The Heart of Naples La Via del Profumo

"Meat was served almost completely raw. Ingredients were missing from the pizzas. There were pieces of plastic in one dish. Asparagus wasn't prepared properly, salads were served twice. The mistakes were not corrected by the kitchen. But the young woman who served us was nice."

It's a good thing that the smell has nothing to do with the restaurant, which is the first Google hit for Cuore di Napoli. Anyway: I really liked the perfume in the first test, which is why I wanted to type down a review. Unfortunately, I realized that overdosing leads to a change in the fragrance or rather the effect of the individual ingredients. The slightly woody-smoky note is swallowed up too much by the citrus. Furthermore, a powdery-dry facet appears, which I would like to attribute to the almond cookie. Presumably cantuccini are meant and then this "ingredient" would be a good match.

So much for the general conditions. At the time, Cuore di Napoli was pleasantly woody and airy when applied discreetly to the skin. I found the citrus to be pleasant and balanced. Those who now apply more to counteract the miserable longevity are firstly deceived. Secondly, the perfume develops in the same way as above and the individual elements only harmonize to a limited extent.

There is no further progression. In principle, I find this charming; I don't always need creations that take several twists and turns, including a plot twist, and I'm a simpler person, especially in summer temperatures. The latter is the case here and I can no longer give an unreserved recommendation based on the above statements. But it's still nice.
