Are any Xerjoff frags worth the price?

[OctaVariuM]

I know this is a highly subjective subject, but what do you all think of Xerjoff fragrances related to price? I've been looking at several, but even the cheaper ones are $265 for $50 mL, which seems steep to me.

I've never smelled any of them, so should I bother? 1861 has interested me in the past, as well as Kobe/Nio/Uden.

There are some fragrances i would never buy, regardless of how good they are, due to their price. As a result, i don't see the point in buying samples of them. Xerjoff is one of those. But it depends on your wallet.

[Jack Hunter]

Though the price they charge is way to expensive they do use top notch ingredients like in 1861. I just have not as yet found any I want to purchase.

Though saying that they have just released a whole new range of frags at more reasonable prices. Check them out here:

Not in my opinion.

[kocy]

Al-Khatt and Zafar are very nice, but you would rather buy the discovery set instead of a bottle, I think

[cacio]

I loved Irisss (with three sss) - a big hissy iris. But the price is unreasonable. Still - who knows. I have, after all, bought a couple of JAR.

No not really worth the price in my opinion. I like some of their fragrances and own a couple. Their high prices tell me they are still in the "artisanal - baby steps - experimentation phase" of their fragrance enterprise. At some point they will realize that its time to get out on the street and get serious.

[Diamondflame]

Their discovery set is worth every penny imo.

[Orgoglio italianO]

Discovery set's and samples are the way to go all the Xerjoff frags IMHO have great throw and great longevity. They will last awhile u don't need much.

[JiveHippo]

They make some very nice scents. They last forever, and are very high quality, plus the bottles are gorgeous. Some of my favs of the ones I've sampled are Kobe, Uden, Mefisto, and Malmuk, but I also cannot justify the price. I did come very close on a bottle of Kobe once, but decided against it last minute.

[sjg3839]

No way!

[knightowl]

This will sound juvenile, but the name "Xerjoff" always makes me chuckle...don't know why .

[starshipvelcro]

1861 is fantastic and worth it, though I haven't tried much of the line.

[cacio]

In Italian, the somewhat silly name sounds unmistakeably close to the name Sergio.

[Akahina]

Not at their prices! I would be tempted by the aoud stars collection but it seems to be unavailable.

[bgoc]

1861 appears to be pretty reasonable in pricing. Around US$230 for 100ml bottle which I think is similar to Amouage etc

[dianabi]

Firstinfragrance has the Join The Club line already. Feels like they are too many and trying too hard to please.
And I'd choose Amouage over X any second.

[bgoc]

Oud Stars discovery set is available at Xerjoff.com

[hednic]

For me personally - none.

[Gamma]

Hard to say. Kobe is very nice, but I think it would be more appropriately priced around $100 less than they're asking. At $265 for 50ml you really have to love the fragrance.

[SculptureOfSoul]

They are outpacing Bond #9 with their releases. Fragrantica shows 52 Xerjoffs in their database already... in what, like, 3 years?

[alfarom]

In Italian, the somewhat silly name sounds unmistakeably close to the name Sergio.

cacio

Yep, hence the name of the owner: Sergio Momo

[Kron]

1861, Kobe, Richwood, Al-Khatt, Zafar I enjoy alot. Whether they are worth the money is as always dependent on what you're budget is.

I think most people would be satisfied with 10-20ml of each as they have excellent longevity and don't need heavy application.

[dnc]

Only tried two - Zhafar and Gao. Would certainly be tempted by one of these once my decants run out. As Kron implies though, maybe further decants are in order; hell my current decants will probably last me anyway.......

In conclusion, they are 'worth' the price IMO as they are incredible fragrances. I would not complain however, if they halved their prices.

[Jardanel]

This will sound juvenile, but the name "Xerjoff" always makes me chuckle...don't know why .

I know! I'm so glad they don't have a circle anywhere in their insignia.

[Partario]

At first when I tried some of the shooting stars, I sort of laughed them off, as they didn't smell "niche" enough, and I thought they were just sort of a cash grab (which they probably are). But like others have said, they are made of high quality stuff, and they do project and last FOREVER. I got a tiny bit from my neck on my shirt collar, and that stuff survived the washing machine, and I could still smell it after it had been washed.

Uden is nice, and the more I've worn the sample I have, the more I've been considering the possibility of maybe going in for a FB someday.

If it's worth the money or not, as echoed before, is quite subjective.

[hedonist222]

Some are and some aren't.

I liked Kobe very much.

On top in terms of quality. Feels like smelling a real orange blossom.

[OctaVariuM]

I was pretty disappointed with 1861. Everyone says it smells so natural, but I just don't get it. It gave the people around me legitimate headaches as well, so that's a no-go.

[Oupavoc]

imo it depends on which fragrance...they do have some great ones in their line. They use top notch ingredient and the presentation is beautiful...

[Dernier_Cri]

The ouds are certainly worth trying if only because they are interesting well balanced compositions. If you find
something that really suits you then the money issue is one you have to determine. I was always very impressed with GAO,
but it's strong stuff, not for the faint-hearted. Sometimes these day I get a Comet cleanser note from GAO. Once an impression
like that gets in your head it's hard to shake.
