About the Brand

Xerjoff was founded by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo in Turin in 2007. In the same year, the brand introduced the 17/17 Stone Label collection, followed in 2009 by the Shooting Stars collection. Sergio Momo also revived the historic perfume house Casamorati in 2009, originally founded in Bologna in 1888.

Xerjoff combines traditional distillation methods with modern extraction technologies in its production. The distinctive cap of the fragrances was designed by Dominique Salvo, inspired by the ancient Egyptian red crown Deshret.

The Casamorati collection thus connects the legacy of historic Italian perfumery with the modern craftsmanship of Xerjoff.
