Lira

Lira is an Eau de Parfum by Xerjoff composed by Chris Maurice. It revives a fragrance launched by Casamorati at the end of the nineteenth century and created for an actress on the rise. The current composition is offered in sizes of 3, 5, 10, 30 and 100 ml.

Top

Blood orange brings a fruit with nuances of raspberry and cherry, far from a straightforward citrus. Bergamot adds a fruity freshness, tinged with sugar. Lavender opens a floral, camphorous vein that gives the opening an aromatic tone.

Heart

Jasmine, warm and sweet, keeps a wild undertone. Rose takes on tones of honey and wax, warm and rounded. Cinnamon introduces a spicy bark there, bordering on wood, which gives the flowers a pastry-like relief.

Base

Caramel evokes burnt sugar, vanilla and a milky note. Vanilla itself combines sugar, spice and warmth. Musk brings an animalic, woody warmth, and wood a creamy softness that rounds out the whole.

Gourmand and floral

The gourmand classification stems from the caramel and vanilla of the base, to which cinnamon lends its pastry-like evocation: a family that borrows its imagery from confectionery and dessert. The floral facet comes from the jasmine and rose of the heart, as well as the lavender in the top.

Reading the label

The list declares vanillin and coumarin. It also lists a Citrus aurantium peel oil, a bergamot peel oil, jasmine extract, sandalwood oil, limonene, linalool, citronellol and geraniol.
