Xerjoff Casamorati 1888 EDP

Description

Casamorati is Xerjoff's tribute to a real 19th-century Bologna perfume house, La Fabbrica di Profumi C. Casamorati, founded in 1888. Where mainline Xerjoff leans toward modern, maximalist opulence, Casamorati is built around old-world Italian apothecary romance, Art Nouveau elegance rather than showy richness. 1888, created by perfumer Karine Vinchon-Spehner and launched in 2013, opens with carnation, green pepper, coriander, and Persian saffron, softens into a heart of ylang-ylang, neroli, and rose, and settles into amber, Mysore sandalwood, patchouli, and birch. It's spiced, floral, and unmistakably vintage in character, classic rather than loud.

Scent Character

• Floral: 33%
• Spicy: 33%
• Woody: 22%

Translation: peppery saffron and carnation spice meet soft ylang-ylang and neroli florals over warm sandalwood-patchouli woods, an amber-floral built for vintage-elegance appeal, not modern boldness.

FAQ

Is Casamorati the same as Xerjoff?
Casamorati is a sub-line of Xerjoff reviving a real 1888 Bologna perfume house, same maker, a more vintage, old-world aesthetic.

Is 1888 unisex?
Yes, it's designed to be worn by anyone.

How does it compare to mainline Xerjoff scents like Naxos or Erba Pura?
It's quieter and more classic: spiced florals and amber rather than Xerjoff's usual dense, maximalist sweetness.

Does it contain real oud?
No. Its depth comes from sandalwood and patchouli, not agarwood.
