Kirkè by Tiziana Terenzi

It’s hard to pick a favorite from the brand, but this is in my top 3 of the few I’ve tried. It’s addictive; you can’t stop smelling it. Tiziana Terenzi is real niche; nowadays there are too many perfumes that claim to be niche but aren’t, yet this brand truly is. It’s complicated to describe because it has so many lovely, well-executed notes with great quality. It’s fruity but rich and composed; the florals and musk elevate it. If you’re wondering if it’s worth it or if the brand is good, I’d say yes. If you’re a perfume lover and can afford it, go for it: it’s elegant, divine, balanced, and good taste.

This is what Erba Pura should be: fruity, juicy, a natural scent, and not synthetic like the other Erba Pura. This one feels like a mix of fruits with a terrible synthetic base, while the other is like fruits bathed in water—very natural, less harsh, and more pleasant. Still, I wouldn’t wear it because it’s not my type of scent, but it has to be acknowledged that it’s well-made. The longevity is more contained, between 6 and 8 hours, but it doesn’t carry that heavy load the other one does.

I bought it with zero expectations; I’d already read it was a beast mode, but honestly, I don’t know if it was the weather or just that it projected almost nothing on my skin at all, and the scent stayed very close to the skin after thirty minutes; maybe it was just my experience. Still, the scent is very rich in fruit, with peach standing out a lot. I’ll keep testing it.

Smells so good! I don’t see the similarity with the Erba Pura others mention; they’re on the same line, but Kirké is a fruity bomb. It’s that scent you want to wear all day. Also, it came out before the other one. Ideal for those who love musky and sweet-fruity scents. It’s not cloying, not more and not less. I’d buy it again and again. And the best part: it lasts a ridiculous amount of time.

The passionfruit note is very noticeable; it’s a fresh, fruity little perfume with a wood base. I liked the scent. It smells very much like Alharamain Gold, only this Arab fragrance has much stronger wood, especially as it dries. If you don’t want to spend so much on Kirké, that Arab one is a good option, watch out: if you don’t like woody notes, don’t recommend it. In summary, 9/10, it smells like Erbal Essences shampoo.

I absolutely love Kirké; I consider it better than Erba Pura. It smells very fruity; at first, I thought it was shampoo, but after a few days, I see it’s a fleshy fruit cocktail thanks to that peach. Lasting power is impressive; it lasts me a full 28 hours. Strong projection. Scent: 9/10, Longevity: 10/10, Compliments: 10/10, Projection: 9/10

I really like Kirké; I consider it better than Erba Pura. It’s a very fruity scent that at first reminds you of shampoo, but after a few days that impression fades and now I see it as a very fleshy fruit cocktail because of that peach. The longevity is impressive; on my skin it lasts about 28 hours, counted well. The projection is quite strong. Scent 9/10, longevity 10/10, compliments 10/10, projection 9/10.

@Rossyfelix Erba Pura was originally by Sospiro before becoming Xerjoff. Greetings.

Many say it’s a copy of Erba Pura, but it’s the opposite: Erba Pura is a copy of Kirke because Erba came out in 2015 and Erba Pura in 2019, so who was first? I think it’s very balanced because Erba Pura can get overwhelming and cloying.

Can only be summarized in one word: ‘underrated.’ An easy-to-wear fruit cocktail, marked unisex but with a winning personality. Excellent purchase, quality, projection, and longevity.

From hate to love, just one step away. I hated this perfume for its sharp musk, but now it’s my favorite. Long-lasting fragrance, over 14 hours, with super sweet musky tropical fruits. Truly one of my all-time favorites, it’s in my top 5.

The resemblance to Erba Pura is obvious; I tried both today and the key difference is that Kirke has a subtle soapy base that gives the sensation of having showered with incredible tropical fruit soap, like Erba Pura’s shampoo. An interesting contrast, though they aren’t so different that you need both; it’s definitely worth trying both to see which one seduces you more.

Hi @HectorH, Erba Pura was originally by Sospiro, later acquired by Xerjoff who repackaged it as it is now (2018), but it first launched in 2013 under Sospiro, two years before Kirké. Either way, both are fantastic, beloved, and hated, and you shouldn’t diminish one to praise the other. Erba Pura is the older of the two. Best regards.

Hi @HectorH, Erba Pura was originally by Sospiro, then moved to Xerjoff who changed the packaging to the current bottles (2018), but Erba Pura launched in 2013 under Sospiro, two years before Kirke. Anyway, whether from one or the other, both are fantastic fragrances loved and hated equally, and neither should be diminished to praise the other. That said, Erba Pura is the predecessor. Hugs.

I perceived it quite similar to Erba Pura, but a bit more powdery and lighter.
