Erba | Inspired by Erba Pura

Fruity, sweet and sunny — as an Extrait. Inspired by Erba Pura.

An exuberant fruit opening with orange and tropical fruit, juicy and cheerful, that grows warmer through musk and amber. As an Extrait de Parfum the oil concentration is higher, so the fruit sounds deeper and lasts much longer.

How it develops

Orange opens like a glass of fresh juice — sparkling, sunny, immediately good-humoured — with tropical fruit making it ripe and sweet, a fruit bowl in the sun. Then it grows up: musk makes it clean and skin-like, amber gives warmth, and together they slowly take the fruit from juice to warm skin. As an Extrait the difference from the Eau de Parfum is mainly depth: the fruit sounds fuller, the base is thicker, and where the Eau de Parfum softens after an afternoon, this one holds the same note until evening.

Who it's for, and when

Four seasons, day and evening. Want the same fragrance as an Eau de Parfum, for now and then, S-110 is the more affordable way in. Love tropical fruit but want it creamier, with passion fruit and musk, see T-20.

How to wear it

Two sprays is enough — with an Extrait you need less than you're used to. On the neck, on moisturised skin, don't rub. Three sprays is for a long evening; more is too much in company.
