What Reddit owners say
5/5 Sweetness“This one I bought because I found it's really close to Erba Pura and I was all about the fruity smells...”
4/5 Everyday“Erba pura is a fruity bright freshie that quickly smooths out into a bright light citrusy/vanilla/tonka sweetness.”
2/5 ProjectionSweetness“To me it has strong Erba Pura/Gold vibes.”
1/5 SweetnessOffice“I'm so jealous of the people who get fruit from erba pura.i get sweet plastic and fruit. I got a decant and wore it for work ( I know big mistake) and everyone hated me for how strong it was. I'm so scared of wearing it again.”
4/5 Compliments“The Erba Pura is equally good. I get compliments from women as well as men wanting to know what it is.”

3/5“It will also no doubt get a ton of hate but Erba Pura is still fantastic albeit not one I reach for much anymore”
5/5“I have decant of French tobacco, emerald soul diamond and blue diamond aqua...my favourite is French tobacco also soul diamond has beautiful dry down.. Will certainly try cullinan and erba Pura.. Thanks 😊 dear”
4/5“Xerjoff erba pura. In all fairness tho is not that I can't stand it. Is more that I don't reach for it anymore at all cause i have too many others I enjoy”
5/5 Sweetness“Ask away broski! In my opinion the best fruity fragrance I've smelled is Erba Pura and a great dupe of it is Amber Oud Gold edition. It smells like a woman's shampoo. Almost like a bag of candy. God of fire is also a good shout, which is a mango bomb. I haven't personally smelled it but I could imagine it's fantastic. A good dupe would be Vulcan Feu.”
2/5 Sweetness“Erba Pura was WAY too strong for my liking (I love stronger stuff, too). I got it from a trade with a cool dude on fragranceswap not really knowing anything about it - lasted days on clothes and is very cloying.”
5/5 Longevity“Personally, I love Erba Pura! if you can I would get it! It works amazing in day, night, it's long lasting, a lot of people think it smells amazing as well. I had a 1.7oz erba pura to try it, and I ordered the 3.4oz after because I want to wear it more.”
2/5“I have full 10ml samples of Erba Pura, 40 Knots and Torino21 because I knew after a very short time that I don't like them. Some fragrances are very strong and 2ml is more than enough. I have a 5ml sample of Oud Maracuja which will probably last me two years.”
2/5 SweetnessSynthetic / harsh“I used to like it. Now i hate it. Idk if they use synthetic materials in this but it's just too cloying and too synthetic. Not as bad as erba pura though that shit is just pain in a bottle.”
5/5 Formal“Encre Noir (love it, but it's just not me), Mitsouke (love it, but it's way too formal for my current life), Megamare (I like it, but just once a year or so), and a few others I got dupes of because I wasn't too sure and where I never graduated to an OP bottle, or that were gifted to me and I'm not crazy about (Erba Pura, D&G Light blue, Kamrah Qawah).”
5/5“I wanted to love Erba Pura but I have to layer to tamper down the musk. It gets overwhelming on me.”
1/5 Synthetic / harshHeadaches“Thank you kindly for your detailed response! I made the mistake of blind buying the new jusbox wave of freedom and it's repulsive 🤣😭 I think I have a sensitivity to that form of Amber or whatever it is that's being used. If it's the patchouli, something smells super synthetic and made me nauseous for the last couple days hahaha. When I took a shower I could still smell the Amber woods on my skin and it smelled like erba pura 🤮🤮. I don't get that smell when I spray it only when I take a shower. Oof.”
1/5“I have to disagree here. I fell for this and regretted it! I blind purchased Royal Azure since no decants exist where I live. When it arrived, it had almost zero of the Blue Talisman DNA to my nose. For me, it is Erba Pura, and I hate it.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I can see how someone might not like Xerjoff. I have a sampler of Erba Pura and that shit is NUCLEAR. I kinda want to go get it now”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I used to mix ombre nomad and erba pura in a decant to the gym and it became my most complimented fragrance of all time easily over 30”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“In my collection, I've Rasasi Hawas Fire, Xerjoff Erba Pura and Lattafa Atlas lol”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“From Xerjoff I own Torino21 and Erba Pura; I also have Vibrato from Sospiro.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Projection“Yes, I've tried Erba Pura before and I would say it is quite similar in the opening. I think the musk is toned down here as opposed to Erba Pura, and the peach is the loudest for me in Chrome. I would say Chrome is easier to wear as opposed to Erba Pura because of the musk being more "controlled". The fruits are extremely dense, definitely the dominant note, and stay that way throughout. I think the term "fruit bomb" fits this profile more, and I can see why this is so polarizing.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) LongevityProjection“I recently bought a Xerjoff Erba Pura as well, batch 03/2025, but it didn't last and didn't project at all... I did all the authenticity tests, checked the NFC and validated it, but when I tested it in the field, I could smell the perfume at the beginning, but after a few seconds it "disappeared," I could only smell it in a fleeting glance.”
