I thought it smelled like Robitussin

This cologne smells great. It is a great summer time fragrance.

It smells so good!!!! I loved it so much I bought the b8g bottle!!!!!!!

It's good to sweet, and herbal, the scent it's not for everyone. But it's really nice.

more of a feminine scent than masculine

Smell extremely good a bit overpowering couple of sprays last you a while

I gave it 2 stars because it smelled good on the paper tester. Once I put it on things changed. It smell like burning tires on me. This fragrance is not for me!

smells like a migraine

Nothing special at all. I was expecting to be wowed. Smells exactly like Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold which is 40-50$ for a big bottle. Longevity is alright, I got better longevity from Arab perfumes

This is heaven! It’s so ambery and fruity and just yummy. 100% I will buy a full bottle. I love the dry down the beat but it’s lovely at first spray. I’m so sad for people that can’t wear this or that don’t smell what I do.

This fragrance reminds me of a grown up Britney Spears - Fantasy. I really like it. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. I'd be more inclined to buy a full bottle.

To strong , smell like a fruity air fresher . gave me a headache

The chemical aroma in this (norlimbanol, I believe) is so unbelievably strong it smells like rubbing alcohol. I am amazed at the number of good reviews because I don't personally know anyone that cares for this fragrance. The description sounds so lovely and fruity, but I am unable to smell any of those notes through the chemical smell. And good luck scrubbing this off if you don't care for it.... It is truly BEAST MODE.

VERY STRONG I like it very much, however it’s a very strong fragrance and smells a bit feminine. The first and second day I wore it multiple people made comments saying it’s smells fresh, but some people asked me if i bathed in cologne. However I could see myself growing more to like it if I start using less.

Horrible, musky mess and I can't get it off of me. This made me gag and gave me a headache. I can't even smell any fruit just 'cheap strong teenage boy cologne'. I scrubbed and scrubbed my wrist and can still smell it. I exchanged this one.

I know a lot of people say this fragrance is overrated, but it’s popular for a good reason. It’s an amazing unisex citrusy fragrance with a slight warmth. I personally love it!

A very hyped fragrance. Incredibly sweet and fruity. Pretty close to being considered beast mode. I paired it with a green/woody fragrance to mellow it out and it helped tremendously. Don’t love it but don’t hate it either.

This is a fruity yet ambery fragrance. It’s a mix of Tiziana Terenzi Kirke and Britney Spears Fantasy that’s what it reminds me of. I honestly loved it but I can see how some might not.

Extremely sweet fruity scent, If you like more masculine scents this is not worth the time, gave it to me GF and it works perfect on her for me when it fully dried down it smelt like BO… idk probably doesn’t work on my skin.

This fragrance gave me an immediate headache and cleared the room with just one lethal spray! I couldn’t get this fragrance off of me even after a shower.

The reviews were mixed: you love or hate it. I have the skin that if I smell a fragrance on someone and fall in love with it and try it on myself....I might as well have urine on me. My chemistry does not mix like others. I read the notes on this, it matched what I Love.... and there's a mix bag of reviews, so I thought "why not?" I'm exchanging it. At first spray it was .... I don't want to be negative, but it was a bodily reaction. I can see how this works for some. However, this does not work for me. At all. I tried it twice.

Smells good but didn't last and no one noticed it

I wanted to love this so badly but it had such a strong synthetic/cheap smell. It is harsh & screechy, I tried layering it with a very basic vanilla scent to see if that would help but it didn’t. I wore it a few times & ended up miserable with an awful headache all three times.

I found this to be pretty screechy and synthetic. Fresh-ish fragrance that leans feminine IMO. Not for me. Definitely fruity, longevity was about 6 hrs.

This is by far the strongest fragrance I’ve ever tried. The projection & longevity is insane. I returned it because it’s a bit too strong and musky for me. Fruity and then heavy heavy musk on the dry down. Too musky for me :(

Did not like this as much first, but started to like it after a few days of giving it a try. Initial spray is citrusy and dries down with some undertones of vanilla. Got a couple of compliments from it! Projection is moderate.

The best by xerjof!! It’s so beast mode and an amazing complement getter!!

I like this, not love. It's fruity but then turns to something sharp after drydown

Love it

it’s a pretty scent! A bit strong for me. Top notes of a juicy citrus and dries down with a lot of musk and a little bit of vanilla. It is a nice scent that I’ll use just not everyday wear

I really like the scent, it’s feminine sexy and long lasting. I received several compliments from men and women!

Just wasn't for me. The dry down is better than the initial spray but even that was hard for me to enjoy. Thank goodness I was able to exchange. My son who is also a scent snob didn't enjoy it either.

I hated this one. It’s just super sharp smelling and it lasts way too long. It’s the first one I’ve returned.

Was worth a blind buy wife loves it

Really nice. It starts out with a lot of fruits but dries down to a sweet, musky, ambery smell that last forever. My husband said it entered the room before I did (must have went noseblind to it) so a good reminder not to overspray. Reminds me of Bond no 9 when it dries down.

Very long lasting and strong. Smells great but similar to another fragrance I have that isn’t niche.

Beast mode is an accurate description for this fragrance. 24 hour longevity seriously. Smells a little harsh at first but smooths out SOME in the mid. Its a must try imo.

Smells terrible

This fragrance was too fruity. Had better

Lots of beautiful, juicy fruit and clean, white musk. There is amber and vanilla at the base, but I notice the fruit and musk much more. This is my favorite Xerjoff fragrance. It's really beautiful. I got a full bottle of this, partly because it reminds me a lot of Velorum by Tiziana Terenzi, but compared to Velorum is reasonably priced. Another fragrance that is similar to both of those is Juicy Flowers by Mancera. I would wear these fragrances in any season, but would lean more towards Spring/Summer for this, since I like to wear oud and incense based fragrances in the cold weather.

i loved the smell at first, but the more it dried out on my it started to smell a bit of powdery and i'm not a big fan of powder. still a very citrus floral smell. i like it, but i don't know if i loveeeeee it.

Smells beautiful!

I really enjoy this scent. It’s kind of smells a little like a cologne to me. It’s somewhere in between a feminine and masculine scent. It smelled very fruity and citrusy. I would wear it on occasion but probably not too often.

Very sweet smell initially but once the dry down comes its a very good fragrance. I have had many compliments on this one.

Did not disappoint. Loved it. ??

This did not live up to the hype for me but I think it's just not my taste. It definitely seems strong and long lasting but I just didn't care much for the way it smelled.

This definitely leans super feminine. II feel like it smells really good, clean and fresh. I can't afford a full bottle so I will be conserving this lol

This gives different vibes on me than it does my husband, and I LOVE this so much more on him. It's sweet and spicy. Very strong and last a really long time. Just love it.

I don’t really see the hype. It’s not a bad fragrance, just not as good as it’s made out to be.

Love this scent. Its fresh but yet strong,

Very overpowering fragrance I wouldn’t say it’s fruity like people describe it. Old oud and citrus. I do agree that it could be unisex

Fresh, citrus, & little musky. The scent can be unisex. The dry-down is so nice. You may have to reapply; as it becomes more of a skin scent after the 3-hour mark. Overall, it is a very nice scent. It projects more in the heat. Glad I got to at least experience it in sample form. The bottle price is a little outrageous for me. Recommend for summertime wear. Disclaimer: what I may like, might not be your cup of tea. Our body chemistry is very different. That is why, it is best to try expensive luxury fragrances in sample form before investing in a full bottle.

Starts amazing. Ends disappointingly. Smells super fruity at first then it becomes very powdery and dry smelling. Lasts incredibly long. That is a con because the dry down is horrid.

Love the fruitiness of this one!

Commands attention! But in a good way. First spray is a bit sharp so do not overspray. I would describe this as sparkling and fruity. Think limoncello spritz. Up top you absolutely smell the lemon, bergamot and orange. It’s beautiful. The magic is in the dry down with the musk, amber and Madagascar vanilla. I saw a review about animalic notes and while I understand everyone is different there are no animalic notes here….musk yes.

Instant headache. Washed my hands 3 times and it was still there. So yes, beast mode, but a nauseating beast. I thought about keeping it just to revisit it again because people really like it, but the thought of trying that process again gave me PTSD.

One of my favorite fragrances. I get compliments from people around me all the time. But I agree with the comments that this is more of a feminine scent.

It is simple really. If you wanna smell like a strong bitter musky orange peel buy this. If you wanna smell like a sweet, juicy, delicious orange then go for Bal D’Afrique by Byredo instead. I would choose Bal D’Afrique over this any day of the week. I sprayed Erba Pura on one hand and Bal D’Afrique on the other to compare and I can say without a doubt this is very similar to it, but not as good. The only thing it’s better at in my opinion is longevity/staying power. I can go swimming and Erba Pura’s bitter smell is still lingering on me. Not the best if you don’t like it. If you wanna smell like a pretty, perfect, juicy, natural orange then go for Bal D’Afrique. If you want a citrus that’s more masculine then Erba Pura is probably better for you.

I disliked this fragrance so much. TikTok really raves about the fruitiness of this perfume and it’s too fruity then dissipates quickly into straight vanilla. Basic at the end as well

I give it 1 star for men, 4 star for women. 100% for women.

Listen!!!! But the full bottle. I am part of the monthly subscription and I love it!!!! It’s totally worth the buy! Trust me!!!!

Not sure how anyone can say this “stinks” cause it’s far from that. Opens with citrus then becomes Fruity with a dry down of some amber, vanilla, and musk. This fragrance is very well done. I will be getting a full bottle of it. Also note that depending on your body chemistry, this can lean masculine or feminine. On me, it’s neither too masculine or too feminine, it’s truly Unisex and I get loads of compliments when I wear it.

I based this selection of ratings from different sites not exclusively scent box and I have to say it smells nothing like the description of scents very old lady smelling, it stinks

The description was almost spot on for me. This was very bright and citrusy at first, then settles down to a very warm amber vanilla. At one point before the citrus notes were completely gone I swear it smelled like chocolate. The vanilla is a bit too much for me, just personal taste, but it made this seem like a holiday time perfume rather than summer. To me it's more Christmas cookie citrus vanilla than fruity vanilla citrus summer. Its really not bad, I'd just like it more if I enjoyed smelling "edible."

Power house fragerence , lasted like 10 hrs

Whew this is an enormous perfume! I mean it is LOUD. Definitely fruity, and to me, it has a harsh, scratchy ambroxan/musk accord. If you like that sort of thing, you will love this, but for me it was a scrubber. I sprayed one spray, and it lingered in the air for HOURS!

Smells OK Can't really notice it after a while Starts off nice with a citrus scent and then just kinda fades

This one hits sharply. Has a short citrus smell that gets dominated by an almost medicinal smell. Wife didn't like it at all. I was interested enough to give an additional star.

Will give a generous 4-stars. Was not what I was expecting, but still ok

Everywhere I go I'm completely comfortable wearing this product I'm constantly asked what it is and the next morning my bedding smells of it aroma I would recommend it to a friend

It smells nice but it also smells too close to Al Haramain’s Amber Oud Gold Edition for me. I wanted it to be a bit sweeter but it’s still nice overall

This is actually insane. What a smell.

It’s smelled too feminine.

This fragrance is Absolutely amazing!!! It was definitely love at first sniff. ??

I was interested in this because I love Kirke by Tiziana Terenzi and people say that they smell just alike. The do NOT. There is "a part of" this one that smells like Kirke but it is fleeting and it is WAY outweighed by the EXTREMELY MUSKY ANIMALIC notes. This is putrid on me. I fully understand how important body chemistry is and that, for some reason, I am picking up those notes BIG TIME. I could see how a different body chemistry would get the fruity sweetness... "possibly" ... This is "supposedly" a fruit bomb... not on me. ... On me.. the fruit is completely masked, taken over by the MUSK, ANIMLAIC stank. I am so disappointed because I was excited about this one and really wanted to love it. ... I don't like to be crass, but I want to give a true description: It smells of the stank that some young teens have when girls start their menses (mentral cycles) and boys have an all over stank... almost like "stank crotch" ... or a stanky animal in "heat" (meaning "mating season" for those of you who don't know that term) ... It's is FOUL! ... I usually wear most fragrances well, but unfortunately not this one. .... I want to wait some time and try it again to see if "maybe" ..just "maybe"... it might be different later. I am so happy for those of you that smell like fruity goodness with this one.. I wish it had that effect on me and that is what I was looking forward to. ... Kirke is a love for me, but "so far", Erba Pura is a big big disappointment.

This stays with you for a long time! Bright and fresh immediately after you spray it. For me, the brightness of the citrus dries down to the musk that lingers forever. I really like this. Use just a spritz or two because it is powerful.

I thought it was a man's cologne is it it smells like it

Amazing.

I love it It starts out kinda fruity sweet then dries to a fruity heavy vanilla heavy beautiful musk I’ve gotta compliments on it but people also told me it was too strong

This seems to be a hate it or love fragrance so definitely sample first. I thought I was in love with Oriana by Parfums de Marly. This is very different and yet something about it makes me feel like Oriana grew up and became a glamorous, passionate, wealthy woman. I can't get enough of it. The perfect balance of exotic fruit and vanilla and musk and mystery. Other reviewers are right, it is more feminine than masculine. The right man could pull it off but if you usually smell like tobacco and leather, this is not your cup of tea.

Delightfully fruity

Erba Pura comes from the esteemed house of Xerjoff, who make such delicious smells as Lira. Erba Pura starts off as a sparkling, fruity bowl of fun that dries down to a more mellow fruitiness. I’m in like, not in love.

Smells very strong at first but then dries down to a soft scent and last very long all day for me

I’m in the middle on this one. It’s either very you, or very not… This is very very feminine and if you style quite masculine id stay well away from this. The opening smells very cheap, almost reminds me of the So…? Body mists you get from supermarkets worn by teenage / younger women. After it dies down the musk comes through a little more. A perfume for the more feminine man.
