1888 Casamorati 1888

Xerjoff Casamorati 1888 dupe, inspired by the original

Casamorati 1888 is the signature scent of Xerjoff’s Casamorati line, named for the year the historic Italian perfume house was founded. Released in 2013, it is a woody amber built around a spicy floral heart, and it reads as classic and dressed up. Our interpretation captures that feel in a long lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Xerjoff built Casamorati as a tribute to old Italian perfumery, and 1888 is its centrepiece. Saffron and carnation give a spicy, softly leathery opening, rose and ylang ylang bloom into an opulent floral heart, and sandalwood, amber and patchouli settle into a smooth, warm base. It feels like something you would wear to be quietly well dressed.

How Our Version Compares

We do not claim this is identical. What we have built follows the same spicy floral and woody amber signature, from the saffron and carnation opening to the sandalwood and patchouli base. Ours is blended at up to 40% perfume oil, so it projects clearly early on and lingers for hours. It suits cooler weather and evenings, where its warmth has room to open.

Who It’s For

This one is for anyone who loves a classic woody oriental with a floral heart. It works for evenings, colder months and occasions where you want to feel put together. Unisex, and especially loved by those drawn to rich, refined fragrances.

Notes

Heart: Rose, Ylang-Ylang, Neroli

Base: Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli

How it Smells

The opening is warm and spicy, with saffron and carnation carrying a soft, almost leathery edge over a lift of coriander. It announces itself as something rich from the first moment.

In the heart, rose and creamy ylang ylang bring an opulent floral warmth, rounded by a touch of neroli. The base is smooth and long lasting, with sandalwood, amber and patchouli giving that classic, dressed up depth that stays close to the skin.

Common Questions

Is this the original Xerjoff fragrance?

No. It is our own interpretation of the Casamorati 1888 accord, rebuilt at up to 40% perfume oil. It is not the branded fragrance.

Is it a strong fragrance?

It is rich and full, but the high oil content means a small amount is plenty. It settles close to the skin as it develops.

When should I wear it?

Autumn, winter and evenings suit it best, though it works whenever you want something warm and refined.

Is it unisex?

Yes. The spicy floral and woody amber character wears well on anyone.

How long does it last?

With up to 40% perfume oil, most wearers get a full day on skin and noticeably longer on fabric.
