Xerjoff Italica is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Italica opens with Milk, Saffron, and Almond, settles into a heart of Toffee and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Xerjoff's Italica carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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.

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.

About

Italica opens with a punch of sweet almond and creamy milk, with a distinct lactonic richness that can lean into a 'Play-Doh' or 'cherry-like' nuance for some. Caramelised toffee and warm vanilla emerge next, creating a decadently sweet heart. The dry down settles into a musky, soft sandalwood, providing an adult anchor to the otherwise unashamedly youthful, edible notes.
