Erba Leather

Erba Leather Sospiro Was aiming to get a not so common Sospiro and blinded Erba Leather Sospiro. On first sprays and opening...Oh My! Beautiful! What a lovely juicy passion fruit opening~~ The opening makes it different and special from most fruity sweet opening. The passion fruit here is realistic and isn't the sugar or cloying sweet but your typical passion fruit sweetness. The bergamot and lemon balances well with the passion fruit to give one of the better fruity openings I actually like this, as a guy. Very nice not so sweet fruity balanced opening with a very pronounced passion fruit. After a while, 10 mins or so, the scent opens up, the mid and heart notes starts to show up, they really show up as I can get the Jasmine note, the leather note and a lovely sandalwood, all can be distinguish but are so well balanced with the opening notes together. Really great and quite a good olfactory experience. One of the better ones lately. After half an hour or so, the leather begins it's domination with strong support from the sandalwood and I get abit of amber, the opening starts to drift off with the exception of the passion fruit that still lingers. The jasmine also starts to fade into the background. However the leather here is rather pronounced but is rather subtle and soft but strong enough, at the same time you'll get the sandalwood quite strongly. I can't really get the Vetiver on the drydown or it's very well blended in The amber could be going along with the sandalwood and heart notes but this seems to be it's pretty much created to be more musculine inclined with the notes but with added fruitiness and some floras at the opening to heart and drydown. Personally, I don't really dig those really loud fruity sweet opening and dominant frags with the exception of the raspberry leathery dna sweetness frags. I took a risk to blind this by reading up on quite a few writeups and it's more musculine profile and it's definitely a successful buy. Finally another fruity profile frag I really like and wont be hesitate to wear, and I'll definitely wear this out for dates and nights out. It does seems to suit day and Night too but it's not a hot day now that I'm wearing this with this review. One thing to note is the scent seems to develop differently on different parts of my body where I spray them. At least the timing of the scent development differs. While I'm getting a more dominant leather and sandalwood on the forehand and wrist first, while the fruitiness opening and jasmine remains much longer and stronger in the forearms and arms before it goes off and on the shirt it's kinda all in one blended with abit of fruitiness. For anyone looking at a leather sandalwood scent with a different fruitiness that can be rather pronounced, look this way and consider Erba Leather Sospiro. Easily a top scent and signature scent candidate.

As for initial impressions, this is great. I first tried Xerjoff Erba pura. It's okay but too fem and can be bothersome. I then tried Sospiro Erba magica and it was a lot better than Xerjoff but still leaned fem. Sospiro Erba Oud was the best with a few caveats. First, the skankiness can linger from the opening for a bit. After it's settled, you get the rich woodiness but it disappears in the dry down, and you are left only with the Erba DNA. I opted to try the leather because although I enjoyed Erba Oud, it wasn't perfect. I've worn this twice, and the passionfruit shares the stage with the leather until the deep dry down. These two notes dominate the fragrance for its lifespan, which isn't a bad thing, in my opinion. Like everything I've experienced from Sospiro, the blend is great and the performance is ABOVE average. I will drop an updated review once my 5ml is finished. I'm not a leather fan AT ALL, so I want to put this through its paces before I pass or pick up a bottle. As for now, this is edging out Sospiro Erba Oud for a full bottle pickup. I understand why people say this is the best in the Erba series, and right now, I agree. It's sample-worthy if you like tropical scents with a twist. It's sample-worthy even if you don't like leather, as I am right there with you. Edit: After a few more wears Im getting more and more leather which I was afraid of. I will let this sit as I am getting over a cold and it could be throwing off nose (I hope it is). Its great but Im not that into leathers so I will be back for an update to my update later.

Here's my opening gambit: Erba Pura is the Salt Bae of fragrances. A meteoric rise and fall, overplayed (e.g. Pazzaglia built his "empire" around its "clones") with little substance. ... but somewhere, in a tesseract parallel universe Nurset has 3 PhDs and invented a solution to deal with famine globally. Effectively, this is what Erba Leather represents, compared to Erba Pura and Provenzano is the brainy alt-Bae boy. Erba Leather is a "fun leather" fragrance, that starts with a mix of ripe (but not sweet) passion fruit and... leather. After 1 hour the passion fruit goes away (and the similarity with Oud Maracujá ends there), but the jasmine kicks in. As the fragrance progressively evaporates, it becomes more and more musky. Excellent performance, and reasonable price - at discounters.

This fragrance has quickly become the most used in my collection. I bought a decant, and at first, it didn’t seem that incredible. In fact, it felt very similar to PAX by Lorenzo Pazzaglia, which I was also considering buying after trying it. I used the decant for a few days, fell in love, and knew I had to buy it. ...(bye bye pax) I like the versatility of this fragrance. It doesn’t give me formal event vibes, but it’s perfect for any casual gathering with friends, as a signature scent, and even for the office. I think it works great in summer because of the fruity notes and in autumn for its leathery tones. I have the colorful bottle, but I’m wondering if the black bottle is a reformulation. It last for a long time and projects very good as well... I just love it.

I would have to say when you first spray it,you straight away get this enormous sillage where someone from let's say 10 meters, they'll be able to smell you which is very impressive. When i first sprayed it, it was way too strong then as you let it settle down, it lightens with the citrus and leather and it blends very well. This fragrance last 24hrs+. definitely meant for going out during night time and i have to say this gives me a rich guy vibe who lives in a city that presents himself out there with confidence that likes to drink whiskey in a cup with ice in it because he likes his whiskey with ice and likes it cold.2-3 spray max( nothing more than that or else you'll kill someone jk you won't kill someone but 3 is the max) Performance:10/10 Smell:8/10
