Notes: Bergamot, Davana, Cumin, Rose Oxide; Heart Notes: Rose, cypriol, chocolate; Base Notes: Sandalwood, amber, raspberry, leather, vanilla, musk. EDP 75 ml
