Try Oesel at your own pace
Oesel is a perfume from Xerjoff. Our data holds its name and its house, not its notes, and we leave it at that. A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

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!
On the skin
You will not find top, heart and base notes for Xerjoff Oesel here. They are not on record with us, and guessing is not how we write these pages. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
The status of Oesel is on request, so the sizes are not open yet. Tell us through the form on this page that you want it, without any obligation. Give it time to settle before you judge it. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
A decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For Oesel that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. Pick the small vial if you only want to know whether you like it, and a larger one if you want to live with it for a while.
Testing it
Nothing on record ties Oesel to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Try it once at home and once outdoors, since air and temperature change the impression. Test it on skin and not only on paper.
We hold no data on who Oesel is meant for, so we do not label it. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one.
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. We decant from the original bottle and label the vial ourselves. Xerjoff does not make or endorse these samples; it is not an official brand sample.
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.

Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Xerjoff Oesel 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.
No note list is on record with us for Xerjoff Oesel, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps Oesel as it was when we filled it.
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.
