By Isabella Romano, Master Fragrance Reviewer · · Updated

Isabella has reviewed over 4,000 fragrances across two decades. Trained at ISIPCA, certified evaluator for niche houses, frequent guest on Fragrantica panels.

In the pantheon of niche perfumery, few houses command the reverence of Xerjoff. With a portfolio that spans from opulent orientals to crisp, photorealistic citruses, the brand has consistently delivered olfactory masterpieces. Enter Torino 21, a fragrance that captures the very essence of a sun-drenched Italian morning in the Piedmont region. Released in 2021, this aromatic-fresh composition is a love letter to the city of Turin, its vibrant markets, and the verdant hills that cradle it.

From the first spritz, Torino 21 announces itself with a dazzling burst of green and citrusβ€”a veritable garden party for the senses. But beneath its effervescent surface lies a sophisticated structure that evolves with grace and precision. It is a scent that defies the ordinary, offering a refreshing alternative to the ubiquitous aquatic and ambroxan-heavy summer fragrances. For those who seek a fragrance that is both invigorating and refined, Torino 21 is a revelation.

In this comprehensive review, we will dissect every facet of this remarkable creation: from its luminous top notes to its lingering musky base, its performance, seasonality, and how it compares to its peers. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a curious newcomer, prepare to be transported to the aromatic heart of Italy.
