Xerjoff Lira Eau de Parfum, 100 ml

Product Information

The samples have finally arrived. Unsuspectingly I spray a little on the test strips provided... First of all a big disappointment. I smell almost nothing, almost nothing... A little blood orange without deep... Smell irritated again after 5 minutes on the strips, still zero... ? Tip: Don't spray this scent on a test strip but on the skin... Lira is a truly captivating fragrance with an aroma crafted to envelop the senses. It has been blended for unparalleled sophistication and features top notes of bright bergamot, sweet blood orange, calming lavender, and subtle licorice.

Haute perfumer Xerjoff has been teasing and tantalising our noses since 2003. Founder Sergio Momo's passion for scents blossomed as a teenager, developed not only by his father's cologne collection but by everyday aromas – such as a local bakery or passing motorbike – in his hometown of Turin. These humble inspirations continue to inform the luxury Italian brand today. Imaginaţi-vă cel mai dulce caramel scurs peste cea mai decadenta ciocolată în straturi, o budincă din care geme o vanilie din categoria grea, un motz de cremă cu unt şi scorţişoară aşezată peste crusta unei amandine crăpând sub greutatea linguriţei, prrrr, toate stinse cu un santal de portocale roşii de sicilia. Cu bucurie am aflat că mai există o soluţie (pe lângă bulimie) Cum folosesc încă roţile ajutătoare de începător în zona parfumeriei gurmande, am pornit cu prejudecăţi - crezând că majoritatea intra în categoria care încă nu îmi surâde - aceea a parfumurilor "prăjiturică" gen Angel, LVEB,& ceata. Lira este în altă categorie, mie nu îmi miroase a parfum ci a DULCE, toată bucuria unei orgii culinare într-un puf (sau două sau trei sau zece) cu zero vinovăţie. Senzaţie similară de dulce real, nu de "dulcegărie" am mai găsit şi în Messy Sexy Just Rolled ouţ of Bed A Lab on Fire (sarumana pt eşantion, Lexxa!)

My Account

The brand recreates the history of the glorious house of fragrances founded by Claudio Casamorati in Italy in the 19th century, with the intention of safeguarding the historical and artistic heritage of the glamorous Art Nouveau era.

Sweet licorice complements the rich spices present in this concoction while creamy ylang‑ylang undertones and jasmine notes bring out a delightful aroma that keeps the scent from being too cloying. Well, of course the fragrance is usable especially in winter (or autumn), it can be used as a low-dose everyday fragrance or as a deliciously biteable scent (I told you, that's my saying, my old lyre!).The bottle: The bottle is as high quality as ever. It is thin and high and widens in height. It ends at the upper part in an arch and thus looks like an antique column, except that the flacon appears somewhat wider than these columns. On the front you can see a label with a portrait of a woman (the Starlet??). The gilded lid has a beautiful shape and reminds somehow of royal headgear of ancient Lower Egypt. A beautiful bottle, even if the brown colour of the bottle might not please everyone.

Lira lasts about 6-8 hours on my skin and is definitely very noticeable by the environment for 4-5 hours.

CASAMORATI IS A COLLECTION OF VINTAGE FRAGRANCES BY XERJOFF, INSPIRED BY THE ANCIENT ART OF ITALIAN PERFUMERY. Whereby in the base also a little musk is added, and the fragrance not 100% only smells of vanilla, and I think that's good, so at least a small, but fine change is added. Further exploration reveals nuances of jasmine along with spicy cinnamon, and hints of warm vanilla and caramel ‑ all rounded off nicely by musk tones that linger on the skin long after application. Lira provides a unique experience with its blend of invigorating citruses, balanced by decadent caramel. After the fruity-sweet initial phase, caramel and vanilla begin to assert themselves more and more as the main protagonists of the fragrance. This however - and this is what I particularly like about Lira - without being penetrating or completely exuberant. The gourmand fragrance itself is an absolute dream for all sweet toothers and should not leave the surroundings cold. In any case, the quality of the ingredients used is immediately noticeable.
