About this deal

After the fruity-sweet initial phase, caramel and vanilla begin to assert themselves more and more as the main protagonists of the fragrance. This however - and this is what I particularly like about Lira - without being penetrating or completely exuberant. The gourmand fragrance itself is an absolute dream for all sweet toothers and should not leave the surroundings cold. In any case, the quality of the ingredients used is immediately noticeable. Well, I think you could try the scent for a change. The only criticism is that it's not really worth the price. Because, as I said, you smell a lot of vanilla, but so many other fragrances also smell, and that at a much cheaper price and also high quality and good. Here you probably just pay for the brand, so to speak... like with some Roja or Amouage fragrances, hopefully you know what I mean. That everything is high quality, but should be clear here, of course, so fans of the brand or those who want it can gladly test and access :)

Well, I'll try the scent on my skin. Hmmm, enthusiasm is very limited. Blood orange again, very weak, not much else.. Well, sample put away.. After 10 minutes something magic happens. I sit on the sofa and read... Wow, what happens now..... I suddenly take an incredibly nice smell was. I've never smelled anything so beautiful in my life without exaggerating. I can't describe how unique and unmistakably beautiful this fragrance unfolds on the skin. The longer the fragrance unfolds and melts into the skin, the more magical this fragrance becomes... Whereby in the base also a little musk is added, and the fragrance not 100% only smells of vanilla, and I think that's good, so at least a small, but fine change is added. I think Lira stands out from other gourmands in this vein. The lavender listed is minimal for me to smell. Rose and jasmine I do not necessarily perceive so, but I think they give this fragrance its noble aura, Exactly what makes Lira suitable for everyday use for me. Edible but in a grown up way. The bottle: The bottle is as high quality as ever. It is thin and high and widens in height. It ends at the upper part in an arch and thus looks like an antique column, except that the flacon appears somewhat wider than these columns. On the front you can see a label with a portrait of a woman (the Starlet??). The gilded lid has a beautiful shape and reminds somehow of royal headgear of ancient Lower Egypt. A beautiful bottle, even if the brown colour of the bottle might not please everyone. As far as the occasion is concerned, the fragrance is, in my opinion, predestined for festive evening events, but can still be worn universally without any problems. Only in the summer heat of the day the caramel sweetness is a bit too much.This scent is definitely not for candy scorners. But if you are looking for an extremely tasty gourmand that, in contrast to many other fragrances of this genus, is also perfectly wearable on springlike days and somewhat cooler summer nights, then Lira from the Casamorati 1888 series is the right choice for you. This is mainly due to the wonderfully juicy and natural looking blood orange, which skilfully loosens up the very sugary sweetness of the caramel vanilla melange especially in the first 1-2 hours and radiates a spring-like yet always distinguished aura. To Lira I have already made a statement, but now I have to tell a nice story about this wonderful fragrance again.

The brand recreates the history of the glorious house of fragrances founded by Claudio Casamorati in Italy in the 19th century, with the intention of safeguarding the historical and artistic heritage of the glamorous Art Nouveau era. Sweet licorice complements the rich spices present in this concoction while creamy ylang‑ylang undertones and jasmine notes bring out a delightful aroma that keeps the scent from being too cloying. Lira lasts about 6-8 hours on my skin and is definitely very noticeable by the environment for 4-5 hours.Well, of course the fragrance is usable especially in winter (or autumn), it can be used as a low-dose everyday fragrance or as a deliciously biteable scent (I told you, that's my saying, my old lyre!). Okay, so I think the scent is great. I liked the top note best, because you can smell a nice blood orange, but also the rest of the fragrance is of course very beautiful. The scent is vanilla-heavy as usual, whereby the fruity notes from the beginning can be smelled in the scent cloud a little later, and the scent does not immediately smell of vanilla at least in the first few hours :)

Lira also comes rather to stay a little longer, she is not in a hurry, at least that's how it is with me. Further exploration reveals nuances of jasmine along with spicy cinnamon, and hints of warm vanilla and caramel ‑ all rounded off nicely by musk tones that linger on the skin long after application. Lira provides a unique experience with its blend of invigorating citruses, balanced by decadent caramel. Lira is a femme fatale with gourmand vibes of caramel, sparkling citrus, refreshing lavender, and a soft spicy core composed of cinnamon and liquorice delivering an intoxicating twist. Lira is a simple fragrance with an enormous impact. It has been amplified by the fine fresh scent of caramel and vanilla, supported by soothing blood orange that lasts until dry-down, and deepened by soft spices. A clash of warm and sweet notes with juicy fresh fruits and narcotic Egyptian jasmine that composes a sumptuously romantic base. Imaginaţi-vă cel mai dulce caramel scurs peste cea mai decadenta ciocolată în straturi, o budincă din care geme o vanilie din categoria grea, un motz de cremă cu unt şi scorţişoară aşezată peste crusta unei amandine crăpând sub greutatea linguriţei, prrrr, toate stinse cu un santal de portocale roşii de sicilia. Cu bucurie am aflat că mai există o soluţie (pe lângă bulimie) Cum folosesc încă roţile ajutătoare de începător în zona parfumeriei gurmande, am pornit cu prejudecăţi - crezând că majoritatea intra în categoria care încă nu îmi surâde - aceea a parfumurilor "prăjiturică" gen Angel, LVEB,& ceata. Lira este în altă categorie, mie nu îmi miroase a parfum ci a DULCE, toată bucuria unei orgii culinare într-un puf (sau două sau trei sau zece) cu zero vinovăţie. Senzaţie similară de dulce real, nu de "dulcegărie" am mai găsit şi în Messy Sexy Just Rolled ouţ of Bed A Lab on Fire (sarumana pt eşantion, Lexxa!) Eh no, şi mie îmi plac dulciurile rău da' rău de tot (şi ele mie) doar că până acu' un an nici nu îmi imaginam că o să vreau să dau o poală de bani să miros ca o napolitană. Mi se părea perfect valid ce zicea doamna Coco, că o femeie nu trebuie să miroase niciodată că un tufiş de trandafiri şi nici nu vreau să îmi amintesc ce ziceam eu despre femeile care aleg să miroase a prăjiturică. Om rău (eu). Şi cum răutatea se plăteşte, normal că ţin regim după sărbători - un keto trist, cazon şi înfometat (mai lung ca o zi de post, că măcar acolo ai voie fructe)Aceasta creatie minunata a Casei Xerjoff este un gurmand desavarsit. Este dulce dar nu coplesitor. Nota de lavanda echilibreaza frumos compozitia facandu-l atat de adulat in randul iubitorilor de parfumuri. A fragrance that is not complicated, noble by its simplicity! On each woman, a poem of sensuality and warmth... to melt away. By the way, the scent is powdery sweet and you can smell the vanilla the most here, but if you smell more at the sprayed place, the tangier scents like lavender appear more intense. I think it's nice that you can still smell nice, fruity scents from the top note in the scent cloud from time to time. Lira is a truly captivating fragrance with an aroma crafted to envelop the senses. It has been blended for unparalleled sophistication and features top notes of bright bergamot, sweet blood orange, calming lavender, and subtle licorice. Haute perfumer Xerjoff has been teasing and tantalising our noses since 2003. Founder Sergio Momo's passion for scents blossomed as a teenager, developed not only by his father's cologne collection but by everyday aromas – such as a local bakery or passing motorbike – in his hometown of Turin. These humble inspirations continue to inform the luxury Italian brand today.
