On 17 April 1888, Casamorati filed the trademark for its double-C logo, used to identify its soaps and perfumes. During its original period of production, the house received awards at national and international exhibitions, and Queen Margherita of Savoy was an admirer of its fragrances. Financial difficulties led to the original house’s closure around the middle of the twentieth century, after which its perfumes disappeared from the market for more than 60 years. In 2009, Xerjoff acquired the rights to Casamorati and revived the brand, with Xerjoff founder Sergio Momo identified as the figure who brought it back. Casamorati is currently presented as a collection of vintage perfumes by Xerjoff Group S.p.A. Its modern expression retains the original flacon design and double-C logo while reinterpreting nineteenth-century Italian perfumery through the artistic heritage of Art Nouveau. Lira is based on a Casamorati perfume originally released in the late nineteenth century, while 1888 retains the house’s namesake year.
