An independent fragrance haus, driven by memory & love.
Some things stay with us long after the moment has passed. A place, a feeling, a familiar embrace. Sometimes, all it takes is a scent to bring it all back.
XO Atelier was founded around this very idea: that fragrance is more than an accessory. It is an expression of identity, an extension of emotion, and a way of holding on to the moments that make us who we are.
Founded by perfumer and creative director Elijah Agurto, XO Atelier is an independent fragrance house exploring the relationship between scent, memory, and human connection. Each composition begins with a feeling, an inspiration, or a world waiting to be translated into fragrance.
Our name reflects the heart of everything we do. XO, a universal expression of hugs and kisses, represents affection, intimacy, and the connections that stay with us. Atelier, meaning studio or workshop in French, speaks to the artistry of creation. Together, they embody our approach to perfumery: personal in meaning, intentional in composition, and expressive in character.
We are drawn to the unexpected. The sweetness of a memory, the atmosphere of a distant summer, the comfort of something familiar, and the beauty of something entirely new. Our compositions move between these worlds, bringing together distinctive accords and unexpected contrasts to create fragrances with a character of their own.
We believe fragrance should be personal. It should feel like you, become part of your presence, and leave something behind without ever having to say a word.
Because the most beautiful fragrance isn't necessarily the one everyone notices when you arrive. It's the one someone remembers after you've gone.
This is XO Atelier.
Driven by memory & love.
I love you forever.
