Italica 2021

Italica, a Creamy Almond Gourmand

Xerjoff Italica is a creamy almond gourmand. Our version keeps that feel, opening with almond, milk, and saffron before a toffee and vanilla heart settles over sandalwood, cedar, and musk.

The Story Behind the Scent

Xerjoff built Italica around a soft, milky almond, all creamy and sweet with a spicy saffron lift over smooth woods. The idea was a rich, comforting indulgence.

That creamy sweetness is its appeal. The almond and milk give it a soft, creamy body, the toffee and vanilla make it gourmand, and the sandalwood and cedar keep it smooth. Our interpretation follows that same comforting path.
