The tradition of a Grand Ball dates back to the late 17th century, when the young, emerging ladies of the great noble houses would participate in lavish “coming out” parties, great spectacles of lights and mirrors where the aristocrats-in-training would dazzle the court with their beauty in the hopes of attracting a noble suitor of their own. With Gran Ballo, Casamorati pays tribute to these early debutantes with a heady, delicately gorgeous floral gourmand that holds its intoxicating secrets as closely as a future Countess gracefully descending a master staircase.  Gran Ballo opens with a burst of youthful freshness, a sweet, fresh berry and juicy tangerine that perks up the senses but stays tantalizingly hushed. The floral heart, made of rare honeysuckle set against jasmine and gardenia, draws out the softest, most feminine elements of each, but with a barely-perceptible edge of indolic sexiness. And the rich, ravishing ambergris and vanilla drydown, with warm tones of caramel, further establishes the wearer of Gran Ballo as a delicate beauty, but one with hidden reserves of sensuality to emerge at any moment. Fresh and youthful but luscious and captivating, Gran Bello is a scent for the belle of the ball- in any era, at any age.
