Italica
Italica by Xerjoff is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with almond, milk and saffron, moves into toffee and vanilla and dries down to white musk, cedarwood and sandalwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
- Milk Soft, lactonic and creamy. Makes everything around it rounder.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Toffee Buttery burnt sugar. Denser and chewier than caramel.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Dry-down
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
