This one's a proper fruit bomb, so beware: it's not shy. Erba Gold doubles down on tropical sweetness, moving beyond Erba Pura's sharp tang. It's divisive - some find it an addictive, mass-appealing summer banger; others, a synthetic headache in a bottle. Sample it first if you don't fancy choking out your mates.

Golden Herb chases Xerjoff Erba Gold, the sparkling fruity-citrus vanilla bomb. The juicy citrus-and-fruit opening with its spicy heart over creamy vanilla comes through, but Perfume Parlour's version reads a touch more synthetic and lacks the textured richness and projection of the Xerjoff.
