Xerjoff

Italian haute parfumerie from Turin

Xerjoff was founded in Turin in 2003 by Sergio Momo, an Italian answer to haute parfumerie that treats each release as an object — heavy glass, stone caps, juice composed from extravagant concentrations of fine materials. The catalogue reads like a grand tour: Sicilian citrus groves, Central Asian steppes, Renaissance courts. Naxos, from the XJ 1861 collection, pours dark honey and cinnamon over cured tobacco beneath a Mediterranean sky, and has become the house's most beloved passport stamp.
