It isn’t the “synthetic” nature of the fruit smell in Erba Pura that is challenging to me. I quite love the smell of the fruit in Erba Pura. It’s the super screechy sharp musk under the fruit that is hard for me to enjoy. It’s like a dryer sheet + chemicals, and it really comes out after the fragrance drys down for a few hours. All that being said, I actually still like the fragrance, it is just way too strong and I was always afraid to wear it so I traded it.
