Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chef d’Oeuvre Extrait
A beast of a budget summer gourmand, Chef d'Oeuvre offers incredible value and stellar performance. It's an undisputed dupe that many rate above the original, though it might be a bit much for some in the heat.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Philos Pura Eau de Parfum
A divisive clone that captures the Erba Pura spirit for a fraction of the price. If you’re into loud, fruity-sweet scents with beastly performance, you’ll love it. If you're put off by a strong musky dry-down, steer clear and save your cash for the real deal.

Spring Summer Autumn

Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions
