Casamorati 1888 Dama Bianca

Casamorati 1888 Dama Bianca is a powdery floral fragrance, an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Kumquat and lime give it a bright citrus opening, then violet, Italian iris, lilac, Egyptian jasmine and lily-of-the-valley form a soft, airy floral heart. Vanilla, malt, white musk, ambrette, sandalwood and cedar make the dry-down creamy and slightly sweet. Its main accords include powdery, floral and iris.

Dama Bianca is an Eau de Parfum. The kumquat and lime are short-lived, and the wear is carried first by the powdery flowers and then by vanilla, malt, white musk and sandalwood, which leave a soft, creamy trail. Once the citrus has gone, its musky, powdery character tends to wear as a gentle aura rather than a sharp trail. Skin, application and weather all change how it wears; a decant lets you test Dama Bianca over several wears.

Dama Bianca fits spring days, relaxed dinners and everyday occasions. Choose it for soft powdery flowers with vanilla when a dense smoky or resinous style is less appealing.

Fragnatium lists Dama Bianca under For Her, and Casamorati 1888 presents it as a women's fragrance; the name is Italian for 'white lady'. Violet, iris, lilac and lily-of-the-valley over vanilla and musk give it a classic feminine powdery-floral character. Men who like iris and soft musks do wear it, but it reads clearly feminine.

Yes. Fragnatium fills Casamorati 1888 Dama Bianca decants from an original fragrance bottle purchased from a fragrance retailer. The liquid is transferred into a smaller, labelled atomiser; it is not an imitation or a manufacturer-packaged miniature.

A decant is a measured portion of the original fragrance transferred into a smaller atomiser. Fragnatium offers Casamorati 1888 Dama Bianca in 2 ml, 5 ml and 10 ml decants. Choose 2 ml for an initial skin trial, 5 ml for repeat wears, or 10 ml when you already enjoy the scent or want a travel size. You receive the selected decant, not the full-size bottle pictured.
