What people who wear Xerjoff Erba Pura report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community. Created by Christian Carbonnel and Laura Santander.
Listed as Unisex
“Erba Pura stands out with its blend of fruity and orange notes, giving it a slightly different character compared to many other fragrances. The opening is clearly orange-forward, followed by a mixed fruity sweetness. For a fruit-focused scent, it sits a bit on the expensive side, so I wouldn’t strongly recommend it from a price perspective. Its longevity is average on my skin.Overall, it’s a pleasant fragrance, but considering the price, there are alternatives that may offer better value.”
“Fruity, nothing outstanding, generic, to be honest, may be the candied fruits I sense which doesnt result in that juicy summer composition as I would hope so. Overall, fruity lovers should consider Erba Gold rather Erba Pura. Sure, opening is bright and rich, but it doesnt define the smell after an hour, opening has to hook you, daze you, drug you. That bright and rich opening settles down a little quite fast and I'll see hows the drydown of Erba Pura, but Im quite unbothered by this composition.”
“I don't understand the hate for this scent, sweet and airy with an extremely satisfying to smell drydown. Perfect during the warmer days of the year for both men and women. Soft and not at all synthetic in my opinion, only downside for me is that for such a hefty price the composition is way too simple and lacks the depth in complexity that other niche houses tend to have in similar price points.”
