The History and Philosophy of Xerjoff
Sergio Momo, a former painter and designer, transformed his passion for beauty into one of the world's most respected niche perfume houses. The name Xerjoff comes from the nickname "Joff" given to him by his Slavic grandmother, which was extended to "Sir Joff" by his English colleagues. In 2005, Momo traveled to Grasse, the world capital of perfumery, to study fragrance creation and the cultural-historical foundations of modern perfumery.
Xerjoff doesn't just create fragrances – it creates multi-sensory experiences. Each fragrance tells a story through the most refined ingredients, combined with artistic bottles made from Murano crystal, gold details, and handcrafted caps. This dedication to perfection has positioned Xerjoff as one of the most respected and sought-after niche fragrance houses in the world.
