Avanguardia by Xerjoff is a dark, resinous take on cherry and rose, built for cooler evenings. Cherry, mandarin and davana open it sweet and lightly spiced, with a tart edge. Black violet, patchouli and rose geranium carry the heart, dusky rather than soft. Olibanum, tonka bean and styrax settle underneath, warm and faintly smoky at the close. New for 2026, it suits men and women alike who are drawn to a fruit-and-resin scent with real depth. Autumn, winter and spring bring out the strongest votes, mostly for evening wear. Its longevity vote tips toward long-lasting, and sillage lands clearly on strong, so it carries. A 3ml decant is a good way to spend a run of cold evenings with it before deciding on more.

The house
More from Xerjoff
Xerjoff is a Turin house, started in 2007 by Sergio Momo to make perfume with the richness of Italian design: dense, golden and unashamedly sweet. Most of the range sits in warm territory, with vanilla, amber and tonka bean underneath and saffron, cinnamon or cardamom for heat. A bright streak of bergamot keeps several of them from feeling heavy. Begin with XJ 1861 Naxos, where lavender meets honey over a sweet vanilla base. Erba Pura is the sunny one, a juicy fruit-and-citrus blend, and Lira turns citrus into something close to caramel. For a greener side of the house, try Torino21, fresh with aromatic herbs. Alexandria II shows the darker, woodier face, all amber and powder. Wear a few side by side and you will soon find which Xerjoff mood is yours.
