Xerjoff’s Sketchbook collection returns in minimalist Blank Page form

Sergio Momo’s sketchbook has long served as the creative wellspring of Xerjoff, each page a meditation on scent translated into liquid form. Now, three of his most treasured compositions emerge in their most distilled incarnation: the Blank Page Editions, a collection that honours the purity of those initial sketches by stripping away the material embellishments that once dressed them.

What distinguishes these fragrances is their studied restraint. Where the original interpretations of p.13, p.18 and p.70 arrived adorned in the sumptuous presentation befitting a luxury house, these iterations return to something more immediate, more intimate. The perfumes themselves remain unchanged, yet the removal of superfluous dressing creates a different relationship with the wearer. There is something quite profound about this approach, a recognition that true luxury sometimes resides in what is absent rather than what is lavishly present.

Each fragrance carries the sophisticated olfactory architecture Xerjoff is celebrated for, compositions built with the precision of a master craftsman and the sensibility of an artist. The Blank Page Editions acknowledge those foundations whilst inviting the wearer to engage with the scents as Momo first imagined them, unencumbered by excessive material theatre.

A Return to Essential Beauty

The genesis of the Sketchbook collection lies in Momo’s practice of capturing fragrant ideas through sketching, translating visual concepts into olfactory experiences. These new editions represent a philosophical gesture, a nod toward the source material itself. By reimagining three of his most compelling creations in this minimalist context, Xerjoff demonstrates a confidence in the strength of its formulations and a respect for the intelligence of those who wear them.

This is a limited release, which means these fragrances exist within a defined temporal frame, adding urgency to their pursuit without relying on manufactured scarcity. Instead, the constraint honours the original sketchbook approach: finite pages, each one significant, each one intentional.

For those already familiar with Xerjoff’s sensibility, these Blank Page versions offer a recalibration, an opportunity to experience beloved compositions through a different lens. For newcomers to the house, they represent an entry point free from the distraction of presentation, allowing the fragrances themselves to speak with clarity and eloquence. The simplicity of their release belies the complexity of what lies within each bottle.
