Xerjoff Casamorati 1888 Eau de Parfum
A warm, spiced oriental floral from Xerjoff's Casamorati line, pairing carnation and saffron with rose, ylang-ylang and amber.
Xerjoff Casamorati 1888 Eau de Parfum, launched in 2013, is part of the Casamorati collection, which draws on turn-of-the-century Italian perfumery references. It's a warm, spiced floral rather than a light or fresh composition, and one of the more traditional-smelling fragrances in the wider Xerjoff catalogue.
What does Casamorati 1888 smell like?
The opening leads with carnation and pepper, joined by coriander and saffron for a spiced, slightly peppery start. The heart moves into ylang-ylang, rose and neroli, a classic floral trio that softens the initial spice. The base settles into amber, sandalwood, birch and patchouli, closing the fragrance on a warm, slightly smoky woody note from the birch.
- Top notes: Carnation, pepper, coriander, saffron
- Heart notes: Ylang-ylang, rose, neroli

Performance and when to wear it
Casamorati 1888 is typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the amber and patchouli base carrying the fragrance well into the evening. Its spiced, vintage character suits cooler weather and formal occasions better than casual daytime wear.
Who is it for?
This is a good fit for wearers who enjoy vintage-style florals with real spice and depth. Fans of carnation and classic rose compositions, or anyone curious about older-style Italian perfumery, will find plenty to like here, though it may feel dated to wearers who prefer cleaner, more modern florals.
