Xerjoff Esquel Sample
A few wearings of Esquel, then decide
On this page you find Xerjoff Esquel, a perfume, as a decant. A note pyramid is not on file here, so this page makes no claims about how it should come across. A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
No pyramid here
The notes of Esquel are not in our files. That is not a judgement about the perfume, only about what we can state with certainty. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
-
Not on the shelf yet
Xerjoff Esquel is listed so that you can ask for it. Send the form on this page and your interest is noted; we do not name a date. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.

About the decant
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Esquel from the original bottle and fills a glass spray vial with it. The label on the vial is ours. 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
There is no recorded season for Esquel. Begin on an ordinary day and take it from there. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Test it on skin and not only on paper.
Who it is for
For Xerjoff Esquel no target wearer is recorded here. Collectors use decants to explore widely without filling a shelf. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first.
Why try Xerjoff Esquel as a sample first
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. Xerjoff is not involved, and it is not an official brand sample.

Frequently asked
Is this the same perfume as the full bottle?
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Xerjoff Esquel and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Xerjoff Esquel, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
How should I keep the vial?
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps Esquel as it was when we filled it.
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.
