Italica 2021

Italica 2021, inspired by Xerjoff Casamorati Italica

Italica opens on almond and a milky accord, with saffron adding a faintly leathery spice. The heart moves into toffee and bourbon vanilla, sweet and buttery. White musk and sandalwood soften the base, with cedar adding a little dryness. Throughout, it reads as dessert-like and plush.

About the original

Italica is part of the Casamorati 1888 line sold by Xerjoff. A retailer states that it was first created as an exclusive for Harvey Nichols in London. Its launch year has not been confirmed, and it is sold as an eau de parfum.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Xerjoff stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Milky almond and toffee make it a firmly sweet gourmand. It suits wearers who want comfort and sweetness above freshness. If almond or milky notes tend to feel cloying on you, test it before committing.

Is Italica very sweet?

Yes. Toffee and bourbon vanilla sit at its heart, over a milky almond opening, so it is firmly a gourmand.
