An incense amber with a Roman soul, Zefiro opens in luminous spice and resin, then deepens into a honeyed glow of warm woods and churchlike smoke, evoking dusky cobblestones, open chapel doors, and citrus trees under a late summer sky. Inspired by the Mediterranean westerly wind that lends the scent its name, it reads opulent yet wearable, elegant yet unmistakably evocative.

Story and Positioning
Zefiro sits within Xerjoff’s 1861 collection, a series created to honor Italian heritage and the spirit of Made in Italy. The brand frames it as an amber incense that captures the wonder of the Eternal City, from orange-lined streets to curling plumes of sacred smoke. If you enjoy refined incense and amber with polished spice, Zefiro occupies a similar mood.
Bottle and Design
The 1861 flacon presents Zefiro in a sculpted glass bottle with a soft frosted finish that lets the golden juice glow, crowned by a satin gold cap with an engraved Xerjoff collar. A central gilded plaque bearing the X emblem and an Italian tricolor 1861 crest completes a presentation that nods to artisanal Italian craftsmanship and the collection’s national tribute.
