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.
A dupe of Xerjoff's Erba Pura - the citrus-and-tropical-fruit brightness is a fair likeness, though it thins out faster than the original's rich, long-lasting Mediterranean sweetness.

Season and Occasion Fit

Occasions
Its bold projection and sweet, fruity character make it perfect for dates and casual outings where you want to be noticed. For the office or formal events, it can be overpowering and may not suit all professional settings.
Seasons
Bright citrus-fruit character is a natural fit for spring and summer wear.
Occasions
Fresh and easy enough for office and casual daytime wear.
