Xerjoff is an Italian fragrance company from Turin founded in 2007 by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo
History
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], the brand's "commercial heart" is in London, where it generates one fifth of its revenue.[1]
Some of Xerjoff's perfumes 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.[4] [5] Scent of Dark was released with Tony Iommi alongside a song of the same name in November 2021.[6] Xerjoff has sponsored the ATP Finals since the tournament moved to Turin in 2021, releasing tennis-inspired scents each year.[7]
