A few wearings of Elle, then decide
Xerjoff makes Elle, a perfume you can get to know here in a small vial. There is no recorded pyramid on this page, because we only print notes we can trace. 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
For Xerjoff Elle no note list is on record with us. We only print notes we can trace to a source, so this page names none; wear it and judge. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
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 Elle, and we note it. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
The decant holds the same liquid as the full bottle of Xerjoff Elle, moved into a small glass spray vial by FragranceGems and labelled by us. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings. Three sizes mean you decide how long you want to test.
Testing it
For Xerjoff Elle we hold no season or occasion data, so try it in more than one setting. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather.
We hold no data on who Elle is meant for, so we do not label it. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first.
Choosing a bottle unsmelled is a gamble, and a decant takes the gamble out of it. Filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle, labelled by us: a decant, not an official brand sample. We are not affiliated with Xerjoff.
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.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Elle from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Xerjoff Elle, 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.
