Verdicts
Casamorati Lira
A fresh floral woody gourmand fragrance built around bergamot, lemon, iris, violet, sandalwood. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Alexandria II
Honey and rose open together in a thick, almost syrupy accord — warmer and more resinous than floral — before lavender pulls things briefly cooler in the heart. It settles quickly into labdanum and patchouli, which anchor the whole thing in a dark, earthy sweetness that vanilla softens without making cloying. Projection is confident but not aggressive; sillage trails rich and close-worn by the dry-down, leaving a skin-warm amber-honey base that lingers for hours — fall and winter evenings, for anyone who wants to smell expensive without smelling loud.
