After purchasing Purple Accento, I was initially a bit shocked. Did Xerjoff really fill Erba Pura into the Purple Accento bottle?!
Well, I left it on for an hour to see how it develops, and to my surprise: ERBA PURA.
So far so bad... but after about, let's say, 3 hours, something else did come through: a fine subtle Oud note that really shifts the fragrance into a positive direction. The distinctly noticeable pepper also does it good.
Since the longevity lasts about 18 hours on my skin, I can tolerate the initial 3 hours of pure Erba Pura.
The projection is enormous, so it's not a scent for the office, unless you provide your colleagues with an oxygen mask including an oxygen tank. However, it should really be well received in the club.
Regarding the bottle: I still have the old one where every "diamond" is probably calculated in carats to arrive at the total price of the fragrance. I actually quite like the presentation.
All in all, I can't give a direct purchase recommendation at this price, as it is quite expensive. Nevertheless, after the 3 hours, it becomes really pleasant and wearable without any issues. My girlfriend loves it on me.
