What does Erba Gold smell like?

Most voters recommend spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and nights out. Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine.

After the citrus, cardamom, clove and cinnamon add spice, while pear, green apple and melon give the heart a sweet, fruity freshness. White musk, amber and Bourbon vanilla settle into a creamy, soft base. Xerjoff Erba Pura and Giorgio Armani My Way (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
