Which Should You Buy?
Italica is a true love-it-or-hate-it gourmand - a divisive, heavy-hitting dessert with an almond and milk core. Some will be instantly smitten, others will be scrubbing their skin red. If you dare to try, prepare for intense sweetness and don't overspray.
Italian Caramel is a comfort-gourmand riff on Xerjoff Italica, leaning into the same toasted almond, milk-foam and vanilla-caramel dessert accord. It's sweeter and more one-note than Italica's polished, cafe-latte balance, and thins out faster in the drydown.
