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. 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.

Since that day, she is always happy when I come to the store because "it would always smell so good when I was there". Just compliments like that just make me happy. 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.

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. 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. To Lira I have already made a statement, but now I have to tell a nice story about this wonderful fragrance again. 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 :)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. 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 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.

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!). Each Xerjoff fragrance is composed of exceptional ingredients, blended together to create distinctive and captivating original scents. Fresh mint and lily-of-the-valley meet the musky base aroma of patchouli and cedar, while sweet lychee top notes combine with intense Egyptian jasmine – with intoxicating effects. 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. A fragrance that is not complicated, noble by its simplicity! On each woman, a poem of sensuality and warmth... to melt away.The samples have finally arrived. Unsuspectingly I spray a little on the test strips provided... First of all a big disappointment. I smell almost nothing, almost nothing... A little blood orange without deep... Smell irritated again after 5 minutes on the strips, still zero... ? Tip: Don't spray this scent on a test strip but on the skin...
