Xerjoff V Collection

Xerjoff V Collection: An Olfactory Study in Italian Elegance

A deep dive into the citrus-forward mastery of Xerjoff’s minimalist V Collection.

By Dr. Laurent Beaumont, Fragrance Analyst & Historian · · Updated

Laurent holds a PhD in olfactory chemistry from Université de Versailles. He writes about composition, materials sourcing, and the lineage of perfumery houses.

The Xerjoff V Collection represents a deliberate departure from the house's more opulent, baroque compositions, favoring a linear and crystalline exploration of raw materials. In this iteration, the brand focuses on the purity of Citrus Bergamia, elevating a humble botanical staple into a sophisticated, unisex olfactory statement that demands intellectual engagement. As we analyze the 2020 release, it becomes evident that Xerjoff seeks to capture the Mediterranean sun within a bottle. This collection serves as a testament to the brand's ability to maintain high-luxury standards while stripping away unnecessary complexity, allowing the quality of the ingredients to dictate the narrative of the fragrance.
