Calamity J Eau de Parfum vs Xerjoff Casamorati Bouquet Ideale Perfume Oil
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Calamity J is a polarising beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Some find it a sophisticated, soft amber-patchouli dream, others a 'calamity' of burned wood and 'wet sauvage animal hair'. It's been discontinued, which only adds to its mystique and desirability for its fans.
A luxurious fragrance that masterfully combines warmth and elegance, perfect for fall evenings or intimate gatherings.
