About the Brand

Claudio Casamorati founded the C. Casamorati perfume factory in Bologna and on 17 April 1888 registered a trademark featuring a logo formed by a double letter C. For his perfumed products he received a golden pin from Queen Margherita of Savoy.

The original perfume house ceased operations around the mid-20th century, and its fragrances subsequently disappeared from the market for more than 60 years. Xerjoff, founded by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo in Turin in 2007, acquired the rights to the brand and revived Casamorati in 2009. The original logo and bottle were preserved during the revival. The modern collection draws inspiration from Italian perfumery and the aesthetics of the Art Nouveau period.

In this fragrance, the historical identity of Xerjoff Casamorati is expressed through the preserved logo and bottle, as well as the inspiration drawn from Italian perfumery.
