Casomorati Equals Xerjoff—Here’s Why
It always surprises me when people talk about Casamorati as if it's a separate perfume world. What if I told you it’s actually one of Xerjoff’s own lines? Yes, that same beloved Xerjoff—just through a more nostalgic, romantic lens. Casomorati pays tribute to the charm of vintage Italian perfumery, but the signature richness and craftsmanship? Still unmistakably Xerjoff. I tested three perfumes to see if they carry that same signature complexity. Spoiler: they do. Each fragrance unfolds like a layered story, echoing Xerjoff’s DNA while telling a slightly sweeter, more poetic tale on my skin.
Citrus and Caramel Whispers at Sunset: Lira Casomorati
On my skin, Lira opens like a sensual Italian dessert: bright citrus with a soft, spicy warmth that’s never overpowering. The blood orange and bergamot lend a delicious brightness, while cinnamon and jasmine give the heart a whisper of mystery. As it settles, the vanilla and caramel create this creamy, comforting aura—like walking into a patisserie at golden hour. It lasts beautifully, around eight hours, and feels equally perfect for romantic evenings or cozy mornings. Though officially unisex, I find it gorgeously intimate. It’s sweet, yes, but refined—never loud. A quiet luxury, like silk on warm skin.
Dama Bianca feels like a powdery fairytale. On my skin, the citrusy kumquat and lime add a soft shimmer before fading into a heart of white florals—violet, iris, lily of the valley. The effect is elegant and hazy, like a vintage film reel. Then comes the vanilla, malt, and musk that wrap everything in a whisper of nostalgia. It wears gently but stays with me for hours, lingering like the scent of bridal lace or a silk scarf stored in a cedar drawer. To me, this leans feminine in the most graceful way. A perfume for quiet elegance and soft touches.
Italica is pure indulgence—like slipping into a velvet robe after dessert. The almond-milk opening is warm and creamy, with a twist of saffron that adds depth. On my skin, the vanilla and toffee heart unfold slowly, never becoming too sugary thanks to the grounded base of musk and cedar. It wears like a luxury treat: cozy, rich, and comforting. I love it most on cold days—it radiates warmth and charm. Projection is strong at first, then softens into a delicious second skin. Italica feels perfectly unisex, but deeply personal, like a fragrance made for fireside evenings and candlelit desserts.
What connects Casomorati and Xerjoff is more than just branding—it’s a shared philosophy. Both lean on Italy’s artistic roots while embracing modern complexity. The materials are always top-tier, sourced with care and precision. And whether it's Lira's citrus-spice, Dama Bianca’s floral haze, or Italica's dessert warmth, the fragrances evolve in elegant, deliberate layers. That’s the mark of Xerjoff: nothing flat, nothing rushed. Just pure, wearable storytelling. Casomorati may wear softer, dreamier clothes, but its heart still beats with Xerjoff’s precision and luxury. These scents feel personal to me, like secret moments I carry on my skin throughout the day. I’ve always held a secret reverence for Casamorati and Xerjoff—not as two separate identities, but as facets of the same fragrant soul.Xerjoff has revitalized Casamorati, aiming to preserve the artistry of 19th-century Italian perfumery, particularly the elegance of Art Nouveau.
