Citrus, melon and spice with youthful energy
Xerjoff describes Erba Gold as playful, vibrant and magnetic, with an inviting tropical sweetness and the youthful energy of an adventure in an unfamiliar place. It keeps the citrus opening of Erba Pura and adds green apple and melon in the heart. Sweet fruit perfumes can swing either way on skin, so a 10 ml decant is a measured first step.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Citrus from named places
Amalfi lemon, Brazilian orange, Calabrian bergamot and ginger open the scent. The three citrus fruits give a bright, juicy start, and ginger adds a warm, dry spark. The brand names the origins, which fits the idea of travel and gives the opening a sunny, open feel.
-
Green apple, melon and pear
The heart brings cloves, green apple, Guatemalan cardamom, melon and pear. Apple is crisp, melon watery and sweet, and pear soft and juicy. Cloves and cardamom add an aromatic, spicy edge so that the heart is more than a bowl of fruit.
-
Amber, vanilla and woods
Amber, Madagascar vanilla, musk and woody notes close the scent. The base is soft rather than syrupy: amber for glow, vanilla for gentle sweetness, musk for cleanliness, and woody notes for a little dryness. It lets the fruit fade without a sudden stop.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Try it on a warm day or a relaxed evening, two or three sprays on clean skin. Notice how the melon and apple balance against the cardamom and cloves once the opening has passed. Then wear it once more indoors, to see whether the sweetness feels cheerful or too much for you.
Who it is for
People who like bright, fruity and slightly spiced perfumes with a sunny, holiday mood. It is listed as unisex. The brand speaks of youthful energy, but nothing in the notes ties it to an age. If you prefer dry, dark or quiet scents, expect something livelier.
Why try Xerjoff Erba Gold as a sample first
The brand's tropical sweetness and the melon and apple heart are very specific, and not everyone enjoys fruit in a perfume. Ginger, cloves and cardamom change how sweet it feels from skin to skin. A decant of ten millilitres lets you judge that over several warm days before 100 ml.

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.
