Duran Duran reveal perfume collaboration with Xerjoff
Duran Duran with Sergio Momo in London

Duran Duran have formed a unlikely creative alliance with luxury perfume house Xerjoff. The unique collaboration has resulted in two new unisex scents called ‘NeoRio’ and ‘Black Moonlight’.

“Xerjoff was the perfect partner for this collaboration,” offered Nick Rhodes, “as we already admired their artistry and innovation. Our journey together resulted in two new fragrances, each reflecting a different side of Duran Duran. We could not be more thrilled with the results.”

Crafted over many months and developed across several continents, Xerjoff founder, Sergio Momo, said: “Duran Duran have shaped music and style for over four decades, making them the perfect partners. Their innovative spirit helped inspire every element of this project, from the scent to the packaging. Both scents embody the essence of Xerjoff Blends – where artistic visions unite to create a truly unique, multisensory experience. Collaborating with the band members on every detail of this project has been a very special experience.”

Innovative Spirit

‘Black Moonlight’ is inspired by the band’s darker side – an homage to the eerie and mysterious world that they so often explore through their music and videos. While the bold and captivating ‘NeoRio’ is a testament to their ever-evolving spirit.

Both perfumes feature Simon Le Bon’s handwritten signature on the flacon and perfume coffret.

“As a band, we have always been interested in arousing people’s senses, primarily through sound and vision,” added Rhodes. “The notion of engaging an additional sense in our universe was hugely appealing. During the creation of these perfumes, we realised we were striving to achieve similar criteria as we do when writing songs, ultimately aiming for something seductive, unique, and irresistible.”

The Xerjoff/Duran Duran collaboration coincides with the group’s eagerly anticipated summer European tour, where they will perform in stadiums and arenas across the UK, Ireland, Finland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, Germany, and Spain, from June through early July.
