Ritual 2 - 'TO GRACE San Gennaro, take care of it! '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, take care of it!” it is an invocation that is repeated in the face of personal and collective concerns, 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 Operation San Gennaro and the entire city prays to him, who sees in him a brother to ask in case of need. Whether you are a believer or not, three times a year the cathedral of Naples is filled with faithful to witness yet another miracle of his.

“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 and pathos-filled experience.”
