Xerjoff Torino22: Niche Perfumery with Purpose

Niche houses operate by different rules. Where designer perfumery chases broad appeal, a house like Xerjoff pursues a specific vision — and Torino22 is a clear expression of that philosophy. A EDP built on Aromatic, Woody, Green, Fresh Spicy, Leather, composed by Chris Maurice, it offers something mainstream perfumery rarely delivers: genuine singularity at a price that still makes sense for the Pakistani and Gulf markets.

A sophisticated and invigorating fragrance that blends fresh aromatics with warm woods, designed for the ATP Finals.

How Torino22 Smells: Notes & Development

Torino22 opens with Saffron, Bergamot and Eucalyptus — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Mate, Guaiac Wood and Cassis. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Musk and Amberwood.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Aromatic, Woody, Green, Fresh Spicy, Leather — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.

Performance: Longevity, Sillage & Versatility

Longevity (9/10): Torino22 delivers exceptional longevity for EDP. On most skin types expect 12+ hours. A single morning application typically carries through well into the evening without reinforcement.

Sillage (8/10): Torino22 projects as a confident aura, detectable by those nearby. One or two sprays is all that is needed — over-application will overpower rather than impress.

Value (7/10): Pricing at PKR 60,000 feels appropriate for what you get — neither a bargain nor an overreach.
