Summary

Zefiro Vintage is a warm spicy Eau de Parfum centered on incense, spice, amber, honey, and oud. Bergamot, elemi, davana, and wine must create an aromatic opening before iris, cinnamon, carnation, and cardamom build the heart. Incense, honey, amber, and oud then form a smoky resinous base with controlled sweetness. The result is rich and atmospheric rather than simply sweet, suited to shoppers who want spice and incense with a substantial ambery-woody finish.

About the Brand

Xerjoff is an Italian luxury perfume house founded by Sergio Momo and known for artistic perfumery, elaborate materials, polished presentation, and collections built around distinct narratives. Its catalog ranges from citrus and aromatics through florals, fruit, woods, amber, gourmand, leather, and oud. Zefiro Vintage belongs to the 1861 world and represents the house’s warm incense-spice vocabulary. Bergamot, elemi, davana, wine must, iris, cinnamon, carnation, cardamom, incense, honey, amber, and oud move from aromatic brightness into a smoky resinous finish. The composition connects Roman-inspired storytelling with Xerjoff’s preference for layered, high-impact structure.
