Xerjoff Casamorati Lira

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard.

It opens on blood orange, bergamot and lavender, moves through cinnamon, licorice and jasmine, and settles on vanille, caramel and musk.

• blood orange: orange with a darker, slightly berry-like sourness
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
