Xerjoff is an Italian fragrance company from Turin founded in 2007 by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo.

History

[edit]

Xerjoff was founded in Turin in 2007 by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo.[1] The name comes from "Joff", a nickname for Momo from his Slavic grandmother, which was extended to "Sir Joff" by English colleagues.[2] Momo, a former painter and designer, studied perfumery in Grasse in 2005.[1] Andrea Tessitore became the company's president in July 2018.[1][3] As of 2019, the brand's "commercial heart" is in London, where it generates one fifth of its revenue.[1]

Some of Xerjoff's perfumes[4] have been created with various partners. Save Me was announced in January 2021 for Brian May's Save Me Trust as part of Xerjoff's charity fundraising collection Spray to Help.[5][6] Scent of Dark was released with Tony Iommi alongside a song of the same name in November 2021.[7] In 2025 they collaborated with Duran Duran, releasing two fragrances.[8] Xerjoff has sponsored the ATP Finals since the tournament moved to Turin in 2021, releasing tennis-inspired scents each year.[9]
