Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Erba Pura
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Pure Water
Pure Water chases Sospiro Erba Pura - the juicy fruity-citrus crowd-pleaser with a warm vanilla-amber-musk drydown. The dupe captures the bright, sweet, summery character but renders flatter and softer-projecting than the famously strong-performing original.
