Casamorati - Lira XerJoff 2011 Eau de Parfum

Lira is a fragrance about which an incredible amount has already been written.
That's why I don't want to write anything about the lemon cake vibe of this little work of art.
Nor about the fantastic longevity or the outstanding radiance of this fragrance.
Instead, what fascinates me most is the juiciness of the blood orange, which comes across as incredibly authentic and unsynthesized. Like fresh orange oil for stoves at Christmas time. I am also extremely impressed by the balance of jasmine, cinnamon and licorice. All of it can be sensed, all of it gives an almost relaxed ylang ylang vibe. But above all, it keeps the perfume from slipping into cardboard sweetness.
Gourmand, yes. Edible, definitely. But not over-sugared, not over the top and therefore still more of a perfume than an afternoon coffee accompaniment.
All in all - a really great composition.
