About the Brand

Xerjoff was founded by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo in Turin in 2007. In the same year, they introduced the brand's first collection, 17/17 Stone Label. The distinctive flacon cap was designed by Dominique Salvo, inspired by the Egyptian red crown Deshret.

In 2009, Sergio Momo revived the historic Italian perfume house Casamorati. The first Xerjoff mono-brand boutique was opened in 2010 at the Dubai Mall.
