Anyone got any sleepers (opens in a new tab)Philos Pura does it for me. An Erba Pura clone and it lasts as long as the original. Definitely has that fresh, fruity, synthetic smell that the OG has and for $20-$30 it's pretty good IMO

Lattafa Maison Alhambra Philos Pura First Impressions (opens in a new tab)Just got a bottle of this, to me it’s about 90% to Erba Pura and lasts about 6-7 hrs on skin. Only cost me £16 off Amazon so definitely a good pickup

De salida eran exactamente iguales, pero después al pasar de las horas te das cuenta por qué la diferencia de precio. Mientras que el dupe se mantuvo más "plano" y por menos tiempo, el Erba Pura es un aroma que me encantó como evolucionaba, y me duró como 12hs en piel.
Translation: At the opening they were exactly the same, but over the hours you see why the price differs. The dupe stayed flatter and for less time; Erba Pura evolved lovely and lasted about 12 hours.

Philos Pura de salida es exactamente igual a Erba Pura, pero es medio plano y sintético. Aún así no se me hace malo como mucha gente dice, me parece demasiado bueno por el precio que tiene.
Translation: Philos Pura at the opening is exactly the same as Erba Pura, but somewhat flat and synthetic. Still not bad, too good for the price.
