Casamorati 1888
Lira
“Caramel and blood orange in a velvet box — smooth Italian gourmand that cuts out early.”
Chris Maurice's 2011 launch for Casamorati 1888 (Xerjoff's heritage line) — often cited as a niche gateway to the gourmand-vanilla genre and widely cloned in the budget segment. A vanilla-caramel feminine with blood orange, bergamot, and lavender at the top, a cinnamon-jasmine-rose heart, and a vanille-caramel-musk base. Performs strongest in fall and winter, daytime, 6-7 hours with moderate projection.
