Italica in detail
Italica belongs to Xerjoff's Casamorati line. The house draws on almond paste, a key ingredient in so many desserts of southern Italy, for its milky sweetness, and presents it as a resolutely gourmand fragrance. Volute files it among gourmands, as the house does.
The official pyramid opens with almond, milky notes and saffron. The heart gathers toffee, a sweet made of sugar and butter, and vanilla. The base pairs white musk, cedarwood and sandalwood.
Italica suits autumn and winter, by day or by night. Its short pyramid leaves almond in the foreground; saffron adds a warm touch, and the woods in the base keep it from becoming too sweet. It is a milky, comforting gourmand.
Three gourmands in our catalogue come close: Dirty Rice by Born To Stand Out shares almond, milky notes, sandalwood and cedarwood; Triumph of Bacchus Extrait by Argos brings back saffron, sandalwood and vanilla; Enigma Pour Homme by Roja Parfums also pairs sandalwood with vanilla.
