Update: the lime punch is dissipating, can start to see some resemblance to Mont Blanc Explorer, a soft woody citrusy drydown. I think I prefer the opening.
I tried this today in store and all I could pick up was a cleaning product smell. My wife wouldn’t even do a dry down check as she hated it throughout. She loves Eros Flame, so hopes were higher for this follow on flanker.
People may say it's fresh and great for the line, but everyone also says it smells nothing like Eros. Doesn't really seem like a flanker but instead using the Eros brand to help sell it when it should have been it's own line
Good point. I think Dior have done the same with the new Dior Sauvage Eau Forte; using a successful brand name to help sell something quite different from the original line DNA.
True. If the name was more accurate to the notes, I would have called this Pour Homme EDP, but since Eros is more popular it definitely seems like that's why they made it a flanker of that.
Update! I had previously commented that I tried 1 spray of Energy, got lots of citrus, but no Aventus vibes. Well I can confirm that there is indeed Creed Aventus in the dry down. I put 3 heavy sprays on my skin today at Macy's, yep the Aventus shows up around the 1-2 hr mark. Came home and compared it to my CDNIM limited edition and it is definitely similar but on the lighter side. 👍🤔
versace needs more flankers for their hits such as dylan blue pour homme and man. By looking the notes I assumed it would be similar to aventus cologne
@@sippy8975I agree...but...they are smart...let them be what they are for as long as we can. Everyone else has an EDT...edp...edtp...parfum...pure parfum...eau de pure ed parfum...shit yourself elixir...etc...im tired of that bullshit. They let the frags be...
Another nice review! I get a blend of Bohemian Lime and Explorer (more so than Aventus) from it, and I'm actually glad they didn't go with the Eros DNA on this one because the other 4 all smell the same in the dry down to me. I'm a citrus lover, so I love the opening. Strong lemon/lime can come across as a cleaning product to some, but it doesn't for me. Performance is pretty good on it too, although not as long as Perseus- which is still my favorite summer release this year.
I just ordered some yesterday after I got your email that it was finally in stock, should get it next week, I'm pretty anxious, been waiting for this one.
Honestly respect the dedication to the fragrance vid. You seem like you live in the same region and it’s uncomfortably hot this week so a pool sounds nice
So I'm reading some of the comments and they're saying it just reminds them of regular everyday citrus fragrance state we've all smelled a thousand times but I went on ahead and I bought it anyway just because the collector in me went at the bottle as well as what was inside so 💯💯
I actually think your comments are a bit wrong, this is a pure clone of Terre dhermes de givre. Its identical, even the dry down. Hermes is a bit stronger I would say, but not by much. Now if you like the Hermes fragrances then get this, as if you are from the uk you can currently get it from Superdrug for £59. Personally I like it better thsn the other eros's. BUT I like citrus fragrances.
For me it’s like a very citrusy Mont Blanc explorer. In the dry down it has a dry woody earthy smell similar to explorer. It doesn’t have ambroxan however I think.
@@willzavala9890I’m going to wear it all year round and stand out from the winter vanilla bombs lol 😂 I think it’ll cut through that winter air nicely 👌🏼
Isn’t as harsh or synthetic as club de nuit in the opening and has no Smokey dry down …. It’s much more a citrus forward Montblanc explorer with good projection that lasts very well for a citrus forward scent
I fully understand that smell is highly subjective, but I sampled this at Dillard's yesterday, and it definitely was in that Aventus/ Aventus Cologne space for me, especially with the opening. Now, don't get me wrong. It was nowhere near a clone nor necessarily an "inspired by" version of Aventus/ Aventus Cologne. It was definitely its own thing. But IMHO (and I'm making this judgement just off one sampling) if a person already has several Aventus DNA fragrances such as Hacivat, Mont Blanc Explorer, either CDIM version, etc. a full bottle of Eros Energy is unnecessary and brings nothing substantially new to the table. I may just purchase a 10ml decant for the heck of it.
@@professorlip I sampled it yesterday as well, got one good spray on the back of my hand. Got lots of strong citrus but didn't get any aventus vibes. I am a huge aventus fan, so I guess I'll have to try it again.
I just tried it yesterday at Dillard's, it's basically a clean citrus fragrance 🍋. It smells good but nothing mind blowing, similar to Aqua Di Gio/Terre d Hermes or any other Citrus heavy frag. Versace definitely took Eros in a different direction but there are so many citrus frags out there with similar profiles, IMO it really doesn't stand out.
Finally tried this one the day it came out. I knew it would smell like this tbh based on the notes… I figured it might be boring but I really like it. Kinda like the top notes of aventus but kinda “candied” Like a summer version of aventus that’s pretty well balanced. I will be picking this one up for my holiday next week 🤙
I smelled this in store and on the initial smell it smelled like freshly squeezed oranges, I didn't like it at first but then 20 minutes later or so it smelled so amazing and I'm regretting I didn't buy it 😔
O.K have smelled it . Very similar to Dior Eau Sauvage EDT yet the Eros has candy sweetness which is not so good . The Sauvage EDT has much more natural vibe and it is by far better quality fragrance . Eros shows that Sauvage EDT is timeless . Might make the Sauvage EDT more popular , bring it back to the front to younger guys . Also Chanel allure home sport EDT is the sweetness you want instead of Eros energy. So Eros energy is harsh , candy lemon and has synthetic vibe. Dior eau Sauvage EDT is by far better lemon - bergamot scent and natural . A must timeless . Chanel allure home Sport is the orange version of Eros which is much better the Eros . Explorer is much ether then Eros energy and they are way different . Best economical every day wear . Creed aventus EDP is still no 1 . The Goat = niche frag After Creed Aventus no 2 is Creed silver mountain water EDP = niche frag Third place Dior Eau Sauvage EDT = designer yet niche quality and natural
I pre-ordered my bottle and it arrived early. Versace Eros Energy has an sharp, crisp yet citrus rindy opening with a Creed Aventus backbone. The mid and dry down is Aventus, Explorer, CDNIM special edition...etc. Projection is nuclear for the first hour and longevity is 8 to 10 hrs. Energy is a discount pickup. If you are sick of Aventus and its clones (I am), you should pass on this one.
I think Versace needs to focus on making new fragrances or other flankers on there other fragrances because honestly Versace Eros flame and Versace Eros energy are fragrances that don't even smell like eros put in a eros bottle and name to make people buy it it's just annoying i love Versace my favourite brand for fragrance but it's a little annoying
No, it's not an original scent lol. I don't know how people smell this and don't go straight to Aventus Cologne. I smelled this before seeing any review and instantly said this is f*cking Aventus Cologne. I got wifts of it after 12 hours on me. I'm buying 3 bottles. 100ml 65€ now
Huge disappointment... Nice citrusy opening with some gum/candy feel then it turns into an Aventus clone. I expected much more from a huge house as Versace...
Cmon dude you didnt even bother to test the performance after a few hours? How hard is it to come back a few hours later and tell us how it smells. Lazy
There are so many notes in a fragrance. Many different synthetic chemicals make the smell or something. It’s not like they’re actually putting lemons in the fragrance. Same thing with something like Hugo boss only listing three notes. So much more involved
Doesn't smell like Aventus to me. Basically just citrus until it's a skin scent and then it smells a bit like Mont blanc explorers dry down. Either way, quite disappointing.
@@ronnies2840 your right I had a chance to try it again and definitely got light aventus vibes in the dry down after a couple of hours, it smells pretty good.

Longevity so far??
Does this smell like Goldfield and Banks Bohemian Lime?
How is the performance?
Hey do you have Al Haramain black oud extrait de Parfum ? What the smell like ?
Orange - citrus - bomb. More fresh than sweet, not heavy or too synthetic at all. Nice!
People may say it's fresh and great for the line, but everyone also says it smells nothing like Eros. Doesn't really seem like a flanker but instead using the Eros brand to help sell it when it should have been it's own line

True. If the name was more accurate to the notes, I would have called this Pour Homme EDP, but since Eros is more popular it definitely seems like that's why they made it a flanker of that.
On my skin, it's a very light citrus scent, definitely leans more towards a powdery lime vibe. To me it's a spring/ end of summer cologne

Same. I actually layer my Eau Giveree over my CDIM Limited to liven the citrus opening.
versace needs more flankers for their hits such as dylan blue pour homme and man. By looking the notes I assumed it would be similar to aventus cologne
I 100% agree. Imagine a EDP for Dylan blue and Man Eau fresh. These will be killer. I wonder why this hasn’t happened yet.
A men's Dylan Purple bottle would look awesome.
I agree to all of this. Give me a Dylan Blue Parfum or elixir. Give me some more smoky dark aquatic vibes

Dylan blue is a flanker of the original pour homme.

Next eros flanker, eros aqua !
yes !
Oooo. Love this train of thought.
i love it, got it as a birthday gift. Very lemony and fresh

So cal heat wave en route - just got my shipping confirmation on this. Perfect timing.
I guess Versace needs to bring a green frag flanker of their pour homme
Thank you Dallas! I love the original Eros and Flame, so I'm very curious about this one 🤔
It’s definitely the most different yet, a nice change of pace
@@ChaosFragrances scale ⚖️ 1-10?
@@ChaosFragrances Sounds interesting. Can't wait to get my nose on it
Same here love Eros, but energy is all about the citrus that's about it.
I smelled it at Dillard's since they already have it as a tester. It smelled like a photorealistic glass of orange juice in an elegant way haha.

It smells like a smoother CDNIM after the opening. Dry down after 1hour smells so close, just not as screechy when you put it close to the nose.
Isn’t as harsh or synthetic as club de nuit in the opening and has no Smokey dry down …. It’s much more a citrus forward Montblanc explorer with good projection that lasts very well for a citrus forward scent
Thanks to you, I got this on Sephora for $115. Thank you, good sir. Love your email list.
I have the new PRADA SPORT 2024 why haven't you done a review on it, my bottle of energy comes in tomorrow got it from sephora
I only wish that the blood orange stood out just as much as the lime and lemon with some pineapple added to it. 👍
I’m rocking this all year ladies love it
They really do non stop compliments it’s ridiculous I was like wait a min what lol 😂 it’s just citrus they love it
@@MajesticLawnGnome dry down is good too

After the citrus setlles down which isn't long, this smells almost identical to Montblanc Explorer.
I think you are the first reviewer to get this in
Not really like the 10th I’ve seen other last week and early this week

Like a summer version of aventus that’s pretty well balanced. I will be picking this one up for my holiday next week 🤙
Yea this should not have been slowly released like it was. I wanted this back in JUNE.
I smelled this in store and on the initial smell it smelled like freshly squeezed oranges, I didn't like it at first but then 20 minutes later or so it smelled so amazing and I'm regretting I didn't buy it 😔
I tested it a few times and had to go back and get it lol 😂
Worked out alright though because I ended up With 25% off on a 200ml bottle 🤦🏻
I wonder what took it this long to release. Thanks for this review, Dallas!
Just in time for the end of summer! Haha
I wonder if would be good for laying with other stuff ?
I was afraid it was a heavy perfume, instead I was impressed, but from 1 to 10 my rating is 6
Is the citrus opening as sharp as Aoud Lemon Mint or Light Blue Forever?
The 24 fragrances entry are they decants or the actual bottles??
Can we get a list of linear scents or close to it for those that wear solely on clothes and/or can't spray on skin?
Thank you as yeah been looking forward
Why release it when summer over?
Dallas, you and gents scents remind of shams and woj 😂😂😂 always trying to one up the other with the new drops.
So its mont blanc explorer. Nice.
Great summer release, ill buy it in may
How can I get a sample
I'm happy you have it...
Thank you Dallas, great job as usual! I want to try it out. Stay safe brother SOTD POLO RED RUSH
Great job Dallas
