In a coming together of two masters of their respective crafts, Xerjoff has collaborated with Automobili Lamborghini to create three new perfumes: Avanguardia, Fierezza and Perseveranza. These scents express the authenticity, bravery and penchant for the unexpected that define Automobili Lamborghini, while also portraying the artistic sensibilities of Xerjoff.

Inside the coffret of each perfume is a leather cutting that comes directly from the Automobili Lamborghini upholstery department. A leftover piece of the creative process, it is a symbol of quality that has been repurposed for this collaboration as a prestigious souvenir.

This project was undertaken as part of Xerjoff Blends, an explorative venture in which Xerjoff collaborates with leading brands and figures from a wide range of cultural fields, bridging the gap between perfumery and other creative spheres.

Fierezza represents getting into the driver’s seat, grasping the steering wheel in hand and sensing the energy that is about to be unleashed.

The unique composition of Fierezza blends notes from opposing ends of the olfactory scale, taking the nose on a mesmerising olfactory journey that leads in a myriad of directions.

Pink pepper leaves a piquant trail for fresh incense to follow, as floral notes of frangipani and geranium bloom at the heart. Marine nuances are woven into the scent, which owes its leathery tones to myrrh at the base, as suede provides depth

Avanguardia embodies the rush of adrenaline, the roar of the engine and the raw power felt as the world outside flies by.

Avanguardia’s determined character is evident from the very beginning, as davana accentuates the depth and juiciness of its cherry top note. At its heart, the powerful presence of fractionated patchouli oil is this perfume’s driving force.

It captivates the senses with its enduring woody, patchouli-like scent, as the leathery nuances and subtly powdered touch of the black violet accord alongside it provide balance, while styrax and tonka bean anchor the perfume at the base.

Perseveranza is the arrival at the destination, the culmination of the emotion lived and the afterglow of this sensory awakening.

Ginger and cedrat combine in the opening of Perseveranza to create a brightness tinged with citrus and spice, as elemi freshens the scent at the heart. Cloves add to the early spiciness and warm the composition, while dry vetiver and leathery styrax infuse the perfume with a smoky quality.

The base notes of Perseveranza hold strong and come into their own with the passing of time, with tonka bean giving the scent a roundness and cistus oil imbuing it with ambery accents.
