Xerjoff – Sergio Momo, Italian Excellence in Luxury Perfumery from Turin

The name Xerjoff is a personal invention of Sergio Momo. It unites two nicknames: "Joff" — the childhood nickname given to him by his Slavic grandmother — and "Sir" — the address used by his London colleagues when he worked in advertising in London. "Sir Joff" became "Xerjoff". It is a brand that carries its founder's intimate history — between Italy, Slavic roots and England.

Naxos (1861 collection) is the house's absolute icon — a honey, lavender, tobacco and cinnamon aromatic of exceptional complexity and longevity. Erba Pura (XJ collection) is the global bestseller — a sunny, musky fruity that is among the most-worn perfumes in niche perfumery. Alexandria II is the most revered of the house's orientals. Our discovery box lets you test before investing.

Sergio Momo's philosophy is to create "a work of art within a work of art". Every Xerjoff flacon is designed as a collector's object: the first collections (17/17 Stone Label, Shooting Stars) are adorned with semi-precious stones, meteorite fragments and gold-plated caps. Every material is chosen in coherence with the fragrance's olfactory universe. The flacons are made by Italian artisans — the avant-garde form and golden caps reflect an authentic Turinese luxury.

Xerjoff (2007) is Sergio Momo's main house — contemporary, luxurious, bold, global. Casamorati 1888 is a historic Bologna house founded in 1888 by Claudio Casamorati, relaunched by Sergio Momo in 2009 with an Art Nouveau aesthetic and deliberate vintage touch — pompoms on flacons, Belle Époque packaging. The two houses coexist under the same founder: Xerjoff for Italian avant-garde, Casamorati for 19th-century perfumery heritage.

For a first Xerjoff, the XJ collection is the most accessible: Erba Pura (universal fruity · global bestseller) is the ideal entry point. Accento (elegant floral) is perfect for a more floral profile. For a characterful aromatic: Naxos (honey-lavender-tobacco) is a revelation. For oriental: Alexandria II stands out. Our discovery box lets you explore the house before committing to a full bottle.
