Best Xerjoff Casamorati 1888 Dupe
Casamorando 1988 captures the luminous floral heart and spiced opening of Casamorati 1888 quite competently, with the rose-carnation-ylang-ylang accord translating well. However, the clone exhibits slightly less refinement in the base, with a noticeably weaker birch presence and a more straightforward amber-sandalwood drydown that lacks some of the original's complexity and woody depth.
The clone performs adequately in projection and longevity but falls short on mid-stage development and base sophistication. Notably missing or significantly reduced are the saffron spice detail and the distinctive birch woodiness that give the original its sophisticated character.
