I'd prefer to get this over an Aventus clone to be honest. This might be a disappointment to fragheads because of the similarities to aventus, but 90% of the general public haven't worn/smelled Aventus so this might a pleasant surprise to them. I'll get one if I can find a good deal.
It’s already £95 for 200ml at some places in sales … I’m digging it …. Fresh … clean … nice explorer like dry down … projects and lasts … loved wearing it to be honest it’s really refreshing and just pops 🤷🏻♂️
@@terranceburgess9170 montblanc explorer is definitely nice , I find them similar but not identical, the citrus in the energy is much more life like and zesty and the dry down on energy is more “airy “ than explorer - both are great scents ✌🏼
This is why I love Ross, legit one of the only people that are saying it smells good (as others are too) but that it has no Eros in it. Not mad, just disappointed. Make a new line/fragrance if you're not going to tie it into said line.
I tried this today. The opening is very strong lemon…too strong! The dry down smells great. It has good longevity which is surprising b/c most fragrances are faded out after 2-3 hrs. on me. Overall, I like it..
Hey Ross, got my bottle a couple of days ago. Took it out for a test drive yesterday, it is definitely different from the other versions which I am happy about!! About!! The opening is extremely lemony, but the dry down is nice and the longevity is pretty good I would give it a thumbs up!! Love your channel. Keep up the great work. Ross!! God bless!!
For me, there are a lot of freshness from the Eros. Same thing with Flame but different in a kind of way. Really love the explosion of citrus and zest.
Tried this yesterday. I actually like this. Smells like a cross between Aventus COLOGNE and Mont Blanc Explorer. LOVE the oak moss dry down. Can’t wait to get this when the price goes down on discounters. Next summer is gonna get a NEW Energy surge from me! 😊😊
I want to get my nose on this one. Sad to hear it doesn't have that core Eros DNA though. I was really hoping for a sweet citrus heavy Eros. Also not sure why Versace released a summer fragrance at the end of summer. But I guess it works out because by the time next summer rolls around it'll be on discounters at a good price lol
I bought it at full retail and Im happy with it got lemonade aventus at 1st but now that you say Aventus cologne which is my favorite aventus I totally agree and am happier with my purchase
Im no perfumer by no means, but its not hard to envision a freshie eros. Amp up the mint and geranium, tone dow the sweet bubblegum accords, add the juicy citrus blast, a litttle ginger and there you have it, a fresher eros. Also the oakmoss and patchouli too, because yes.
I think if it has more in depth of some green aromatic spicy like Eros edt & edp, then it will get less hate. This eros energy is just simply straight up citrus bomb with smoky drydown. It just need another layer of accord to fill the perfume body. I dont hate it but I get why some fraghead might be a lil dissappoint with this flanker. If versace wanted to release another Eros Energy, a Parfum maybe, they might need to put another complexity or accords into it.
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. 👍🤔
Great point on the marketing strategy with bottling it as an Eros flanker. I’m sure this smells really good but another Aventus twist is starting to get old. Woulda been interesting to have the Eros dna with the citrus if they could do it right. That woulda been impressive
I bought this instantly when i saw it was released near me because im a citrus lover. i like it but i think it would be better and more unique if they added vanilla and some sandalwood. this really doesnt have anything to do with eros.
Don't bother with Aventus Cologne, lasts like 4 hours and costs what...220€? Explorer is an Aventus clone, good for if you work in an office or you want to stay home and not go out but still smell nice, that's how I see it. Eros Energy is perfect for going out on a summer day, as it's already priced at 65€ for a 100ml, I'm getting it now and maturing it for the summer 🤤😁 This is going to be a banger 🏄🏖️
Damn this sounds like something I'm going to love. I know that most people love the original Eros dna, but it's a little too much for me. I actually prefer Guess 1981 Los Angeles. But this is intriguing
Based on reviews and the fact I don’t own Aventus or Aventus Cologne, I bought the smaller bottle on Sephora’s web site. According to full reviews, the vanilla comes later in the dry down
I’m one of the very few who doesn’t dig Eros in any concentration. This one I am keen to try. I bought the ‘best’ CDMI LE Parfum and thought it was only meh. I much prefer Explorer despite its performance shortcomings. Haven’t tried Aventus. I’ll check this out when it comes to Sephora. Thanks for this.
I might get this. I don’t like Eros DNA so this might be up my alley. You know it’s sad that Aventus used to be special but now since everyone has done it to death it’s not. No wonder people go for vintage batches.
It’s a good fragrance. It’s going to get hate like most flankers cop. I get aventus cologne but that is not a bad thing right? Great price for an EDP. Can’t go wrong 😎
The opening smell just like Club de nuit intense man like no joke they are 90% similar with the lime like smell when i first smell it was wondering if the store lady was playing a trick on me cause it smell like Cdnim in a different bottle but the dry is where its differ
I get where people saying aventus like it smells like a nice lemon drops candy had it on skin about 4 hours but on my shirt it's was like 8 hours but the dry down smells like Montblanc Explore
That's a bummer that eros energy is more of a Aventus style fragrance than a fresher take on the eros dna. Thanks for the insight over this new flanker ross!
i always hated the original eros, thats why i love this. i can finally get my bottle of eros in a dna i love. its a better smelling montblanc explorer tbh. ppl are hating for no reason other than "its a aventus clone" still a very well done one.
I definitely enjoyed it to me. You could definitely smell citrus that orange and then afterwards that dry down that dry down is where it smells like creed ….. or better yet “ intense noir for men” by sapil that would be the dry down. Now noir is not a clone of creed but hyper intense of the dry down which is the woody notes with a citrus and Viver profile …….
I just checked it myself today and I have nothing but contempt for it. I was hoping for sth. like eau givree but boy what a letdown, way to sweet, nothing interesting stands out. I respect your view though.
Too sweet? Either you're looking at my NWO tattoo or you must hate almost all designer fragrances in the last 10 years if you think this is sweet lol. I would avoid literally everything at Macy's for men if this is too sweet for you.
Versace is the ONLY one who hasn’t raised their prices the last year or so. Plus they stay responsible even at retail. Maybe this should of been released under the “Man Eau Fraiche” line
This is so funny how people are already complaining about the new Rasasi Hawas Black being 68 dollars but here's another example of an overpriced designer release and this sounds like it's not even a true flanker other than the bottle shape
😂 the decant comment, hey you called it a first impression. I’m guessing you won’t get any heat. Nailed it…above CDNIM with the juicer lemon/citrus, drying down to an Aventus Cologne esque mass appealing scent. Versace will sell a ton of these…I’ll wait until it’s $60-$70
1. No Eros DNA 2. Smells like real fruit lemon, lime, orange 3. Dry down smells like citrus clippings and leaves 4. Not complex like Eros or flame, basically no third layer. 5. It's no pineapple so doesn't smell like explorer. 6. Layer it with some ginger or vanilla scents and thank me later. I can't give it more than an 8 because it doesn't have a third layer. But as someone who grew up with citrus trees this is the citrus king. Layer it with Eros edt or flame.
😂 the decant reviewer line had me rolling. Randy gets a lot of flack for that. I think it's perfectly fine to review from a decant. I wish it had a little bit more of the Eros dna.
Lmao I don't like decant reviewers myself at all cus sometimes whatever is in the lil vial will spoil the fragrance. Happened to me with a decant of Guess 1981, I was like "aaaah alright nvm it's just a cheapie and that's why it's like this" But then tried it from an actual bottle, as my younger sibling gifted it to me on my birthday, and holy crap it did NOT smell like it did with the decant...it was a whole nother fragrance that was crazy smooth.
There's almost no geraniol in the formulation with this one. This is probably trying to, as you said, capitalizing on the Eros name, it's something entirely different that's sort of trying to get the Aventus scent profile, but not really. Not bad, not good, nothing new.
I have Aventus Cologne and love it so I’m definitely interested in checking this out. Might be a good throw on work/errand running alternative to the expensive AC.
Got me a bottle yesterday. It smells amazing. The chicks will follow you. Banger. Don’t let the haters fool you.
100% mate in a years time this still be talked about highly like Dylan blue … it’s a great citrus scent 👌🏼

I’ll check it out in my local Sephora. I have an avenue cologne before I knew clones were “a thing” . Fine Accoutrements’s Platinum.

I just get monte blanc explorer
@@terranceburgess9170 montblanc explorer is definitely nice , I find them similar but not identical, the citrus in the energy is much more life like and zesty and the dry down on energy is more “airy “ than explorer - both are great scents ✌🏼
Been a long time since I visited your channel but glad im still subscribed to it
Just tried this at Dillard's, 💯 agree didn't get any Eros DNA or Aventus vibes. It smells like a very good fresh citrus heavy fragrance.
One of the most balanced first impressions out there, pure and simple. Thank you.
This is why I love Ross, legit one of the only people that are saying it smells good (as others are too) but that it has no Eros in it. Not mad, just disappointed. Make a new line/fragrance if you're not going to tie it into said line.
Totally agree Ross. I tried it and its versaces version of aventus/explorer. Being that I own both don’t see the need to pick this one up.
Great review as always! Not feeding into outside noise and being real and fair. Appreciate the great video as always

Mannn I can’t wait till u review or give a first impression on Centaurus & Delphenius. I think their both fire🔥🔥
I did in a dedicated livestream to them about 2 weeks ago. It's under the live tab on my page
@@TLTGReviews bet💯 thanks
Great balanced review as always 👌🏻 dissapointing there is no Eros tie in, but im keen to try it.
Great review brother!
this seems like a good gym fragrance from versace, probably going to hit it up at a discounter in the winter

Nice review love the video Ross stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Nicely done Ross!

A citrusy Montblanc Explorer!!
better to get Explorer cuz Versace is probably 2-3x more
I'm glad it smells good, but I wish is was in the flanker line of things incorporating the Eros DNA.
Can't wait til this hits discounters.
I get where people saying aventus like it smells like a nice lemon drops candy had it on skin about 4 hours but on my shirt it's was like 8 hours but the dry down smells like Montblanc Explore

Eros flame best in the lineup
You knew damn well I’d be watching😂
lol...I figured
@@TLTGReviews what is the best Aventus cologne Clone out there besides this Eros energy ? I’m looking to buy ASAP. Love your videos too brother!
Fresh Eros would have been fire 🔥! I’ll wait on getting this for sure and I’ll get the 5oz 😂 if available ❤
My recap of this fragrance. Lemon stems 65% of the fragrance and a mist or touch of creed Aventis 35%.
I’m really tired of everyone D riding Aventus. This is probably my favorite take on the DNA but I’m still disappointed it’s not what we expected
I definitely enjoyed it to me. You could definitely smell citrus that orange and then afterwards that dry down that dry down is where it smells like creed ….. or better yet “ intense noir for men” by sapil that would be the dry down.
Now noir is not a clone of creed but hyper intense of the dry down which is the woody notes with a citrus and Viver profile …….

Too sweet? Either you're looking at my NWO tattoo or you must hate almost all designer fragrances in the last 10 years if you think this is sweet lol. I would avoid literally everything at Macy's for men if this is too sweet for you.
@@TLTGReviews True. I do consider 75% designers post 2015 too sweet.
I figured lol. All good. It just eliminates alot of designers for your taste
Eau Givree is exceptional. Agreed this is too sweet
Versace is the ONLY one who hasn’t raised their prices the last year or so. Plus they stay responsible even at retail. Maybe this should of been released under the “Man Eau Fraiche” line
Does this last longer than Aventus Cologne? Longevity on AC is terrible
I don’t get Aventus at all. Ross have you smelled lemon head candies? It smells just like them! I’m torn bc I’m not sure I wanna smell like candy lol
We Decant reviewer boyz out here, we dem boyz !
I would like to have a Decant of that. Where could I find it?
go to dillards and get a carded sample. a friend decanted this for me as stated
Maybe it will layer well with Eros, Flame, or CDNIM?
A parfum version of flame would be killer if they ever drop it
What up Ross I love explorer it’s my everyday scent is this a go out and get it fragrance?
😭😭😭 I'll smell it eventually but if it doesnt smell like eros then its just a disappointment for me 😭😭😭
I’ve got Aventus, Terre D’Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver, and Perseus. I’m going pass on this one.
Should have been in the Signature/Dylan Blue style bottle
I really enjoyed it. I’ll buy it. I hope people don’t like it.
I love me some Aventus Cologne....Im gonna wait until it gets discounted and ends up at TJ MAXX !!!🤣🤣
One of the few I trust
This is so funny how people are already complaining about the new Rasasi Hawas Black being 68 dollars but here's another example of an overpriced designer release and this sounds like it's not even a true flanker other than the bottle shape
They crapping all over a fragrance they ve not smelled b4, pathetic.
It's nice, But on my skin after the dry down it smells like Montblance Explorer. I did not get any Eros at all
You get more of the woody with the dry down
I will get this when the 200ml is at discounters for $80.
Have not smelled this yet but from the way everyone is describing it sound like a citrus mimosa lol ! Im probably gone blind buy lol
😂 the decant comment, hey you called it a first impression. I’m guessing you won’t get any heat.
Nailed it…above CDNIM with the juicer lemon/citrus, drying down to an Aventus Cologne esque mass appealing scent. Versace will sell a ton of these…I’ll wait until it’s $60-$70

I love aventus cologne but don’t have it. If I buy Eros energy do I need to buy aventus cologne ?
still worth sampling both
I get Mont Blanc Explorer from it also so I can’t see playing that vast of a price for it
Smelled Valentino Gold too new one was alright was disappointed

When Armaf CDN does it smells like lemon pledge but Versace does it and it’s great?!😂
I love CDNIM. Especially the LE Parfum. Thanks for watching
How easy would it have been to add a pinch of mint and apple… just to nod to the og dna…

This smells exactly like Dior Homme Sport 2021!!
I disagree, but thanks for watching
Got a sampler of it not a fan Lemon Bomb way too much Lemon 🍋
Sounds like a poor job at flankering...
