A few wearings of Amber Star, then decide
This is Xerjoff Amber Star, a perfume by Xerjoff, offered here as a sample. What it contains is not on record with us, so the description stops at the facts we have. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.

On the skin
There is no pyramid on this page for Xerjoff Amber Star, because none is on record in our data. What it does on skin is for you to find out. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.
The status of Amber Star is on request. That is an honest way of saying it is on our list but not yet in a vial. The form on this page is where you raise your hand. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.
Your sample of Xerjoff Amber Star is a decant: the perfume is taken from the original bottle by FragranceGems and filled into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml. The vial carries our own label. A spray vial lets you apply it the way you would from the bottle, which a dab-on tube does not.
Testing it
Our data does not say whether Xerjoff Amber Star is meant for warm or cold days, so test it in both if you can. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Test it on skin and not only on paper.
Our record does not say for whom Xerjoff Amber Star was made. If you already know the house, a decant lets you check whether this one fits next to what you own. If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving.
Choosing a bottle unsmelled is a gamble, and a decant takes the gamble out of it. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Amber Star the way you normally would.
No note list is on record with us for Xerjoff Amber Star, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Yes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.
The brand
Xerjoff was founded in Turin in 2007 by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo and describes its own approach as artistic, maximalist and opulent: every scent a work of art inside another work of art. The range is organised in collections, from 1861, which marks the unification of Italy, to Join The Club, whose notes are kept secret. With perfumes this rich, and some whose notes are not disclosed at all, a 10 ml decant is the sensible first step.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
