I personally like very much the fragrance of Tom Ford Noir Extreme. However, I was somewhat disturbed by the durability and sillage (relatively poor).

Have heard that the Noir pour Femme version should smell similar and better in terms of H+S is.

My opinion of pour Femme:
- elegant (rather ladies) fragrance
- Scent is similar to Noire Extreme but also somehow not, the scent is sharper and less edgy.
- H+S is better (but not extremely better)

In itself great fragrance, but I as a man would still prefer to buy the Noir Extreme with better H+S.

If one deals with Xerjoff, one comes across Erba Pura again and again. I have first tested other fragrances of Xerjoff (Naxos, Opera etc.).
Now I am but also finally come to Erba Pura.

First of all, the positive: Sillage and especially shelf life is above average and really great!

About the scent: I can not say it differently but I always smell a bubble gum out. Chewing gum with powdery slightly soft, fruity touch. Of course, the whole thing is always a matter of taste but I'm used to Xerjoff other. Yes the scent is something special, but for me personally unfortunately not very good. One must also always keep the price in mind and if you're honest, the fragrance could also cost 20 euros per bottle.

Am still very convinced of the brand Xerjoff, of Erba Pura but unfortunately not so really.

So basically I like the fragrance very much! But since the fragrance comes from the house Xerjoff and costs not exactly 20 euros, you have to look at it also partly critical.

To the fragrance itself:
The first seconds he smells very fresh and full of power. In the drydown, so after about 1-2 hours, it is nice soft, powdery and has for me the ''typical'' high-quality and unique Xerjoff fragrance.
What bothers me but then a little: He just goes into the group Aventus, MontBlanc Explorer, etc.. This pineapple top note, which is generally very great, smells a bit too generic and almost cheap by Xerjoff standards.

That being said, there is something in the top note, (I think that might be the citrusy pineapple) which just doesn't make the scent 100 percent round and perfect.

Bit of a shame... BUT this is really criticism on a higher level.

Nevertheless, very great fragrance that you have to test.

H+S very good!

So the fragrance is reminiscent of Creed Aventus or Club de Nuit but I still find that he has something peculiar and stands out somewhat from its clones. For me personally, he smells beginning a little more alcoholic and in the course of a synthetic kind of fresh but still fruity and light.

Personally, I smelled him the first time in Douglas and can still remember it well: was really surprised, because he smells somehow different from conventional perfume, what everyone has so in his head.

For me, a really good, inexpensive perfume! The only thing that bothers me is the somewhat weak sillage and durability. Clearly this is now also not extremely bad, but you just compare with the fragrances of the top league ;)
