Questo profumo è un must degli anni 80, mi ricorda quand'ero bambina lo usavo per profumare le mie barbie! La pubblicità del gatto con l'ombrellino è semplicemente dolce e ingenua com'erano quegli anni! Mia nonna aveva sempre una boccetta di Gocce di Napoleon sul suo comò in montagna! E' un profumo a buon mercato, non sofisticato ma che ha la capacità di far sognare chi è legato a certi ricordi!
GOCCE DI NAPOLEON does not, as its name might suggest, smell like pure, uncut testosterone but is instead a unique floriental perfume with initially dominant notes of hyacinth and rhubarb—or reasonable facsimiles! There is definitely a strong hyacinth scent and a rhubarbish green yet ever so tangy and crunchy quality in the opening of this composition—whatever may really account for these scents, I like them a lot. GdiN becomes more oriental and dark in the drydown, with diminished florality and the emergence of what appears to be pepper and possibly a touch of leather along with some sort of dark wood.
What I do not find here at all is anything at all very sweet: and no vanilla, in particular. Although the opening seems somewhat feminine to me, the drydown becomes far more masculine, as though Napoleon arrived home after one of his military adventures to usurp Josephine of her domestic authority. The servants suddenly turn all of their attention to the little emperor, ignoring the fair lady of the house. I like both the Josephine and the Napoleon phases of GOCCI DI NAPOLEON and would happily wear this perfume, if I had a bottle.
It was my perfume, when a was a teen-ager ....
it remembers me the birthday parties with my classmates :-)
Nice memories...but now I don't like at all this fragrance!
Does anyone know where i can get this perfume gocce it's in a blue box and generally sold in Italy. I live in Canada and want to purchase it. I located it on this website but it does not give me the option to purchase it. Someone help!!
Thanks,
Sandra
Extremely sharp and peppery opening - sneeze-inducing ( this hardly ever happens to me). Green and mossy tones in the heart, dries down to a classic male fougere-note.
Probably better on a man than on a woman, this highly original peppery start of the fragrance brought tears to my eyes - not because of its beauty, but because of the fact that it made me sneeze... - and - always makes me sneeze (on re-appliction... I gave it several tries on several days). "Tears of Napoleaon" taken literally - what else could you want?
1 out of 10 points on my personal scale
I found a sample of Gocce di Napoleon, and I couldn't agree more with sofiapap and Action. It is really green, and there is quite a lot of lavender, but fortunately it is softened by citrus notes and flowers since lavender doesn't like me. I can smell a hint of basil, too. It is really herbal and green, but that doesn't mean it is sharp. It's long lasting and has got a wonderful base.
I finally have this perfume now!! It is actually a very green perfume, green chypre!!
