Casamorati: Italian haute parfumerie brought back to life
A historic house revived by Sergio Momo
Casamorati is an Italian haute parfumerie house that fell silent during the 20th century before being revived by Sergio Momo, the founder of Xerjoff. His ambition: to restore the Italian haute parfumerie of the past in a contemporary reading, with vintage-inspired bottles and a more classical spirit than that of the Turin house.
The signature fragrances of the house
The Casamorati pantheon brings together Italica, Lira, Mefisto and its Mefisto Gentiluomo variation, along with Fiero, Quattro Pizzi, La Tosca and Gran Ballo — the signatures that established the house among niche lovers.
An accessible Italian elegance
Casamorati holds a precise place in Sergio Momo's world: the same demands on materials, but a more classical register and prices more accessible than the jewel-like Xerjoff bottles. It is the ideal way into that universe. The house is unisex by temperament.
Who is Casamorati for, and when to wear it?
The house speaks to lovers of Italian elegance who want a thoroughbred trail without the price tag of a more extreme niche. Its floral creations are worn all year round, while the oriental and woody ones come into their own in autumn and winter. If you enjoy Casamorati, explore Xerjoff, its sister house, too.

Hesitating between Italica and Lira is normal: niche perfumery is an intimate matter. Our custom discovery box — five 2 mL samples hand-prepared from our catalogue — lets you compare at home.
Casamorati at Soleil d'Or, a Lille perfumery since 1953
Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on the Grand'Place in Lille, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery passed down through the generations. Hubert Maës (third generation) made it a niche perfumery reference; today his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maës (fourth generation) uphold that standard at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800). Our team lets you try Casamorati on skin, with expert advice and guided trials.

Frequently asked questions about Casamorati perfumes
What is the history of Casamorati 1888?
Founded in Bologna in 1888, Casamorati became known for its refined essences before fading away during the 20th century. The house was revived by Sergio Momo, founder of Xerjoff, who preserves its Art Nouveau DNA while giving it a contemporary sense of luxury — as in Italica.
Casamorati and Xerjoff: what is the relationship between the two brands?
Casamorati 1888 is a collection created and distributed by Xerjoff. Sergio Momo, founder of Xerjoff, revived the historic Bolognese house with the same demands in raw materials and craftsmanship. Both houses share those standards but have distinct olfactory identities: Xerjoff is more contemporary, Casamorati 1888 stays rooted in its Art Nouveau heritage, from Lira to Mefisto.
Which olfactory families does Casamorati 1888 cover?
Casamorati 1888 covers a wide spectrum. The gourmands are the heart of the line: Italica, a vanilla oriental, and Lira, a caramelised floral. Fiero is its only citrus and Mefisto its only aromatic; Regio, a floral with lavender accents, and Bouquet Ideale, a spiced oriental, share a woody base with them.
Casamorati 1888: perfumes for men or women?
Casamorati 1888 does not compose along gender lines: at Soleil d'Or, all its creations are listed as unisex. Bouquet Ideale, a vanilla oriental, and Regio, a floral with lavender accents, suit anyone equally. Our team will guide you in store in Lille.
