The Scoop
Shaghaf Oud Ahmar is a fundamentally different fragrance that shares minimal DNA with Erba Pura beyond basic citrus top notes. While Erba Pura is a clean, herbaceous green fragrance with a dry woody base, Shaghaf Oud Ahmar pivots dramatically toward a rich, oud-forward oriental composition with spice and amber. This is not a clone but rather a distant interpretation that diverges significantly in character and projection.
Key Differences
Erba Pura is a light, fresh herbal fragrance dominated by grass and green notes, while Shaghaf Oud Ahmar is a heavy, oud-centric oriental with minimal herbal elements. The longevity, sillage, and overall DNA are substantially different, making this a poor clone match.

What wearers say
“Erba Pura high quality dupe. It smells like a fruit basket but its very good quality smell. Its like a shampoo scent. Summer scent to my nose but to be honest, so far all swiss arabians that I got are weak somehow. Not beasts are some are claiming. Its okay but I have smelled better scents.Edit: Sold my bottle within 1 week.”
“FABULOUS. I bought this in Dubai last year and fell in love with it. Yes it does smell like Erba Pura but not as screechy or overpowering. Super well blended fruity scent. Very summery but I will be wearing it all seasons because I love it so much.”
“The right fragrance to get you through that work/social function when you pretend to be that smiley chirpy individual. I can’t detect oud which makes it inoffensive. Wonderful mood uplifter not only for yourself but for those around you. Less juvenile screech as in Very Good Girl and less pretty young placid thing as in a Delina. Yet similar profiles. Still fun but a lot more no nonsense. Wished it lasted longer than 4 hours on the skin but maybe that’s all the time you need to get through that corporate function. Gorgeous bottle and packaging. Amazing price! Winner.”
