Casamorati – Italian Art Nouveau perfumery, resurrected by Xerjoff

Casamorati: Italian Art Nouveau perfumery resurrected by Xerjoff

From 1888 in Bologna to the Xerjoff resurrection

Casamorati was founded in 1888 in Bologna by Claudio Casamorati, whose essences became the favourites of Queen Margherita of Italy, first queen of unified Italy. The maison crossed the early 20th century before disappearing — to be resurrected in 2010 by Xerjoff, the great Turin maison, which acquired the rights and perpetuates today the Art Nouveau aesthetic of the founder. A unique editorial bridge between Italian heritage perfumery (1888-1920s) and contemporary Italian niche.

The maison's signature scents

The Casamorati pantheon brings together Italica, Lira, Bouquet Ideale, La Tosca and Dolce Amalfi — a roster of heritage Italian compositions, recreated according to the original archives in contemporary versions.

Art Nouveau as visual signature

Casamorati cultivates a unique aesthetic in contemporary niche: the Italian Art Nouveau translated into 21st-century niche perfumery. The flacons are sculpted in the spirit of late-19th-century Italian crystals, with engravings that evoke iconic works (La Tosca, Lira and Italian opera). A line that pays tribute to the heritage tradition of Italian luxury, served by the contemporary olfactive expertise of the resurrecting maison Xerjoff.

Who is Casamorati for, and when to wear it?

Casamorati speaks to lovers of heritage Italian perfumery, who appreciate compositions rooted in the great national tradition. The house is unisex. Creations sit in the floral, oriental, hesperidic and powdery families. If you enjoy Casamorati, you will also want to explore Nobile 1942 (other Italian heritage maison), Profumum Roma and Xerjoff — three other Italian heritage signatures at Soleil d'Or.
