Casamorati Dolce Amalfi
Xerjoff (2017)

It would has been one of the most flavorous perfumes if they just hadn't used cloves in its formula. Dolce Amalfi opens with soft and yummy scent of quince. The first ten minutes promise a wonderful fragrance. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for the scratchy smell of cloves to enter and destroy the light. The aroma of quince is sparkling in itself, if they were satisfied with spices such as cardamom and saffron, they could increase the radiance of the scent to its peak. But a lot of cloves and vanilla have been used in it and they've ruined the scent. With these details, the color of the bottle doesn't match the scent very well; Maybe if the bottle had a marbling design, it would has been more in line with the scent.

Dolce Amalfi by Xerjoff is a romantic composition which sailing over the sunny Campania tells beautiful stories and evokes even more beautiful memories.

Situated south of the bustling Naples, the rocky Amalfi Coast has been a magnet for adventurous travellers since time immemorial, luring them with its fascinating wildlife, a stunning contrast between the gentle blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the austerity of the rocky cliffs, the cool shade of lush forests and the charm of picturesque towns.

The atmosphere and climate of Amalfi is reflected in the sweetness of the juicy fruit opening of Dolce Amalfi with notes of apple, saffron, cardamom and cloves, the resinous accord of tolu balm, the warmth of incense and the velvety softness of tonka beans, vanilla ambergris and musk.

I don't know why I was expecting bitter almonds. What a shock to smell the sea upon spraying. And then, a few seconds later, another shock: the sea breeze had transformed into a tutti frutti bubblegum, with spices. Such a great story!

Utterly gorgeous, luminous, juicy, spicy, resinous fragrance that is pure magic on my skin. It does have bubblegummy (yes, at the surface level it does smell like Juicy Fruit, albeit the most luxurious Juicy Fruit you could possibly imagine) ice creamy shades, but only a smidge - this is a complex fragrance with facets that reveal themselves only after repeated wearings. My first few wearings were dominated by the fruity quince, apple, vanilla, and spices (still a potent and delicious combination), but now the incense and tolu balsam stick out to my nose, making this an even more beautiful and nuanced composition. One thing has remained prevalant throughout my testing of Dolce Amalfi, however, and that is a lovely vanilla - silky, buttery smooth - that leaves an irrestibile aroma in its wake. I am plowing headlong through my 5ml decant and will without doubt be coughing up the cowries for at least a 30ml bottle, only around $100. As far as I know, of the Casamorati line only Dolce Amalfi and Mefisto are available in 30ml, and as much I love fragrances like 1888, Fiero, Regio, and Italica, my wallet cringes at their price tags. But for ~$100 at 30ml, I can still own this beautiful fragrance from the oh-so-wonderful but oh-so-expensive house of Xerjoff. If you're looking for a truly unique, impeccably blended, fruity, complex, and totally unisex warm weather fragrance, look no further than Dolce Amalfi.

What an amazing fragrance by Xerjoff!

Fruity with a woodsy bite; just received as a blind buy and I am thoroughly impressed. Dolce Amalfi is creamy, slightly sweet with a citusy feel but as it dry downs you get this woodsy sensation that really comes alive on the your skin.

For me, Dolce Amalfi by Xerjoff has an aromatherapeutic effect, as if I was taking essential oils of apples and spices and lavishing in it. It isn't a typical gourmand scent, but it well could be but for the presence of otherwise pleasant tolu balsam's resinous touch, smoky incense, cedar starchiness, muskiness, and amber's powderiness.

Otherwise, Dolce Amalfi has a balsamic feel, warm and lovely, fit for wear by men or women. Great longevity with moderate sillage, this is a scent that's worth checking out.
