About the Brand

Xerjoff was founded by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo in Turin in 2007. That same year, the brand introduced its first collection, 17/17 Stone Label, while the Shooting Stars collection followed in 2009.

Xerjoff combines traditional distillation methods with modern extraction technologies. Sergio Momo personally sources natural raw materials from various parts of the world. The brand also employs artisanal elements, including Murano glass flacons, Tuscan engravings, and crafted semi-precious stones. The distinctive cap of Xerjoff fragrances was designed by Dominique Salvo, inspired by the ancient Egyptian red crown of Deshret.

The fragrances of Xerjoff are underpinned by a combination of traditional methods, modern technologies, and artisanal craftsmanship.
