The review
Scent of Italy scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Erba Pura.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Erba Pura's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 69% less than Erba Pura — the 24th cheapest of 26 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Xerjoff Erba Pura is sweet orange, bergamot and lemon at first, fruity notes, jasmine and rose at its heart and musk, amber and vanilla at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top

For endless summer. Candied orange and sun-warmed fruit spill over white musk and amber — bright, joyful, impossibly easy to wear.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
