Xerjoff - Decas – Eau de Parfum

Xerjoff XJ 1861 DECAS Eau de Parfum

A fragrant hymn to Italy – floral, balsamic, and timeless

DECAS marks the 10th anniversary of Xerjoff’s XJ 1861 Collection, which began in 2011 with Renaissance, Naxos, and Zefiro. Inspired by the Latin word "decas" meaning “decade,” this fragrance honors a journey through Italian culture, artistry, and unity. As with every scent in the collection, the flacon bears the colors of the Italian flag – a symbol of national pride, translated into perfume. But DECAS is not merely retrospective: it is a contemporary creation, blending radiant florals with smoky depth and resinous sensuality.

Tuberose, tobacco, resins – a multilayered opening

The composition begins with a burst of Brazilian mandarin, joined by creamy tuberose and a warm note of tobacco. What starts playful quickly turns complex: in the heart, Tuscan iris unveils its soft elegance, earthy and grounded. It is embraced by benzoin, a resin from Southeast Asia with sweet, almost caramel-like warmth, and opoponax, the so-called “sweet myrrh,” with its smoky, balsamic aura.

The base settles into something both serene and captivating: musk, Tolu balsam, and Bourbon vanilla create a foundation that feels both intimate and expansive. Tolu balsam, sourced from Myroxylon trees in South America, adds a note of warm, gently smoky vanilla. Meanwhile, opoponax reveals its full character – soft, meditative, and sensuous. The result is a perfume that balances brightness with darkness, clarity with mystery.

XJ 1861 – where Italian soul becomes scent

The XJ 1861 Collection pays homage to Italy’s unification in 1861, celebrating the country’s cultural legacy through perfume. Every bottle is handcrafted in Tuscany’s oldest glassworks and fuses classical elegance with modern expression. DECAS extends the vision of the collection: a fragrance rooted in heritage, yet alive with present-day artistry.
