Which Should You Buy?
Juicy, radiant, and impossible to ignore, Erba Pura is a powerfully sweet fruity-citrus bomb with a velvety musky base. Not for the shy, it's a statement scent for those who love to dazzle and stand out.
Tropical Aura leans on the same juicy tropical-fruit-and-vanilla formula as Xerjoff Erba Pura, delivering the vacation-in-a-bottle vibe convincingly up top but with a thinner, less creamy vanilla-amber base that fades faster than the original's all-day performance.

Performance

Occasions
