The Best Xerjoff Perfumes to Buy in Dubai
By the AZ & CO teamPublished
Short answer: For a first Xerjoff, choose Erba Pura for bright fruit in the warm months, or Naxos for honey and tobacco from October to March. For a fresh office scent, pick Torino21 or Mefisto. For rose and oud, pick Alexandria II from the Oud Stars line.
Xerjoff is an Italian perfume house from Turin, founded in 2007 by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo. In 2009 it acquired the rights to Casamorati, a Bologna perfume house dating back to 1888, and brought it back. The range is large, so here are ten to start with, grouped by when you would wear them.

How we picked
We are a young shop, so we do not yet have enough orders to rank Xerjoff bottles by sales. These ten are picked on what shoppers in the UAE search for and what we have available. Three of them (Mefisto, 40 Knots and Alexandria II) have already been ordered from us. Each pick covers a different style, so you can find a match without going through the whole range.
The notes below come from Xerjoff's own website. The best season in the table is general guidance based on how Xerjoff describes each scent (fresh, woody, spicy or sweet), not a promise of how it will wear on you. Every pick was available to order on 11 October 2026.
Fresh, for daytime and the heat
Erba Pura
From Xerjoff's Vibe collection, filed as fresh and fruity. Sicilian orange, Calabrian bergamot and lemon open over a heart of Mediterranean fruit, then settle on white musk, Madagascar vanilla and amber. It is bright and sweet, and it suits men and women.
Skip it if you want something dry or woody. This is fruit, vanilla and musk.
Torino21
Torino is the Italian name for Turin, Xerjoff's home city. The house says Torino21 was inspired by professional tennis, and Xerjoff was a partner of the ATP Finals in Turin from 2021 to 2025. It belongs to the Join the Club line, and Xerjoff keeps its notes secret. It calls the scent fresh and aromatic, and the ingredient list on its website names bergamot, lemon and lavender oils.
Xerjoff has followed it with more tennis scents in the same line. We also stock Torino22, Torino23 and Torino25.
Skip it if you like to know every note before you buy, or you want something sweet.
Mefisto (Casamorati)
Xerjoff says Casamorati first released Mefisto around the turn of the 20th century, for women. Its version today is unisex. Calabrian lemon, grapefruit, bergamot and lavender open into Florentine iris and rose, on amber, cedarwood, musk and sandalwood. Xerjoff calls it fresh and woody. It is an easy choice for the office.
Skip it if you want sweetness or fruit. This is citrus, iris and woods.
Accento
Also from the Vibe collection. Pineapple and hyacinth open over iris, jasmine and pink pepper, on amber, musk, vanilla, patchouli and vetiver. Xerjoff files it as fresh and musky. It is fruity and floral, and it suits men and women.
Skip it if you do not like fruity florals. Pineapple leads the opening.
Sweet and warm, for evenings and cooler months
Naxos
Part of Xerjoff's 1861 collection, which celebrates the unification of Italy. Naxos is the house's tribute to Sicily. Lemon, bergamot, lavender and incense from Oman open into honey, cinnamon, jasmine sambac and cashmere, then tobacco leaf, tonka bean and vanilla. Xerjoff files it as aromatic and spicy. Warm and sweet, best from October to March.
Skip it if you do not like honey or tobacco, or you need one bottle for a Dubai summer.
Decas
Also from the 1861 collection. Its name comes from the Latin word for ten, and the house says it arrived a decade after the first 1861 perfume. Mandarin, tuberose and tobacco open into benzoin, opoponax and Tuscan orris, on musk, tolu balsam and Bourbon vanilla. Xerjoff describes its character as a soft sweetness.
Skip it if you do not like white flowers. Tuberose is in the opening.
Lira (Casamorati)
Lira is Italian for lyre. Xerjoff says it is based on a Casamorati perfume first released in the late 1800s. Blood orange, lavender and bergamot open into cinnamon, jasmine and rose, then settle on caramel, musk and vanilla. Xerjoff files it as floral and gourmand.
Skip it if you do not enjoy sweet, dessert-like scents. Caramel and vanilla make up the base.
Woody and oud, for evenings and occasions
40 Knots
Another Join the Club scent, so Xerjoff keeps the notes secret. The house says it was inspired by yacht club life: a sailboat on the Mediterranean, with salty sea air. It files the scent as woody and oriental, not fresh.
Skip it if you want the full list of notes before you buy, or you want a light, clean aquatic for the gym.
Alexandria II
From Xerjoff's Oud Stars line. The house says it was inspired by the ancient Arabian art of perfumery and the city of Alexandria. Apple, cinnamon, lavender and rosewood open into cedarwood, lily of the valley and Bulgarian rose, on amber, Laotian oud, musk, sandalwood and vanilla. Xerjoff files it as woody and oriental.
Skip it if you want a dark, smoky oud on its own. Here the oud is mixed with apple, rose and vanilla.
Symphonium
From the 17/17 Stone Label line. Orange and Spanish mandarin open into Indian cardamom and Belgian chocolate, on musk, Madagascar vanilla and a mix of Lao and Thai oud. Xerjoff files it as woody and gourmand. Rich and unusual, for special occasions.
Skip it if this is your first Xerjoff or you want an everyday scent. Chocolate with oud is an unusual pair, and it costs more than the other picks here.

Questions people ask
Which Xerjoff is best for summer in the UAE?
Start with the ones Xerjoff itself files as fresh: Erba Pura, Torino21, Mefisto and Accento. Keep Naxos, Decas, Lira, Alexandria II and Symphonium for the cooler months and evenings.
What is the difference between Erba Pura and Erba Gold?
Both are in Xerjoff's Vibe collection, and the house says Erba Gold is similar in composition to Erba Pura and keeps the citrus opening. The main change is in the heart. Erba Pura has Mediterranean fruit. Erba Gold has melon, pear, green apple, cardamom and cloves, and adds woody notes to the base. Choose Erba Pura for plain bright fruit and vanilla, or Erba Gold if you want more spice.
What is the difference between Naxos and Decas?
Both belong to Xerjoff's 1861 collection, and both are warm and sweet. Naxos is built on lavender, honey and tobacco. Decas leads with mandarin, tuberose and tobacco, then orris and vanilla. If you love honey, choose Naxos. If you prefer florals and orris, choose Decas.
Is Casamorati the same as Xerjoff?
Casamorati is an old perfume house from Bologna, with a history going back to 1888. Its perfumes had been off the market for decades when Xerjoff acquired the rights in 2009 and revived it. Xerjoff sells Casamorati perfumes such as Mefisto and Lira today. On our site they sit on the Xerjoff page.
Are Xerjoff testers original?
Yes. A real tester is the same perfume, made for shop counters and sold in the brand's own tester box, new, unused and unsprayed. It carries a batch code like any boxed bottle, and ours are covered by the same refund promise. More in tester vs boxed perfume.
