Mysterious, opulent, and steeped in history, Xerjoff XJ 1861 Zefiro is an Oriental Spicy fragrance inspired by the grandeur of Rome and its rich baroque heritage. Launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Mathieu Nardin, Zefiro is a majestic blend of sacred incense, warm spices, and golden sweetness—ideal for both men and women who crave depth and drama in their scent.
The fragrance opens with a distinctive and unexpected combination of elemi resin, white wine, artemisia, and bergamot, introducing a sparkling yet resinous tone. The heart unfolds with luxurious cardamom, spicy cinnamon, elegant iris, and the floral spice of carnation, creating a textured and aromatic middle. As it settles, Zefiro reveals a deep, smoky base of incense, woodsy notes, glowing amber, and sweet honey, casting a warm, lingering aura of sophistication.
Zefiro is a fragrance for those drawn to ritual, richness, and mystery—an olfactory tribute to culture, passion, and timeless Italian artistry.
