Within Xerjoff, different collections have their own visual and olfactory identities. Casamorati is presented as a collection inspired by the traditions of Italian perfumery. Distinctive bottles are part of the story, but the composition is the best place to start.
Renaissance: brightness and Italian art
Renaissance belongs to the 1861 collection. The official description connects its name with the Renaissance and pays tribute to Italian artists. The fragrance idea is bright: citrus at the top; mint, lily of the valley and Bulgarian rose in the heart; followed by musk, cedar, amber and patchouli.
Lira: sweetness with contrast
Lira takes another direction. Blood orange, bergamot and lavender flower introduce a heart of cinnamon, jasmine and rose. Caramel, musk and vanilla form the gourmand base. Rather than simply calling it a vanilla perfume, explore the interplay between citrus freshness, spices and sweetness.
Bouquet Ideale: beyond the expectation of flowers
The name might suggest a floral bouquet, but Bouquet Ideale's official pyramid opens with cinnamon and nutmeg. Cedar and guaiac wood appear in the heart; coumarin, musk, tobacco flower and vanilla form the base. The result is a different, woody-spicy direction.
How to compare them
Set yourself one task: decide whether today calls for citrus brightness, caramel softness or the warmth of spices and woods. Then read the full pyramid of the fragrance you choose. Our approach starts with the contrast that attracts you, not the colour of the bottle.
