Gran Ballo bottles the moment a ballgown sweeps into a candlelit palazzo. Part of Xerjoff's Casamorati line — the revival of a genuine 1888 Bolognese perfume house — it swirls gardenia, jasmine and honeysuckle through honey, caramel and vanilla, a true floral gourmand executed with couture restraint. Nothing about it is casual: this is opera-night, wedding-guest, winter-gala perfume. If sweet florals usually smell cheap to you, Gran Ballo is the counter-argument, aged in Italian velvet.

Xerjoff Gran Ballo is a romantic floral-fruity-gourmand masterpiece from the Casamorati collection, evoking 18th-century elegance. It opens with red berries, tangerine, and mandarin, creating an inviting first impression. The heart reveals gardenia, jasmine sambac, and honeysuckle, adding depth and character. The base settles into amber, caramel, and sandalwood, providing lasting warmth and sophistication. This feminine fragrance offers refined performance and is ideal for discerning fragrance connoisseurs.

Spray the heavier scent first, then the lighter one on top. Start with two scents — more than three quickly becomes muddled. Always test on skin first.
