1888 Perfume – Fragrance Details & Scent Profile
Xerjoff 1888 is a distinguished addition to the Casamorati 1888 collection, reflecting a deep reverence for traditional Italian perfumery. This unisex fragrance masterfully combines a variety of accords to create a complex yet harmonious scent profile. It opens with a unique blend of coriander and saffron, enriched by green pepper and carnation, which introduces an earthy and slightly spicy aroma. The heart of the fragrance is a luxurious blend of neroli, rose, and ylang-ylang, offering a sweet and creamy floral experience that evokes a sense of opulence. The base notes of amber, birch, patchouli, and sandalwood provide a warm, sensual, and slightly smoky finish, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a sophisticated and memorable scent. Sergio Momo's homage to the historic Casamorati house is not only evident in the fragrance composition but also in the exquisite glass bottle design, complete with a goldtone cap inspired by the fleur-de-lis, making it a true collector's item.
More Fragrance Questions
What is sillage and how does 1888 Perfume project?
Sillage refers to the trail a fragrance leaves in the air as you move — sometimes called projection or throw. Fragrances with bold base notes like oud, amber, musk, and woods tend to project strongly. Lighter, citrus-forward or aquatic fragrances sit closer to the skin. For maximum projection, apply 1888 Perfume to pulse points and allow it to dry naturally without rubbing.
Why does 1888 Perfume smell different on me than in the bottle?
Fragrances interact with your skin chemistry, body temperature, and pH level, which is why the same scent can smell different from person to person. Factors like skin hydration, diet, and even medication can influence how a fragrance develops. Applying to moisturised skin helps the scent bloom more fully and last longer.
How should I apply 1888 Perfume for best results?
Spray 1888 Perfume onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears, inner elbows, and chest — where body heat will amplify the scent. Hold the bottle 10–15 cm from your skin and avoid rubbing the fragrance in, as this breaks down the top notes and reduces longevity. Applying over an unscented moisturiser helps the scent last even longer.
What is the difference between designer and niche fragrances?
Designer fragrances are produced by major fashion brands — such as Dior, Chanel, and YSL — and formulated to appeal to a broad audience at an accessible price. Niche fragrances are created by independent perfume houses with a focus on artistic expression, rare ingredients, and unique scent profiles, produced in smaller quantities at a premium price.
What makes Arabian and Middle Eastern fragrances unique?
Arabian fragrances — from houses like Lattafa, Rasasi, Afnan, and Swiss Arabian — are rooted in centuries-old perfumery traditions using ingredients like oud, rose, saffron, amber, and musk. They are often oil-based or highly concentrated, giving them exceptional longevity and sillage, while offering remarkable value compared to Western niche fragrances.
