XERJOFF BLENDS
DURAN DURAN
Duran Duran’s unique musical identity is reflected in the
two latest additions to the Xerjoff Blends collection
Duran Duran have constantly evolved throughout their long and successful musical career, never bound by the constraints of any one particular genre. In an extension of that attitude, the four members of Duran Duran – Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor – collaborated closely with Xerjoff founder, Sergio Momo, to create two new unisex scents, NeoRio and Black Moonlight.
Crafted over many months and developed across several continents, their shared passion for pushing boundaries shaped every aspect of the perfumes, from the scents themselves to the artistry of their design and packaging.
In NeoRio, past, present and future collide in a perfume as magnetic and unpredictable as the band itself. A rich, timeless scent, it mirrors Duran Duran’s ability to blend art, innovation and emotion. Black Moonlight is inspired by the band’s darker side – an homage to the eerie and mysterious world that they so often explore through their music and videos, with a scent that oozes intrigue and sensuality.
“During the creation of these perfumes, we realised we were striving to achieve similar criteria as we do when writing songs, ultimately aiming for something seductive, unique and irresistible. Xerjoff was the perfect partner for this collaboration, as we already admired their artistry and innovation. “
- Nick Rhodes, Duran Duran keyboardist.

TONY IOMMI DEIFIED
Presenting the brand new perfume, soundtrack and music video with Tony Iommi for the latest collaboration from the Xerjoff Blends collection.
Tony Iommi and Xerjoff launch the second chapter of the Xerjoff Blends venture, with the release of Deified, the brand new perfume, accompanied by a new track of the same name written by Tony Iommi together with a mind-blowing music video, directed by Donato Sansone.
A forceful combination of multisensory elements that play on the palindromic nature of sound, scent and sensorial sequences see the theme of back and forth in the music, scent and video. Tony Iommi Deified is the second perfume to be created by the duo after a huge success with the first Xerjoff Blends perfume created together, Monkey Special.
Deified, the new track written by Tony Iommi and produced by Iommi and Mike Exeter, is a heavy and mysterious masterpiece that, like the scent, possesses the mind in a dark and decadent vortex of mystery and wonder.
In an animated music video starring Tony Iommi and Sergio Momo, directed and animated by Donato Sansone, Deified’s concept is given strength and delivers a powerful message that implies a theme that continually repeats itself throughout history.

GROOVE XCAPE
Another chapter of Xerjoff Blends reveals the celestial side of sound and scent, a multisensorial journey that invites the wearer to embark on this unique journey.
Max Casacci is a musician, producer, sound engineer, experimenter, and co-founder of one of the most important bands in Italian music of the past decades, Turinese group Subsonica.
Sergio Momo and Max Casacci came together to create a new chapter of the Xerjoff Blends Collection with the Groove Xcape perfume, accompanied by an original track and video. Max Casacci is known for having created works of music solely through the various sounds of our surroundings, from the noise of nature to the urban grooves of the city. Sergio Momo and Max Casacci worked together to transform a sound into a scent, and consequently create a vision with the collaboration of the creative mind of Donato Sansone with a new video.
The Groove Xcape perfume gets its name from Casacci’s latest album, Urban Groovescapes (Earthphonia II), which features the track Groove X-capes (An XJ Perfume flacon).The closing of the Xerjoff box sets the beat, while the collision of flacons and the swirling of liquid are manipulated to create the groove.
The Groove Xcape perfume mimics the sound of the track, with metallic top notes and mystical heart notes of incense and myrrh, a nod to the ethereal state many find themselves in through the hypnotic rhythm of music.

More than just a perfume collection, Xerjoff Blends is a journey which transports the wearer into a multisensorial universe.Xerjoff Blends creates a space for sensory projects that breaks ordinary social patterns and aims at a new equality.

New and unique experiences are created with each perfume that is born into the Xerjoff Blends Collection, opening doors to endless pursuits including music, cuisine, architecture and art to name a few.
The first Xerjoff Blends venture begins with Xerjoff Blends Rock Edition for Tony Iommi, which sees the Black Sabbath legendary guitarist unify his monolithic riffs with Xerjoff's esteemed expertise to create the first multisensorial interaction primarily between music and perfume in an unexpected and unique olfactory venture.
Xerjoff Blends Rock Edition is what rock 'n' roll in the late '60s was for Iommi, and is accompanied by the gothic notes of the track Scent of Dark, written by Tony Iommi, featuring Sergio Momo on guitar.

TONY IOMMI
Xerjoff pays homage to Tony’s Italian roots with tantalising top notes of bergamot from Reggio Calabria, rum, Bulgarian Geranium and passion fruit, opening to cinnamon, Bulgarian rose and patchouli at the heart. Australian sandalwood, ambergris, vanilla, Tonka bean, caramel and musk are at the base, rounding off this olfactory journey in a luxuriously sleek and gothic bottle, available online and in selected retails.
With Sergio we went over several perfume variations, we tried really hard to reach the complexity I was looking for. The final result harmoniously characterises the dark sound of my original ‘64 Monkey Special’ guitar with spicy, seductive, and rebellious accents paired with leathery accords.
