Erba Pura Magica

Up top: fruity, sweet, clean, almost aquatic. The fruits definitely contain citrus but it's more than that. It's like passionfruit and other tropical fruits mixed with some florals. Dry down has some of the fruits and then vanilla, Iso E Super and mild musk. It does share a resemblance to Garnier Fructis shampoo but not nearly as much as the original one did. This one has a bit of Ambroxan (even though not listed, it's clearly here) with slightly nicer ingredients than the original making it lean more unisex and not screechy like the original. It's very sweet, so be careful with the trigger. Good for the summer evenings and I think men can easily pull it off. Longevity is beast mode on me. 12+ hours noticeable with strong push for hours. An 8.25/10 for me. Must love sweet fragrances but Provenzano took the original and smoothed it out, took out the screechy musk, added better fixatives and made it just better. (for reference, I'd give the original around a 7/10).

Erba Pura Magica by Sospiro is a rare fruity fragrance that completely changed my perception of fruity perfumes. While I never liked fruity accords before finding them weak and uninspiring, this one is a true hidden gem. It opens with bright fruits and citrus, but what makes it unforgettable is the rich caramel note, adding warmth, depth, and sensuality to the freshness. The blend is playful yet refined, and it creates a magnetic, addictive aura. The sillage is strong, leaving a bold trail, and the longevity is long-lasting, easily carrying through hot summer days. It’s one of my favorite summer fragrances, and I truly love it. This scent really reminds me of these lyrics: Living la dolce vita, Life couldn’t get much sweeter, Don’t you give me a reason, I’ve been saving all my summers for you, like froot. (MARINA) Scent: 2/2 Longevity: 1.5/2 Sillage: 1.3/2 Packaging: 1.8/2 Price: 1.1/2 ——— I’d rate it 7.7 out of 10.

This is the burner in summer. Xerjoff EP without vanilla and much less musk. I actually hate this type of scent. Sospiro has managed to make Erba Pura wearable for musk haters. The opening of the Magica is much more citric, fresher and stays a bit even in the drydown. Replacing vanilla with caramel was the right decision, fits much better. For men this perfume is better because a lot of cedar wood has been added. What bothers me is the high price, I hope Lattaffa Armaf or Al-Haramain can copy this fragrance as well or change it. Magica fits perfectly as a nickname, this fragrance really has something magical and will bring you a lot of compliments. Thanks for reading :* and always smell good friends.

This is a banger. They managed to take out the harshness from the Xerjoff EP. This tones it down a little, but it is still pretty beastly and has amazing longevity. These Sospiros are high quality and the perfumer is amazing as well. It is unisex and best for a sweet fruity summer fragrance option. Edit 1: I've been wearing this a lot lately. As a reviewer below pegged it: soapy and fruity. It opens very soapy and fruity almost like a shampoo. Once it dries down in about an hour, it blossoms into its sweet amazing fruity scent. Sillage on this one is great although it seems to sit close to the skin. I think the musk and underlying amboxian might cause some nose blindness to a certain extent.

Definitely softer & sweeter than the classic Erba Pura, in the opening🍭 Imagine that the cold fruity feeling in Erba Pura is heated with caramel and its sharp edges are rounded. I cannot say that I smell the notes one by one. It all makes itself felt as a whole to my nose. How to become a summer perfume without smelling like lemon cologne? Erba Pura Magica is the answer. Although the openning is quite different than the originial, they become quite similar in the drydown. Therefore, if you have the old version, I don't think you need to buy it just for the opening and middle notes. Does it perform as well as the classic Erba Pura? Well, we'll see... 💙

For everyone that disliked Erba Pura: try this one out. It takes out the original EP's muskiness and replaces the vanilla with caramel, making it kind of creamy and "thick" if that makes sense... Initially it smells like a fresh cotton candy warm weather fragrance and I think this is unisex right in the middle! Overall to my nose this smells really luxurious and it's not offensive/sharp at all, but again my nose can't really seem to catch well the Erba Pura DNA. Performance is definitely more than 12 hrs and I can't really say for projection since it's soft on my skin, but I'd say it's good as well. Solid 9/10 fragrance!

This frag is BEAST MODE. I've never called a frag that, but this one takes the cake for longevity. I wore it to my office the other day and was stopped probably five times because people could smell me, and they could smell which rooms I had been in. The next day, a co-worker said that she could still smell me in the office when she came in (and she came in before me). It smells a lot like Heroine by BTV to me, but a bit more synthetic musk and way longer lasting. I really love it. I think it's creamy, sexy, sweet, and easy to wear. Doesn't take many sprays, either!

I personally love it. But it is because I L O V E Erba Pura. They smell similar but to my nose, Erba Pura Magica has a little more fruits and woods that the original Erba Pura. Longevity (on my skin) is not as good as EP either. Maybe because there is less Musk? EP has a massive dose of musks and amber and EPM seems more well behaved, if that makes sense? I’ll personally stick with Erba Pura because it’d be redundant to have both but then again, if I found a good deal on this one, I wouldn’t say no to it, it’s truly D I V I N E✨✨✨

Miles clear of erba pura and erba gold. This fragrance is simply done better. Unlike erba pura, it remains consistently fruity, and much less synthetic and creamy. This smells like a fresh orchard, and the vanilla is replaced by the way superior caramel note, making the sweetness perfect and better blended. The musk is also done better than erba pura. If you like erba DNA, get this absolute masterpiece. It may not be for those wanting particularly masculine fragrances, but i think it is perfectly unisex. 9.5/10

First hour or so just smells like Xerjoff's Erba pura, no caramel or woody notes at all. The dry down/performance is the only upside to this, instead of musky it stays fruity/creamy all the way through. Amber Oud gold/Erba Pura/Ana Abiyedh; they're pretty much identical, only one that smells kind of different is Erba gold which is sweeter/feminine and Bharara King which is fresher/masculine. Scent:9/10 Performance:10/10

Originally, I wasn't a fan of this one on its own. Way too powdery and feminine leaning, although better than erba pura with the change of caramel. Call me crazy, but I layer this one with dior homme intense and get an incredible fruity sandalwood scent. They're both similar in the cedar base note so they don't clash, but I get the nice fresh fruits with a background iris and woody tone. Amazing stuff.

Great perfume.I love it more on my husband than me.The longevity is beast mode,lasts for weeks on his clothes and over 12h on his skin.Sillage is great too.He keeps one bottle of this perfume in the car.The whole car smells like Erba Pura even if is with the lid on.I’ve never felt a perfume to be so strong yet pleasant before

I love this. It smells clean, fresh fruity, sweet and lux. When I first smelled this it reminded me of Britney Spears fantasy. Obviously a more luxurious long lasting scent. The only thing I do not like is that I get a hint of a gasoline smell. I think it’s perfect except for that. Not sure if I got a bad batch.

This is the best version so far of erba pura, the opening is fresh almost photorealistic citrus, not sharp but juicy. The dry down with the caramel is stunning, erba pura by xerjoff is nice but it doesn’t smell fresh like the magica. I can see myself wearing this quite often as it is so versatile.

I like so much better than Xerjoff's Erba Pura or Kirke! It is much rounder, deeper and long lasting-when I'm wearing this, I get always compliments ( with Xerjoffs Erba I don't). So this is my faw. Erba Pura and I looove the balsamic note and the lots of caramel!

Deserve a Magica name to it, I dint even like original Erba Pura. But this is a real magic. It is brighter less thick fruity than the original. But the price is very expensive, if there any discount I can find definately I will purchase it.

Way less synthetic than Xerjoff Erba Pura, smells like natural tropical fruits - I get a bit of mango, kiwi and some other stuff and it's really nicely blended, and I got a great price for it. Successful blind buy. Would defo recommend

This is mouth watering. Fruity fresh caramel, with close to skin powdery musk and warm amber. Actually a 10/10, way better than the others.

How my nostalgia makes me think A&F Fierce smelled back in 2004. Fruity with a masculine, shower-fresh dry down. I love it.

smells more creamy compare to xerjoff erba pura new batches have a performance issue
