Xerjoff XJ Zefiro is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Mathieu Nardin. XJ Zefiro opens with White Wine, Bergamot, Elemi, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Iris, Carnation, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Woody, Amber, Honey, and Incense. Xerjoff's XJ Zefiro carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Divisive but adored by its fans, Zefiro is a masterful blend of ancient church incense and modern Italian flair. Not a blind buy, but if it clicks, it's a showstopper.

While its uniqueness and moderate sillage might suit some creative office environments, Zefiro's bold incense and wine notes are more fitting for evening events, special occasions, or a classy casual outing. It's not a typical 'freshie' for sport or a discreet office choice, often being described as 'regal' or 'old money'.

About

Zefiro opens with a bracing, almost effervescent splash of white wine and zesty bergamot, quickly joined by the unique, herbaceous edge of artemisia and elemi. The heart unfolds into a rich tapestry of warm spices - cinnamon, iris, and cardamom - before settling into a profound, grounding base. Here, smoky incense and a touch of honey mingle with deep woody and amber notes, evoking the solemn grandeur of an old cathedral with a surprising modern twist.
