Erba Gold

In the world of niche fragrances, there are so many choices and things available today that it is simply difficult to choose the right one! Unfortunately, some of them are honestly a little overrated.. With years of success, they destroyed their own fragrances with reformulations (Creed-Greed I'm sniping at you ;) ) As always, there are those nice exceptions that make it still worth it! One of these successful brands is definitely Xerjoff itself. I am simply happy with most of their releases that despite everything they have achieved, they still offer high quality and honorably defend the title "Niš perfumery"! X. Erba Gold? Let's get straight to the point. Simply, among all the varied offers from the house itself, this belongs in the Top 3 for the most beautiful and best compliments! I got them during all the costumes really everywhere (store, bar, on the road, bank, cinema, work... ) I also own a Sospiro Erba Gold and it is right there! This current X. beauty is similar to the somewhat ordinary X. Erba Pura (Which is more on the feminine side) with an amazing added transformation! Melon, mango, pear, apple, cinnamon... With my personal best spice - Cardamom! Conclusion! Totally good and a compliment magnet - lasts very well and despite the similarities to Erba Pura, this rendition is totally its own perfume worth the money and a better choice! I notice that it is quite underrated and let it stay that way - it will serve me for a long time for praise and uniqueness 😁 It's not good people-go on for someone else's-this one is mine 😂

Erba Gold opens with a rich fruity combination of citruses, mango and melon. In the background, there's an icy fresh note which makes it smell like what tropical Trident gum would taste like. As it dries down, the musk adds a nice clean, synthetic scent, transforming it from tropical gum to tropical fabric conditioner. All in all, it's a fun, attention-grabbing fragrance, but it could be perceived as slightly immature. In the hot weather, I think most people would enjoy this, plus it's very unisex (except maybe older men). In my opinion, Erba Gold is much, much better than Erba Pura and Kirke, both of which are (IMO) borderline unwearable synthetic musk bombs, though it falls short of the other tropical fragrance I own - Pacific Chill. If you had to choose one as a summer signature at retail price, I would recommend Pacific Chill, no hesitation, due to its unmatched quality and creativity, but I suppose personal preference is No.1, so sample first regardless. Performance is carried by the musk, giving you a whole sunny day's worth of longevity as well as room-filling projection. It's not nuclear like Erba Pura or Kirke, which is a good thing. I would consider a good amount of sprays for the summer outdoors is 6-8, indoors maybe half of that. Random sidenote - Xerjoff presentation is exceptional as always, but their 100ml might be the tallest bottle in my collection. Maybe I'm too used to short, stocky bottles. Smell: 8/10 Performance: 8.5/10 Presentation: 9/10 Value: 4.5/10 Overall: 8/10

This was my first ever blind buy to me, and it did not disappoint. I have smelled Erba Pura before but I didn't like how harsh it was. I loved the scent, but that harshness is really too big of a flaw for me to buy it. Fast forward around a year later, I needed a summer scent really badly due to my collection basically only having winter scent at the time. (I love vanilla scents) So, I stumbled upon Erba Gold. Upon reading the reviews on how this was Xerjoff's new take on the Erba Pura. I was a bit skeptic, but after hearing how people praised it for being a more well-blended, easier to wear Erba Pura. I have to check it out. Sadly, I couldn't find it nor try it anywhere. After careful considerations, I decided to pull the trigger and blind buy it. It was perfect. Sweet fruity scent that screams summer. I know people said it smells like mango, but as a south-east Asian. It kinda does, but not too much. It definitely still smells like melon to me. A nice melon that is backed up with sweet fruits. The vanilla is really well-done in the dry down. This scent is so nice that I used this for a week without getting bored of it. I used it for university, and my friend said I smelled really nice. I don't recommend using it if you're going to be in a small room with lots of people though. Don't ask how I know. TL;DR Fruity sweet summer scent. Does smell like mango to some, but definitely not to me. Super long-lasting, still present even after I took a shower. Projects loudly.

A TALE OF TWO BROTHERS... Once there was a big,powerfull & rich family. They were very successful in their business and had a great respect/reputation in their region. The father of the family had two sons in whom he invested everything he had and everything he knew. One of the sons - Erba Pura - showed great potential at the beginning and is almost the embodiment of their strong father/whole family. He was very powerful, luxurious and influential. Some other families were also inspired by him and raised their sons with similar criteria in the hope of the same fame! The problem arose when this son started to appear everywhere, he caused a lot of scandals and began to undermine the reputation of the family itself with his explicit behavior. most of the surroundings.. The father became more and more doubtful of his growth and hoped that someone else could somehow miraculously save him.. He invested all his last hopes in his remaining son.. After all that has happened, the second son - Erba Gold - finally intervenes! This one was much more beautiful, equal or even more valuable than his own brother - even closer to his father in terms of values. With his friendly character, kindness and just enough self-confidence, he renewed old ties, resolved most of his brother's disputes, made many new successful acquaintances, and fully returned the shine, honor and glory of this rich and successful family with its own coat of arms “X”! 😊

Honestly, I was looking for a summer fragrance with a Chypre accord, but when I came across Erba Gold, I didn’t have high hopes for it. Having smelled Erba Pura before and the fragrance that never truly captivated me due to its dominant Fruity accord and I assumed this one would follow the same path. But Erba Gold turned out to be an unexpected revelation, and I absolutely fell in love with it! This fragrance masterfully balances Chypre and Fruity accords, where a delightful mango-like scent emerges, bright yet refined, seamlessly blending into the rich complexity of the composition. Its notes unfold beautifully, opening with radiant citrus freshness before settling into a warm, alluring base that lingers. What truly makes this fragrance unforgettable for me is its sillage, which is soft yet commanding, leaving an enchanting trail in the air, and its longevity, which remains on the skin for hours, constantly revealing new layers of depth. This intelligent fusion of freshness and depth not only changed my perception of this fragrance line but also made Erba Gold one of my top summer choices and the scent that truly deserves admiration and appreciation. I’d rate it 8.0 out of 10.
