Can we stop following the hype?
Xerjoff is a great fragrance house and I love (almost) all of their creations.
The Erba Pura unfortunately belongs to the "almost" category.
It comes without a case, but with more affordable packaging.
It is part of the Velvet Collection and therefore comes in a velvet bottle. At first glance, it looks quite nice, but the velvet can peel off with use and become greasy. As far as I know, Erba Pura will also be released in a lacquered bottle in the future.
Erba Pura starts with a load of synthetic fruits. You can't really smell anything. Maybe peach? Maybe tropical fruits? Sweet orange? I don't know. Then there is an extreme sweetness that really reminds me of a fruit cocktail.
The fragrance is also very powdery. It has something oppressive about it and is pretty much the opposite of subtle.
For me, the fragrance is boring. It has no twist, no unique selling point, no special note. It is sweet and shrill and will therefore certainly appeal to many in the younger generation who also prefer fragrances of this type in the designer sector.
The fragrance itself is probably the epitome of beast fashion. The fragrance fills rooms, it is loud and flashy and everyone will notice that you are wearing it.
It lasts forever and has extreme sillage.
Whether you want all that with this fragrance is questionable, however...
I myself steer clear of Erba Pura... it's nothing for me.

Dolce Vita - With a mojito in your hand on the Amalfi Coast
The fragrance starts with a beautiful mint in combination with lime juice and a subtle sweetness
Now and then a fresh grapefruit flashes up. White flowers combine with sweet tea.
After a while, the grapefruit...
