XerJoff - Casamorati 1888 - Mefisto
Mefisto is, in a sense, an Italian-Oriental men's fragrance.
Mefisto honors classic Italian Colognes. The fragrance opens with fresh notes of grapefruit, lemon, and bergamot and leads on a multifaceted path to a classic floral heart of rose and Florentine iris. The base of Mefisto consists of cedarwood and sandalwood notes, accompanied by sensual notes of musk and amber. While the top and heart notes of Mefisto reflect the classic Italian characteristics of the composition, the base with its opulent accords of soft and delicious notes forms the oriental finish.
The Casamorati 1888 collection, launched by the perfume house XerJoff, reflects the history of the magnificent perfume house of the same name, which was founded in Italy between the 18th and 19th centuries.
La Fabbrica di Profumi C. Casamorati specialized in the production of exquisite fragrances, including Profumeria Fina alla Violetta Ideale, an elegant violet perfume. In addition, their range also included various sophisticated bath soaps. Over the years, Casamorati received numerous awards from important national and international figures. The most extraordinary and certainly most prestigious recognition Signor Casamorati received was personally from Her Majesty Queen Margherita of Italy: During a visit to one of the national exhibitions, Her Royal Highness was so impressed by the quality of the soaps that she presented the perfumer with a golden pin as a token of her gratitude and deep respect.
Xerjoff, known and loved for its high-quality and exclusive fragrances, has made it its goal to preserve the historical and artistic heritage of that glamorous Casamorati era. Thus, some of the historical original recipes were carefully revised and relaunched – so that the spirit of Casamorati may live forever!
