Smells like a mango has to still go to work but is not feeling well. Decent sillage and longevity overall but it just seems at the end of each sniff there’s something odd kinda off putting at the end of the mango. I personally would choose Love Delight by Amouage or better yet Astrum Nova by Electimuss over this.
I’ve been intrigued by the Xerjoff house for a minute now. So, I thought the much hyped Erba Pura fragrance would be a suitable starting point. This scent was not quite what I expected. It’s heavy on the fruit, right off the bat. I don’t pick up the citrus components in the profile, nor the vanilla. Upon applying, you get the sense that you are simply drowned in a can of fruit cocktail. The scent reminds me 100% of the fruity body sprays that girls loved in junior high. That’s all I pick up from this fragrance. I feel like a Barbie doll wearing it, as I’m a bit more on the masculine nature. I can’t pull it off. However, this is a very nice scent, and it’s perfect for the female demographic. I could easily rate this a 5 star for female. But, as a male, this is a 3 star scent at best. So, I split the difference. The projection and longevity are fantastic. Ladies, this one is perfect for you, if you are a fruity scent lover. Men, consider an alternative Xerjoff fragrance like Naxos.
Overall Smell Rating: 5/5 - I love this citrusy, sweet, youthful scent. It's addicting to me personally and my girlfriend loves it. The youthful/sweetness isn't for everyone though.
Price/Value 3/5: A bit overpriced
Sillage 5/5: strong trail
Longevity 4/5: I get about 5-6 hours
Nice, beautiful fruity mix, really fresh but not so extraordinary. There is A LOT OF fruity scents out there. Quite weak performance and because of the weak performance this would be good to use at the gym. Anyway I choose to buy FB of Tiziana Terenzi Kirke instead of Erba Pura. Kirke is like deeper and finished version of Erba Pura and would be beautiful during the summertime. But if you like fruity scents, you should try this because I think it’s worth the price anyway if compared to some synthetic ones.
