Casamorati 1888

Bouquet Ideale

2010

Cinnamon and vanilla wrapped in cedar — Casamorati's underrated quiet one, named for flowers it doesn't have.

The take

What works

  • Cinnamon-tobacco-vanilla blend that's quietly luxurious
  • Slow-burn fragrance — develops fully only on warm skin
  • Underrated relative to its Casamorati siblings

Trade-offs

  • Misleading name — there's nothing floral about it
  • Performance is intimate; sillage stays close
