Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Erba Pura EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Mystical Water EDP
Mystical Water chases Sospiro Erba Pura Magica - the richer, caramel-laced take on the fruity Erba Pura formula. The dupe captures the juicy-fruit-meets-warm-caramel character but renders flatter and softer-projecting than the strong original.
