The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Xerjoff, Italica is a unisex Oriental Woody fragrance that embodies the essence of Italian elegance and warmth. The composition opens with almond and milk, creating an initial impression of sweetness and comfort. As it unfolds, saffron and toffee add a luxurious depth, while vanilla and nutty notes contribute a rich, warm character. Sandalwood, cedar, and musk form a powdery, woody base that ensures the scent remains close to skin, offering a sense of intimate luxury.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the milk and almond opening is fleeting but impactful. The warm base notes take over after about half an hour, so it's best to let this fragrance settle before heading out for a dinner or meeting.
