E. Marinella - Chiaja
webmaster
Italian perfumery is quite interesting phenomenon. The inventor of cologne Jean-Marie Farina was the Italian, and according to some sources, the science of drawing up of aromas (at the same time with ballet, corsets, shoes on a heel, and custom to eat with a plug) has got from Italy to France in the 16th century, together with Katherine Medici, who has brought the court perfumer, Florentine Rene Bianco with her.
Edouardo Marinella - is the inexpensive brand, which is quite popular in the Roman shops, specializing on selective perfumery. Usually, on a show-window the set, consisting from all other six aromas is represented. You will not find name Chiaja in the dictionary - it is a word from the Neapolitan dialect, meaning “beach”. So one of quarters in a coastal part of Naples, around of the river running into a gulf, is named.
Aroma starts with white freshness - characteristic for the Italian perfumery citron notes (a bergamot and neroli oil), which are discolored and painted in color of powder by iris and almond powder.
Most strongly chords - almonds and musk set the fashion to all composition (the iris only adds a slightly a moisture, apparently, that it is entered into aroma only as a tribute of the Italian tradition). This sweet three demands though a few freshness, demands a sea breeze or frosty air.
