The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021, Italica by Xerjoff is a fragrance that embodies the essence of Italian luxury. The composition opens with almond and milk, creating a warm, comforting aroma reminiscent of childhood memories. This sweet, nutty accord gives way to saffron and toffee, adding a touch of sophistication and depth. The base notes of bourbon vanilla, sandalwood, and white musk bring a rich, enveloping warmth that lingers throughout the day. It's a scent that feels both familiar and luxurious, perfectly capturing the brand’s commitment to using the finest ingredients in exquisite packaging.
Apply one to two sprays on pulse points. The rich base notes will slowly unfold over time, so it's best suited for daytime wear when you can appreciate its gradual evolution. Avoid heavy application in humid weather as the warm accords may become too intense.
