What does Erba Pura smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure and nights out come up most often. Votes for feminine, masculine and modern sit close together, so it doesn't lean on one gender. Maison Alhambra Pura and Xerjoff Erba Gold have a close profile.

It opens with Sicilian lemon, Sicilian orange and Calabrian bergamot, a fresh citrus burst. Fruity notes in the heart add sweetness, and amber, white musk and Bourbon vanilla settle the base into a soft, creamy footing. Floral and synthetic tones stay in the background.
