Via Cavour I vs Italica

Via Cavour I receives positive attention from the niche fragrance community, with users noting it takes a distinct path from typical Xerjoff scents while maintaining the house's signature quality. The fragrance earns high marks on Fragrantica and is recommended for sampling, though it remains less discussed than other Xerjoff releases.

Italica is a polarizing fragrance that works beautifully for gourmand lovers who perceive the almond cake, milk, and toffee notes as intended, but disappoints those who detect fruity/cherry or medicinal qualities instead. While praised for packaging and projection, it suffers from weak longevity and questionable performance relative to its price point, making sampling before purchase highly recommended.
