The story behind the bottle.
Gran Ballo by Casamorati 1888 was launched in 2013 as a contemporary ode to the brand's long-standing Italian elegance. This Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance opens with red berries and tangerine, bringing a vibrant freshness that contrasts beautifully against its heart of gardenia and jasmine. The base notes of honey, caramel, vanilla, amber, sandalwood, and powdery lactonic accords create a warm, enveloping embrace that evokes the richness of Italian confections. This composition is neither overly sweet nor overpoweringly floral; instead, it strikes a delicate balance between freshness and warmth.
Apply Gran Ballo in light layers to allow its complex notes to unfold gradually. The red berry and tangerine top notes are bright but fleeting, so let them settle into the more enduring vanilla and amber base. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, making it perfect for intimate settings or special occasions.
