Italica (2021) Xerjoff unisex

Scent story

To me it smells like a mithai shop before dawn, when everything is still warm from the night's work. Almond and milk open it — soft, creamy, comforting — with saffron threading through like a secret. Then toffee and vanilla take over, dark and caramelized and almost too delicious, settling into sandalwood, musk and cedar. It is decadent in the way only gourmands can be: you don't wear it, you want to eat it. A scent for people who order dessert first. Easy to love, even for beginners.
