Macedonia in winter
Macedonia means nothing else than fruit salad. But if you think of canned food with diced fruit pieces in syrup, you could not be more wrong. Macedonia is freshly prepared here in Italy with fruits that are available at the respective season. Therefore it goes without saying that such an Italian fruit salad is more colourful and varied in spring and summer than in the cold season. Apples, oranges, mandarins and grapefruit, but also bananas, pears, pomegranate seeds, the list of ingredients is not restricted. Fresh from the fridge, this is a light and refreshing finish to an Italian Pranzo or Cena. When the Macedonia rind is put on the table, it gives off a slightly fruity and sour aroma of fresh, chilled fruit Napoli is like Macedonia. The top note opens with a full fruit aroma of citrus and apple, which stands proudly despite the strong presence of orange and grapefruit. This combination alone is captivating. It should be remembered that Napoli was launched before the turn of the millennium, when pineapple, apple and other fruits did not yet play a major role in a fragrance pyramid. This top note, however, is neither sour nor sparkling. It seems to me that the ingredients have been rolled in only slightly sweet vanilla powder - almost like sour drops in icing sugar. Thus the fruits lose their acidity. They appear fruity - mild, but without sweetness. I would almost like to say that the fragrance becomes slightly creamy, but not powdery. So I find Napoli a fragrance that can be worn all year round. Although it is already more towards the sunny side, it also fits into the cold season due to the lack of citric sharpness.
In the further course of the piece a flowery note creeps in, almost ashamed and therefore does not evoke any associations with a bouquet of flowers. I would say that Napoli gets an elegant touch, which also goes well with Kiton's dark blue suit Even though some wood creeps into the base, the fruity character of the fragrance remains from the beginning to the end.
Kiton is not Guerlain and does not manage to tell stories with Napoli, as some Guerlain fumes can. Naples doesn't need that either.

If you consider that this fragrance was launched over 20 years ago, when freshness in the top note was synonymous with an acidic-citric freshness kick, it was already very innovative then. Also he stood at that time with his dimmed freshness rather alone. The bottle in its beautiful blue conveys the character of aquatic, but I can't make it out in the entire fragrance. Contrary to the opinion of some pre-commentators, for me Napoli is fruity-fresh and full of elegance from the beginning to the end.
When I apply two sprayers Napoli on my neck, I am occasionally caressed by a fruity veil, which is easily perceptible on me for 7/8 hours.
So now guess 'what scent I'm going to put on tonight and what's for dessert.

I wish you all happy holidays and a happy new year 2020.
