Something about spraying more than once in the same spot accentuates the power of the Oud note in it, taking it from subtle to overpowering. Definitely a fragrance to be wore during the frozen days of the year since it’s warm, cozy and inviting.

Blind bought this because I love Erba Pura and Amber Oud Gold Edition, and wanted to see if this was different enough to not be redundant in my collection.

In the mid of King, I noticed a fair amount of oud, but in a complimentary role as it still sits behind the fruits and vanilla. I dont know if I have a bad bottl or what, because I know a lot of people claim this has beastly performance.From the enchanting fruity arrangements to the irresistible sweet undertones, each fragrance takes you on a sensory journey, awakening emotions and evoking memories.

I believe that the modifications to the original "Erba Pura" formula by "Bharara Beauty" has extended the potency, lifespan/longevity and beautified the scent profile of this fragrance and IMPROVED on the age old formula. Finally, it turns gourmand and spicy (CREAMY VANILLA) kind of NUTTY, CAKE-ish with a Middle East twist.The opening of this is pretty spectacular, also short-lived, as with all such citrus and Kool Aid top note combinations, but the sillage is acceptable and the musky amber, with a tad less vanilla that I might have liked, is a very pleasant and spicy (fenugreek maybe? All in all, this is a wonderful masculine fragrance with incredible performance that does not disappoint. The top notes are bergamot, cardamom, and ginger, which give the fragrance a fresh and invigorating opening. However, this fragrance lasts longer (by about 4 hours) and has an opening of Mandarin Orange and Musk instead of directly opening with the Pear and Vanilla. I bought this for my husband and dad and it definitely draw so much attention the longevity and smell projects lovely.

The dry down loses much of the citrus and becomes more of a powdery vanilla with a lingering sweetness to my nose. At Bharara Beauty, we are passionate about creating and blending scents that can conjure a memory, lift mood, or bridge sentimental and sensory experiences. I might not wear this in a business environment unless someone in the office is a romantic interest, but it's not outright inappropriate for that or in any other setting. Even to the dry down, I can’t really pick up anything else but some vaguely woody/musky scent with a tone of peppery spice.If you enjoy Erba Pura and/or Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold Edition, but wish it had some added citrus notes, I highly suggest picking this one up. The drydown is barely even worth mentioning because it's a skin scent after half an hour and near undetectable after 1 hour. As mentioned in the title, this is another Xerjoff Erba Pura clone, but has the wonderful addition of citrus, which I think makes it slightly more masculine than the original or Amber Oud Gold Edition. Lasts all day I've put it on in the morning after a shower and smelt it when I woke up the next day. At the heart are hints from fruity notes, while the base consists of notes from white musk, vanilla and amber.
