Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Philos Pura
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.

Our Verdict - Royale
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, clean, fruity everyday scent, while others get a rather 'fatty' lady vibe. It's safe, but decidedly divisive.

Best For:

Casual
This scent is a powerhouse with insane projection, making it too loud for office wear. Its sweet and fruity character is perfect for casual outings and dates, but potentially too playful for formal events. The strong sillage means even for sport, it might be a bit much.

Its clean and inoffensive character makes it a strong contender for office and casual wear, as noted by community reviews. The dominant fruity and sweet accords, however, make it less suitable for formal settings.
