Xerjoff Birdie Sample
Meet Birdie on your own skin
On this page you find Xerjoff Birdie, a perfume, as a decant. There is no recorded pyramid on this page, because we only print notes we can trace. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Without a pyramid
We have the name and the house of Birdie, not its notes. Instead of copying a list from somewhere, we leave that part empty. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.

Asking for this sample
This sample is listed on request, which means it is not filled yet. Use the form on this page to let us know you would like Birdie, and we note it. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

What a decant is
Xerjoff Birdie comes as 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle. It is labelled by us and not by the brand. Keep the vial away from heat and direct sunlight, as you would a full bottle. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Our data does not say whether Xerjoff Birdie is meant for warm or cold days, so test it in both if you can. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day.
Who it is for
For Xerjoff Birdie no target wearer is recorded here. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it. If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving.
Why try Xerjoff Birdie as a sample first
The same perfume can be a favourite on one person and a miss on the next, which is the whole case for testing Birdie first. What you get is a decant made by FragranceGems from the original bottle, with our label. The house is not involved and it is not an official brand sample.

Frequently asked
Is this a sample made by Xerjoff?
No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Birdie from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Xerjoff Birdie, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Can I try Birdie next to other samples?
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
About Xerjoff
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.
- Turin, 2007: the house is started by Sergio Momo and Dominique Salvo
- The cap takes its shape from the Deshret, the Egyptian Red Crown
- Collections include 1861, Join The Club, Shooting Stars, Oud Stars and Blends

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!
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.
