Xerjoff in two sentences
According to the brand, Xerjoff was founded in Turin in 2007 by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo. Its hallmarks are high-quality raw materials, bottles handcrafted in Italy and very diverse collections, from fresh to opulent.
The full story of meteorites, pharaoh caps and rock ’n’ roll is told in Xerjoff from Turin. Warm favourites for autumn and winter are in The best warm fragrances from Xerjoff.
The name Xerjoff goes back to a nickname: Momo's Slavic grandmother called him "Joff", English colleagues turned that into "Sir Joff" – and that became Xerjoff.
The 5 best Xerjoff fragrances at 4D OUTFITTERS
Today Xerjoff comprises numerous collections, from fresh to opulent. These five fragrances are particular favourites with our customers:
1. Erba Pura (Vibe)
Erba Pura was launched in 2019 and is one of Xerjoff's best-known perfumes – for women and men. Fresh, fruity and contemporary: Sicilian orange and lemon open, a Mediterranean fruit basket awaits in the heart. White musk, amber and Madagascar vanilla form the base and unfold slowly on the skin.
2. Naxos (1861)
Naxos belongs to the 1861 collection, dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Italian unification – alongside Renaissance, Zefiro and Decas. This aromatic, spicy fragrance from 2015 takes you to Sicily: bergamot, lemon and lavender open, cinnamon, honey and cashmeran form the heart. Tobacco leaves, tonka bean and vanilla give it warm, woody depth. A tribute to Italy.
3. TORINO21 (Join the Club)
Since the Nitto ATP Finals moved to Turin in 2021, Xerjoff has sponsored the tournament – and has been releasing tennis-inspired fragrances ever since. TORINO21 was the first: cool mint with lemon, thyme and rosemary, as fresh and dynamic as a rally. You will now also find Torino24 in our shop.
4. Alexandria II (Oud Stars)
Alexandria II was released in 2012 as part of the luxurious Oud Stars collection. Inspired by the incense rituals of ancient Alexandria, it combines fresh top notes of apple, lavender, cinnamon and rosewood with rose, cedar and lily of the valley in the heart. A base of oud, vanilla, amber, musk and sandalwood makes it versatile and untamed.
5. Cruz del Sur II (Shooting Stars)
A journey into the rainforests of South America: mango, pineapple and apple blossom open, a green, floral heart follows, cedarwood and musk add depth. The special thing is in the case: like every fragrance in the Shooting Stars collection, Cruz del Sur II is presented with a certified meteorite fragment.
