Perfect blend creamy toffee cookie open, but when smelled up-close, the musk & wood-driven base are lackluster. Feminine, fall-winter.

Scent

Almond toffee cookies with a faint artificial, medicinal cherry undertone. Dense and dry. Dries down to a creamy, milky vanilla-caramel.

I can't get over how awful the opening is. It's like a strong leathery bitterness with expired fruit in the background.

Underwhelming performance. For this price stick with other almond scents, there are tons that carry same almond touch and are 3x cheaper

After a sweet and nutty fruity-spicy opening, this creamy/sweet and musky Gourmand, settles to a warm and smooth musky-woody base. Unisex.

Sweet scent, smells like cookies and milk in a good way. Unisex, but it leans little more on girls’s side. Good gourmand if you ask me.

Very helpful Review 3

Eww. Unpleasant at best, nausea inducing at worst.

I can appreciate this fragrance, but on my skin it is very very laconic thanks to the milk... and I don't like it. It smells like something curdling. The milk lasts for a very long time for a top note, but it doesn't travel far from the skin... which I am thankful for. Instead, I smell a buttery caramel reminiscent of a werthers original. I do not get any almond but I do get saffron. The almond becomes more apparent the closer my face gets to my arm. I do not understand the mass appeal of this fragrance but do admire the creaminess of the milk note... they can easily become very sharp on the skin. There are much better gourmands from Xerjoff, namely Lira, Dolce Amalfi, Dama Bianca, and Golden Moka from the Coffee Break collection. I will not be buying this, upset that I still have 9.5ml of a decant to get through.

Also for the price of a full bottle, or even the 30ml, the silage is poor after 1-1.5hrs of wear. I would expect more for a fragrance of this price.

Italica from Xerjoff - a delicious milky almond gourmand

This review is based on a full bottle of Italica that I bought a few months ago. I had tested a sample of Italica that I bought initially from Xerjoff before making a commitment.

In my personal experience, perfumes from Xerjoff follow the notes and olfactory pyramid disclosed on their website fairly closely. Italica is no exception.

Italica opens as a milky almond dessert with a tiny whiff of saffron. The creamy milkiness transforms quickly into the heart notes - primarily toffee and vanilla - that appear soon after. The almond in the opening persists through the heart notes. This creates the core personality - a milky almond toffee dessert - of Italica. The woody base notes that appear many hours later don’t create much of a bang as their intensity is low. The overall development of Italica is very gradual, if any at all. It starts with an almond toffee explosion and ends in a mild woody musk. Fortunately, what we have is amazing enough.

Italica provides very good performance, like any other Xerjoff perfume. It lasts on my skin for 6-8 hours and almost twelve hours on my clothes. The sillage is good but it does not project across the room. Italica comes in a deep carmine bottle with exquisite packaging that we expect from Xerjoff. A smaller 30 ml is preferable as Italica is not a versatile all-purpose perfume. I wanted it primarily for the novelty of a toffee-almond-milky dessert scent. Italica delivers everything that it promises.

Sweet Almond Vanilla Heaven!

Oh. My. Gosh. Italica is the sweet almond perfume I never knew I needed!! Sweet milky almond vanilla goodness! I first got a sample and it sat and sat until I finally decided to try it and I immediately fell in love and got a 30ml because this juice is sweeeeet! Two sprays is plenty and will last on me all night and into the next morning if I wear it to bed. But now that I have it I have realized that I really love Italica and use it quite often so I am going to have to get a 100ml when I get low on this one (and Lira!).

I so wanted this relationship to work-out

So excited, thinking everything made by my one and only Xerjoff must be a 200% masterpiece. Safe buy, I thought even it was going to be a blind buy. Here you are. I tried my best. I swear. I wanted to fall in love, or at the very least, just to like it. Nope, not with this one. Didn't like it on my wrist, nor on my hair, nor on my clothes, but I wanted to keep it—for the sake of the gorgeous bottle and outstanding, eco-friendly box... I pushed myself so hard to tame it... Then one day I reentered a room, where I had spent an hour giving a private lesson, when a strong energy drink smell assaulted my brain and my nose... My student, a teenager, denied having such a drink. She thought that I had one...
It was embarrassing realisation that I smelt like a youngster who brings herself to a point of addictively consuming energy drinks. Sorry guys, apologies to all Italika`s lovers and fans.. No-go for me. PASS. Is it my "special" skin? Or is it my idiosyncratic nose that informs my brain of a sickening smell? Xerjoff, it's not you. You did nothing wrong. It's me!

So happy with my first Xerjoff scent

This is my first buy from Xerjoff, after many videos of trusted experts telling me this is one of the best gourmand scents you can buy nowadays, I decided to blind buy it.
The presentation is great, the box is very pretty and luxurious.
I was not disappointed when I sprayed it for the first time. The scent is very round, very well made. I sprayed 6 times..It made me so happy.
I have a collection of more or less over a hundred scents, and for the first time in years
my partner FINALLY actually said " whaw! you smell so goooood" without me even asking... a triumph.
Later, 3 hrs later I went to play badminton and got complements from two persons.
The reviews for this perfume are so strange, people are strange... some complain the scent is too strong..since when a great performance is a problem? if is too much, just spray less.
Other people write is too sweet, I do not agree, this is far from a syrup sweet girly scent. There are many sweet ingredients, but the level of sweetness is perfect, also is perfect for a man, is so special and niche quality.
The opening accord Cherry-Milk-Almond is so amazing, in a moment I imagined I smelled Coriander, but after I realized it was the Cherry and the type of Vanilla working together.
I understand you may not like a scent, but to give such a high quality scent a 0.5 rating is just ridiculous. This scent deserves a better rating, for me is a 8.5 but I will give a 10 to contra rest the 0.5 rating someone grumpy gave.
Anyway I am very happy with my new scent and can wait to buy from Xerjoff again because the quality of this scent is just top.
