Can an alternative smell exactly like Xerjoff Erba Pura?

No. Materials and concentrations differ, and something always gives: usually depth in the drydown or naturalness in the opening. That is why we publish a similarity percentage instead of promising a perfect clone; the closest match sits around 88%.

How is the similarity percentage calculated?

We cross the accords and notes of each pair of fragrances with our own similarity model, and when our editors have evaluated the pair in depth, their verdict is the number you see. The full methodology is linked at the bottom of the list.
