Giulietta

This smells professional,yet kind. Personally, I dislike the opening of this.It smells almost sour and acidic for maybe 5-10 minutes. However, I adore it after. It smells like a soapy apple face powder with a very mild warmth that comes from the amber. This leaves this feeling like a fresh floral with a very slight floriental drydown. I think this makes this scent ideal in spring and autumn.This is because it's too light for extreme cold, whilst also smelling very slightly too warm for the dead of summer. That said, I don't think the scent is awful outside of autumn and spring, it just needs days that are crisp and slightly cool almost like the granny smith apples that dominate the scent. Longevity for this is complicated. If you are measuring it purely on how long the apple scent lasts, it may only stay how you like it for 1-2 hours. However, if you also enjoy the floral,woody powder of the scent, I think it's good for about 4-5 hours. This scent has very mild sillage. The most anyone is think of you when you wear this is that you've recently showered. In a way it's like cacherel's Noa, the sillage is the absence of a bad smell rather than the sillage of a good one. It leads a good impression, but not a lasting one. I think this is one of the best scents around for smart casual situations and the office. It smells like natural looking make-up looks. It's soft-spoken, yet confident. Finally, as a man wearing this scent, I think it's more unisex than it first appears. It smells well groomed and smooth. Nothing about that is particularly gendered beyond perhaps men perfume's propensity for aromatic freshness. I also think this scent may work somewhat well for some sporty situations. Quite refreshing after light exercise. Perhaps a little pricey to be used for that, but it's undoubtedly good for it probably. For the strangest reason, I can picture a bicycle ride through a small town to run errands when I smell this perfume. It's not much like D&G Light Blue (no citrus) , but I can see someone who enjoys Light Blue trying this to branch out. It carries the same soapy scent, but is more powdery and less woody. I would say I love this when conditions suit it. I wear Anais Anais as a signiture currently, and I think Giuletta will work well as a scent to alternate into.

This was my signature fragrance in high school. Smelled beautiful and soft. Giulietta is pure romance in a bottle. It is exactly what you would expect a Tocca fragrance to smell like lol. It reminds me of getting dressed in the morning. Light is streaming through the windows, and the walls and linens are a soft white color. Yellow tulips are sitting in a porcelain vase on the windowsill. It is sweet, but only slightly. No where near a cloying LVEB sweet. The sweetness seems to come from the ylang-ylang and green apple. It is a very soft, natural sweetness: one you might find in a fruit if that makes sense. It's about as sweet as a banana. It is very juicy-smelling from the green apple. It has also a very soft and pretty creaminess from it. Didn't find this soapy at all, but I could get why people could think that way. It's more like a tasty fruit. The silage is very soft though, and the longevity is pretty weak. Giulietta probably lasts about 1-3 hours. I know people think that this fragrance is inoffensive, boring and generic. I agree. But it's not necessarily a bad thing. Giulietta is something you would wear if you want to smell nice, no one dislikes it. It's great for an everyday or signature fragrance. It is very safe and romantic. Men love this. This would be perfect for sweet, feminine young women with big imaginations. It's generic and popular in the way that everyone loves sunsets or every young girl wants romance, if that makes sense. One tip to whoever is interested in this fragrance: test it out in-store before you buy! I have found that if you don't have the right chemistry, it can somehow smell sour and tangy on your skin. Some of my friends have borrowed this, and it smelled slightly foul. Others smelled absolutely dreamy. It should smell fine the majority of the time, but I would suggest making sure to prevent any regrets. If you have the right personality and chemistry for this fragrance, it would smell heavenly on you.

I sprayed this in Sephora today and was honestly blown away. As far as everyone saying it smells like Japanese Cherry Blossom, I don't get that at ALL. this is much fresher, not powdery at all. This, and Florence, were the best smelling offerings in my opinion. They just smell so luxe and classy. They're definitely sophisticated scents. This one is super clean and fresh, and while freshies definitely aren't my thing, I love this one. Perfect for spring. To clarify, the problem I have with most "fresh scents" is that they are overly citrus-y or have a "kitchen cleaner" kind of smell to them. This is fresh without having any of that citrus influence. I'm actually kind of surprised that people are saying it smells like JCB, because if we were going to compare it to a B&BW scent in my opinion, beautiful day would probably be the closest thing to this. However, beautiful day has a very artificial apple scent, while this one is a lot more authentic and natural smelling. I love apples scents, I was obsessed with DKNY be delicious in high school, eau so sexy from Victoria's Secret is still one of my favorites. Yet even those have somewhat of a juvenile undertone to them, while this smells very sophisticated and grown-up. For anyone who is put off by the comparison to JCB in the reviews, I implore you please smell this for yourself. Because I promise you, it smells absolutely nothing like it. My grandmother wears JCB religiously, and I cannot stand the smell of it. This is not that, I promise you!

Pleasant, clean, soapy. Light. A nice white t-shirt smell, in a grownup way. I do not get any of those notes, and don't find it floral at all, but I am enjoying wearing this when I want a change from my usual soft florals. Excellent for spring and I think it will be great in summer, but it works for chilly wintery days too. It's got a winter/spring vibe to me. I get the "febreeze" thing but it doesn't smell like that once it's on my skin. It's soap soap soap. But nice soap :) I thought I didn't like this perfume, and I de-stashed my other Tocca perfumes (LOVE the beautiful packaging, but they all started smelling too artificial/harsh to me) and I don't miss them. But I found myself unwilling to let this one go, and I'm glad I hung onto it. It has an old-world, elegant smell, but I do not find it "elderly". It's not juvenile but it's still youthful... to me, this is a beautiful woman from the previous century, in her early-mid 30s, taking a bath with expensive soap and drifting around an Italian castle in a crisp linen dress. The initial spray is a bit sharp and alcoholic but it dries to a nice fresh ladylike scent. I had to wear it a while before I saw that, but I'm glad I did. I see where the negative reviewers are coming from, but encourage anyone on the fence to try a sample (and don't judge by the initial spray!)

Giulietta by Tocca is a powdery, warm, and elegant scent. It smells like warmth and sunshine. I feel like this fragrance is wonderful for summer. It is vibrant and charming. Youthful, but not modern. It has an ancient charm and romance to it; a beautiful innocence and purity. It is the fragrance of a classic love story. Giulietta feels very european and medival to me. I imagine this on a young maiden in a white dress. Cool cobblestones, climbing roses, lantern light, secret vows of love. It is a fragrance for a princess. It smells like fresh citrus and cascading waves of golden hair adorned with small white flowers. Timeless, effortless beauty. Giulietta is grace and radience. A rose garden on a warm summer day, soft sunlight dancing between the leaves, statues casting shadows on the grass. This perfume is pink roses and lemons, delicate and pure lily of the vally. It is powdery, enchanting, and mysterious. There is also a very subtle woodiness and warmth to it, like a gently burning fire; the soft masculine scent a man leaves on you after a passionate embrace. Giulietta feels like fragrant summer air, citrusy and floral; the warm light that shines through a stained glass window, a secret kiss, a promise of love and devotion, warm inviting eyes. A true timeless beauty.
