Xerjoff Gran Ballo Sample
Gran Ballo by Xerjoff, as a decant
This is Xerjoff Gran Ballo, a perfume by Xerjoff, offered here as a sample. Our data holds its name and its house, not its notes, and we leave it at that. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
An honest gap
The notes of Gran Ballo are not in our files. That is not a judgement about the perfume, only about what we can state with certainty. Give it time to settle before you judge it. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
-
Not on the shelf yet
The status of Gran Ballo is on request. That is an honest way of saying it is on our list but not yet in a vial. The form on this page is where you raise your hand. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.
-
Small size, same perfume
A decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For Gran Ballo that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. 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
For Xerjoff Gran Ballo we hold no season or occasion data, so try it in more than one setting. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes.
Who it is for
For Xerjoff Gran Ballo no target wearer is recorded here. If Xerjoff is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag.
Why try Xerjoff Gran Ballo as a sample first
Choosing a bottle unsmelled is a gamble, and a decant takes the gamble out of it. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house.

Frequently asked
What does the sample look like?
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 Gran Ballo the way you normally would.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Xerjoff Gran Ballo, 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 Gran Ballo 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.
