Founded in 2007 in Turin, Italy, by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo
Momo trained in art and design before turning to perfumery, studying in Grasse, France, the traditional center of the fragrance industry
Known for pairing high-concentration, richly layered compositions with elaborate bottle design
Revived Casamorati, a historic Italian perfume house dating back to 1888, bringing its original formulas and flacon design back into production
Sources natural oud from certified plantations in Laos, Cambodia, Borneo, and India
Grown from a small startup into a genuine international niche house, with boutiques in cities including London, Dubai, and Paris
Xerjoff is a relatively young house, founded in 2007, but it's grown quickly by treating each fragrance as a full design object, pairing bold, richly layered scents with elaborate bottles and packaging. Founder Sergio Momo also revived Casamorati, a 19th-century Italian perfume house, bringing its original recipes and bottle design back after decades out of production.
The house is known for big, high-concentration compositions, citrus and fruit-forward scents like Erba Pura alongside deep, traditional oud-based lines, all built with genuine attention to raw material sourcing. It's a good pick if you want a fragrance with real intensity and a strong identity behind the bottle.
