Apollonia by Xerjoff, as a decant
Xerjoff makes Apollonia, a perfume you can get to know here in a small vial. What it contains is not on record with us, so the description stops at the facts we have. With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
On the skin
There is no pyramid on this page for Xerjoff Apollonia, 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. Give it time to settle before you judge it.
On request means we do not have Xerjoff Apollonia ready to decant at this moment. Your message through the form on this page tells us there is interest; we promise no date. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.
The sample is made by hand: Xerjoff Apollonia goes from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, which we then label. Pick the small vial if you only want to know whether you like it, and a larger one if you want to live with it for a while.
Testing it
No season or occasion is on record for Apollonia, so let your own days decide. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby.
No audience is on record for Xerjoff Apollonia, and a perfume does not check who wears it anyway. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you. If Xerjoff is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted.
Trying before owning saves shelf space and regret. We decant from the original bottle and label the vial ourselves. Xerjoff does not make or endorse these samples; it is not an official brand sample. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
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.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
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 Apollonia the way you normally would.
No note list is on record with us for Xerjoff Apollonia, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of Apollonia; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.
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.
