... or maybe not.
It would have been exactly what I expected with the name and the lemon yellow bottle including the blue emblem. Lemons and blue sea. Was conclusive for me until then....
But this is not the first Casamorati where the fragrance takes a different turn than I expected.
So this time I can only agree with the previous speakers when they say: it was very unexpected in this form!

"Casamorati - Dolce Amalfi (Eau de Parfum) | XerJoff" is not exactly that: a pure, fresh, slightly aquatic citrus fragrance for really warm days.
What it is: quince-fruity-spicy, sweet, incensey, but very pleasant at the same time. It doesn't have that pungent, penetrating church incense that makes me shy away from "smoky" fragrances when I'm browsing. It has something slightly balsamic and vanilla-soft at the same time. At the same time, however, it is very different from the other well-known and lesser-known fragrances, as SunShine describes below. It's not one of those run-of-the-mill, small floral packages and doesn't throw several fruits into the mix. I smell all the notes that are listed (some more, some less), but super nice and round in the interplay. Quince in this form in a fragrance is also ingenious, as pineapple, peach and co. tend to grab the attention. In short: it's wonderful. It suits every wearer, every situation and every mood. I find the longevity and sillage pleasant and it lingers around me for a wonderful 6-8 hours.
If you are looking for a special fragrance that suits almost any situation, you should give this one a moment's attention. Maybe, like me, it will come to stay.

I noticed the Liam (as an avowed Lattafa fan) from the release, but somehow I didn't think it was worth buying. Oh, how stupid I was. The association with "Gris Charnel (Eau de Parfum) | bdk Parfums" or "Gris Charnel (Extrait) | bdk Parfums" had messed it up a bit for me. Too dark and somehow masculine for me, even if that doesn't often affect me. Here it put me off...

But are the fragrances similar? Yes.
Do I think Liam is better? Also yes, and a clear one at that.
In a nutshell, you could say that I miss the dark and masculine quality that "Gris Charnel (Eau de Parfum) | bdk Parfums" has for me.

The "Liam / ليام | Lattafa / لطافة" is much more vanilla and - even if no coconut is listed, I think many agree that it can be clearly smelled. Nevertheless, it is not a pina colada breaker for the summer, but has something cool and fresh, and at the same time so wonderfully creamy and melt-in-the-mouth. The tea brings a fine, but not too brute spiciness with the cardamom. The fig has a slight hint of fruit and is not too sweet here either. Despite the present sweetness, it does not have a jam-like, sticky sweetness. More like freshly sliced figs. Together with iris and the listed base, the result is a creamy-powdery, sweet-vanilla, fresh-sweet fragrance that I find ideal for spring. For an admittedly very small price, you get a wonderfully unobtrusive everyday fragrance that can also shine in the office without getting on your nerves. At the same time, however, it has an impressive longevity and sillage and suits every wearer; I don't recognize any clear feminine or masculine orientation.

Somehow, "Liam / ليام | Lattafa / لطافة" manages to combine the best of everything with ease.
At niche level.
He can do that. And he's damn good at it.

Soft, creamy, coconut in its finest form.
This fragrance screams bluntly of summer days, beach vacations, salt on the skin, warm summer wind, walking barefoot on the beach and sun on your face, creamy piña coladas in your hand, so cool that the cold ice in them conjures up small, cold droplets of water on the glass.
The scent simply means one thing: summer.

This may also be due to the fact that it really is reminiscent of expensive sun cream. The nice thing is that you can wear it so wonderfully even in summer!
As most of the creams here smell wonderful, but you don't have or can't find a matching fragrance, you usually stick with one or the other.
This fragrance here therefore fills a huge gap, as JamesBlond said below.
The fragrance blends in perfectly with a stroll through the city or a day at the beach during the day, but definitely also attracts attention and compliments afterwards as a fresh-up for the evening, like light attracts moths. It doesn't necessarily become too much even on hot days, but I would also say that this is clearly a matter of type. In any case, it doesn't bite, always remains creamy and soft and so dense that it can also score points with durability and sillage, but at the same time so fine that it doesn't become a headache scent. Other fragrances can certainly do this too - but if you also consider the price, we are at 100% value for money. No one here convinces me on a similar level.

Overall, I don't notice any crazy progression in the fragrance here, it remains relatively linear for me. However, this does not detract from the beauty and quality of the fragrance.
Rich, creamy, milky coconut, tropical flowers and vanilla (buttercream).
A wonderful summer gourmand.

...I find "Siracusa | Gritti".
It's a feast for the nose.
Why does hardly anyone talk about you with the intensity with which they talk about "Duchessa | Gritti"?

Basically, this may be a personal problem, but fall and winter fragrances find their way to me much faster than anything fresh, floral and summery.
"Siracusa | Gritti" was one of the first fragrances that caught my attention so much that I had to have it.

It's so special.
Somewhere between citric, creamy and green (how the hell does palm leaf smell? I've realized that since Siracusa. I'm thrilled!), it strikes the right balance and envelops my senses with a surprisingly intense longevity and sillage for a fresh fragrance.
It sets the mood for summer, palm trees, sun, beach vacations. At the same time, it has too much citrus to be one of the many sun cream fragrances, although it does have a touch of this vibe. It has a pleasant freshness, but is not a pure fresh underwear fragrance.
It combines the best of all summer fragrances in this direction for me (except for fruit, which is absolutely not here) and thus leaves out exactly what makes me avoid many perfumes labeled as summer fragrances. It's not too creamy, it has tension, it's fresh, but not too fresh...
For me, it cuts an excellent figure in any situation in spring and summer, it's not too shouty or loud anywhere, but not too quiet and unobtrusive for the evening either.
For me, it is perfectly balanced and tuned.
It definitely symbolizes one thing for me: the balanced middle between everything is not always boring.
I am thrilled.

Me too.
I still remember days in my childhood when my dad and I loved to walk to one of our favorite places near a nature reserve. For me as a child - and even now that I'm no longer a child - nature was always the greatest thing.
To linger, switch off, discover and relax.
In summer, the grass there was so dry that it was already turning yellow.
Almost only herbs and medicinal plants had a chance.
Warm, dry summer air, sunny, sweet meadow smelling of herbs and wildflowers. A bee here and there.
The fragrance thus unlocks another special nuance: emotion!
And that's what I love about fragrances. That they can do that.

"Cuir Béluga | Guerlain" takes me right back there in my mind.
It smells fine, high-quality powdery, I was afraid of my dreaded leather again. It smells wonderfully soft and cuddly here. In my opinion, there is no reason for leather skeptics to worry. Vanilla creams itself back in, wraps itself around the concept like a fine, thin scarf and holds all the components together. For me, as described in the statement, it has an idea of herbal tea. My childhood memory, which still lingers today as if it were fresh. As if I were there. Not medicinal, that might sound weird if you don't smell what I smell. It just has that powdery, almost dusty-dry sweetness that I know from our home-grown tea. As weird as that sounds, I think it's wonderful.
The fragrance lingers on the skin for quite a long time. It doesn't have a huge development, it opens for me in almost the same way as it stays at the end. Once again, a fragrance shows that you don't need 20 fragrance components to create a stunning scent. "Cuir Béluga | Guerlain" achieves this with ease, even with very few ingredients. It comes nowhere near any fragrance I have ever smelled before.
Sweet, but subtle enough, loud, but subtle enough to be exactly how it smells to me.
Feminine, soft, extremely high-quality and above all: unmistakable.
