I tried Erba Pura in a perfume shop in a shopping centre. The scent was brilliant – bold, explosive – even after just two sprays, and I really liked it. I decided to order a sample from a well-known perfume shop in my country. To my surprise, the scent turned out to be quite different: more subtle, with a more pronounced fruity note, and not very long-lasting. Less synthetic, which I didn’t like in this case. It seems to me that this is a completely different Erba Pura. Is it possible that there are such significant differences between batches? I should add that the batch code is 05/2025. Two of the fragrances were new and had not been aged

Hello.

I bought a pair of Sutro Lite glasses and the arms creak terribly. Is this normal for new glasses? I suspect it’s just the plastic rubbing against itself at first.

I’m wondering whether to return them, because although this is my only issue, the overall build quality feels pretty poor (they’re genuine, of course). I’ve had three pairs of slightly cheaper brands before, and they were a hundred times better than this rubbish – maybe because of where they’re made.

I’ve only had a similar experience recently with the Arc’teryx brand, but I sent that one back straight away.
