XJ 1861 - Zefiro – Eau de Parfum

Xerjoff - ZEFIRO - XJ 1861 - Eau de Parfum

ZEFIRO is an ode to the rich heritage of Rome and its baroque alchemy, captured in an expressive and mysterious perfume that embodies the rare magic of a potion. This fragrance leads down mysterious paths and creates a mystical aura that connects heaven and earth. In fact, ZEFIRO by XERJOFF is the Italian name of the Greek god Zephyros or Zephyr. In Greek mythology, Zephyros was worshipped as the god of the west wind. He was considered one of the Anemoi, the divine winds, and was known for his gentle, mild character.

Zephyros was often depicted as a young man with wings and an air of freshness and lightness, emphasising his connection to the mild west wind. In art and literature, Zephyros was often depicted as a figure symbolising spring weather and renewal. The choice of the name ZEFIRO for the perfume therefore seems apt, as it evokes the idea of freshness, lightness and renewal associated with the gentle breeze of the west wind. It enhances the mystical and poetic aura of the fragrance and adds another cultural layer that deepens its meaning.

The top note of ZEFIRO presents a tantalising blend of cardamom, clove, cinnamon, iris and davana, creating an intriguing and spicy opening. Davana is an aromatic plant known for its characteristic fragrance notes and its use in perfumery. Botanically known as Artemisia pallens, davana is an evergreen plant native to India and other parts of South Asia. The leaves and flowers of the davana plant have a strong, sweet and fruity scent with spicy and floral undertones.

This unique fragrance has a complex and multi-layered quality that makes it highly sought-after in perfumery and also adds a special note to the composition of ZEFIRO by XERJOFF. Davana is often used as a heart note in perfumes to create a warm and sensual aura. It lends perfumes a floral sweetness with spicy nuances and can complement and enhance a variety of other fragrance notes. Overall, Davana is a fascinating fragrance that enriches perfumes with its unique scent signature and adds a seductive, exotic note.

In the heart note, a blend of honey, incense, oud and amber unfolds, lending the fragrance a sensual and warm depth. The base note is dominated by bergamot, grape must and resins, especially rich incense, which enchants ZEFIRO to heavenly heights. The honeyed notes give the fragrance a certain depth, while the finely balanced accords of ambergris and spices lend it a robust strength. The velvety embrace of grape must, the fresh juice after the first pressing of the grapes and the essences from the orris root captivate the senses almost hypnotically and round off the composition harmoniously.

ZEFIRO from the XERJOFF XJ 1861 collection is more than just a perfume - it is a journey through the baroque alleyways of Rome, a connection to the mysterious powers of alchemy and a tribute to the supernatural beauty and magic of the ancient city.
