Xerjoff Hayat Sample
Try Hayat at your own pace
Xerjoff Hayat is a perfume from the Xerjoff line-up. 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. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
No pyramid here
You will not find top, heart and base notes for Xerjoff Hayat here. They are not on record with us, and guessing is not how we write these pages. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
-
How on request works
Hayat is not on the shelf as a sample yet. Leave your e-mail address in the form on this page and we know someone is waiting for it. When it can be filled, the sizes appear here. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.
-
In the vial
Xerjoff Hayat 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. Because it is a spray, the perfume spreads on skin the same way it would from the bottle.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
We have no tags that say when Xerjoff Hayat fits best, which leaves the choice to you. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby.
Who it is for
Who Hayat is aimed at is not on record with us. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week. If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one.
Why try Xerjoff Hayat as a sample first
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. It is our own decant from the original bottle, labelled by us. This is not an official brand sample and the house is not involved.

Frequently asked
Is this the same perfume as the full bottle?
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Xerjoff Hayat 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 Hayat, 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 Hayat 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.
