Inspired by the shared values of avant-garde creativity, a visionary approach to excellence and a deep reverence for quality raw materials and craftsmanship, Sergio Momo, founder of Xerjoff, and Yannick Alléno, the most Michelin-starred chef in the world, have crafted an experience where high perfumery and haute cuisine meet and elevate each other.

Saveurs Olfactives is a dining experience that celebrates the deep connection between taste and scent, merging the two most evocative senses with the aim of transmitting the essence of a city.

Over the course of several months, Chef Alléno and Momo met in both Turin and Paris to explore how fragrance and flavour could narrate the soul of a city. Five cities were selected, each home to one of Alléno’s restaurants: Paris, London, Monte Carlo, Seoul and Dubai. For each, they chose a signature scent to inspire a dish, making each stop on the journey a unique chapter in this evolving sensory story.

At the heart of this adventure is a unique fusion — a dish inspired by a Xerjoff scent, accompanied by an olfactory ritual. The inaugural creation, served in Paris, features an exquisite dish of white asparagus cooked in cardamom and black lemon-infused milk, orange blossom milk foam and toasted almond petals.

The dish is delicately paired with an adapted version of Xerjoff’s p.33 perfume — renamed p.33 x YA for the occasion — which sees a gentle touch of sage introduced to the blend.The scent is inhaled via a ceramic cloche prior to commencing the meal, allowing the aroma to unlock the full complexity of the flavours.

p.33 x YA is a sophisticated composition that embodies passion, creativity and refinement — qualities that mirror both the city of Paris and the modern cuisine of Chef Alléno. Exclusively available as part of the Saveurs Olfactives experience, the fragrance is designed to evoke the soul of Paris, just as the chef’s dishes are conceived to narrate a story of terroir, memory and modernity.

“Cooking is not only about taste — it’s about emotion, memory and identity. Working with scent adds a powerful new dimension to how a dish can be experienced.” Yannick Alléno
