Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Italica EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Italian Caramel EDP
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Italica

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

This is a beast of a gourmand; its immense sweetness and strong projection make it unsuitable for professional settings. It shines on dates or in very cold, casual environments, where a rich, inviting scent can be appreciated. It's far too heavy for sports.
