Xerjoff Shunkoin Sample
A few wearings of Shunkoin, then decide
Xerjoff makes Shunkoin, a perfume you can get to know here in a small vial. What it contains is not on record with us, so the description stops at the facts we have. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.

Notes: not on file
No note list is on record for Xerjoff Shunkoin; wear it and judge. We would rather give you a clean sample than a description we cannot stand behind. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
-
How on request works
This sample is listed on request, which means it is not filled yet. Use the form on this page to let us know you would like Shunkoin, and we note it. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
-
In the vial
We fill Shunkoin from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and label it ourselves. The sizes are 2, 5 or 10 ml. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes. Three sizes mean you decide how long you want to test.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Nothing on record ties Shunkoin to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day.
Who it is for
Whether Xerjoff Shunkoin is marketed to men, women or everyone is not in our record; wear it if you enjoy it. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week.
Why try Xerjoff Shunkoin as a sample first
A sample of Shunkoin answers the two things that matter: whether you like it, and whether you still like it on the fifth wearing. To be clear, this is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants it from the original bottle and puts its own label on the vial; Xerjoff plays no role.

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 Shunkoin the way you normally would.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Xerjoff Shunkoin, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Which size should I choose?
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of Shunkoin; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.
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.
