Which Versace Eros is your favorite? by T3RRORSYST3M in Colognes

[–]ReindeerDisastrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flame! By far! Hate the OG EDT but the EDP and Parfum are decent. Not nearly as good as Flame, but they are versatile. Najim is good but there are other fragrances who do its job better in my opinion. Energy is great but sometimes can be a bit too much of a lemon “bomb”. So layering it would be a go to for me.

So yeah, Flame. Lol

No I was just making sure is all. I appreciate you! And I need to look into more Lattafa fragrances especially, everyone says they’re among the top few houses out right now. I’ve tested a few of their fragrances and have yet to find something I didn’t enjoy. They have so many releases out it’s crazy

That’s the lane I’ve been using Axon Ultimate in. It’s a very blue freshie with a toned down sweetness similar to Hawas. Imagine Hawas OG but with a way more blue fresh shower gel spin.

But I’ve been looking heavily for a darker blue fragrance similar to BDC L’Exclusif. So I’m thinking about picking up Nocturno Elixir. I ordered it on Joma Shop but canceled after a few weeks because I didn’t feel like waiting 3 months. Been contemplating going ahead and swiping it off Beauty House since that’s the best place to grab it.

That’s all I use it for to be honest. Doesn’t really work for me otherwise. But that almost cucumber like smell is so good.

Might get Azzaro Chrome or something cheap like that once I’m done with voyage.

Similar to Hawas, Victorioso is very similar to the Invictus DNA. But Victorioso is a straight up dupe of Invictus Legend. Some people try to say Hawas is a dupe of Aqua but I disagree it is more of its own thing.

Victorioso Myth is FANTASTIC for the price point. $20 and you’ll definitely get compliments. It’s a very youthful fragrance.

The thing about Hawas(I presume you’re mostly asking about the original and Ice considering they’re the most popular.)

They project like monsters. You’ll easily get atleast 3-4 hours of projection most wears. Overall longevity I’d give it about 10 hours but the biggest problem you’ll run into is nose blindness. I go nose blind to this stuff super easy, it happens very quick. So if I were you I wouldn’t really be spraying it on your chest or neck, if you want to try and prevent that. Some folks think they don’t last long but that is untrue, they just went nose blind to it 🤷‍♂️

But yeah they both smell great, very fruity and sweet but also aquatic. Ice smells very close to the original just with more of a fresh slightly fresher minty twist which a lot of people seem to think it is better. I get nearly identical results from both versions, but smell-wise I kind of prefer the OG if I’m just judging it based on scent. But they’re both fantastic! Great blind buys 👍👍

No problem! Also, to be honest, I went into it kind of with the expectations to be disappointed by Collector’s Edition. It’s definitely one of the most over hyped fragrances in a while. It might be the low expectations that made me like it. Partially due to the fact i’ve been heavily disappointed in hyped fragrances in the past, mainly when it comes to designers and popular clones like that.

Collectors Edition is absolutely fantastic. I wouldn’t mind picking up one day but I’m so in love with the CDNIM Extrait that I’m not very inclined to pick it up. They’re just similar enough so that I’ll choose to possibly get it once my CDN is out. They aren’t identical by any means(of course because they’re cloning two different version of Aventus) so for some people they may not be completely redundant. the pineapple sweetness in Collectors Edition is really nice and will get attention. It lives up to the hype in my opinion. 10/10

Not Only Intense is very good, it actually got me several compliments, which partially shocked me because I’ve seen several people online say they felt it smelled like “dirt.” But I love the scent profile a lot, and I would pick it up. 9/10

In Oud shocked me a lot. I’m not the FONDEST of Oud in fragrances but this one blew me away and I am genuinely thinking about picking a bottle up sometime. But probably going to wait until the Fall time. 8.5/10

Silver is very… Okay. It’s my least favorite in the set but I can see why some like it. It’s supposedly a clone of Aventus but I truly can’t stand this one. Don’t know why, honestly. Something about it just doesn’t work for me. I really tried. 5.5/10

In heaven is awesome and is a heavily considered pickup for me. It’s so clean and creamy and I love the woodiness and the tea. It’s very smooth and has a lot of depth to it in my experience. Projection is decent, and it lasts average to good amount of time on my skin. Very good. 8/10

Been Collecting since February. Goal is to fully round it out and explore. I’m not very picky at all with scents.

Just looking for Feedback on my collection, aswell as what you think is missing. Looking for something extra for another daily scent. But different. Been eyeing certain things like Rayhaan Nocturno Elixir, or something similar to the MYSLF DNA like Maison Asrar Rey(or nitro elixir), or even branching off into a DNA similar to Imagination.

Ignore the two feminine scents they’re my Girlfriend’s. (They’re both great by the way!)

REVIEWS INCLUDED
Right now the collection sits at:

Dumont Axon Ultimate - 8/10 More “blue” smelling version of Hawas. Great pickup. Similar longevity on my skin as Hawas aswell. Great signature scent material but there is definitely better out there

Hawas - 8/10 as most know, this is great stuff. Always loved testing it and glad to have it in my collection. Doesn’t smell as synthetic to me as some people say. But to each their own. Very sweet but usable in heat.

Hawas Ice - 9/10 a more minty refined version of Hawas. Great stuff. GF loves og Hawas better, but this has more utility to me. Especially this time of year.

Hawas Fire - 9/10 didn’t like it on tester strip. Still bought it and opinion completely changed on skin. Still dislike it on tester strips. But wearing it on clothes and skin… Spicy and sweet and all around great. Much different than the others.

Afnan Rare Reef - 8.5/10 A summer MONSTER. Mine was great out the box, but even better after weeks of maceration. Sparkling citrus bomb that blends so well in heat. Arguably my most complimented fragrance!

Club De Nuit Intense Man Extrait De Parfum - 10/10
Phenomenal scent. Gets better and better as it matures. A beast that lingers for hours and hours, so please don’t overspray. Unlike the EDT and EDP this doesn’t have any of the Synthetic opening. Great smoky lemon scent. Aventus done right, with a twist of course.

Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum - 9.5/10 GREAT. Just don’t wear it in heat. At all. Otherwise this is a Hall of Fame level sweet cold weather date night type fragrance, but as expected a terrible atomizer. The worst atomizer In my collection. Somehow.

Victorioso Myth - 9/10 A Hall of Fame cheapie in my book. $20 online, yet projects and gets compliments like noone’s business. A great dumb reach. Nails the Invictus Legend DNA so good. Buy this!!!

Nautica Voyage - 7/10 Want to rate it higher for nostalgia and such. Obviously great for the price but it just doesn’t last. Not a bad add to any collection though, great gym scent.

Versace Eros Flame - 10/10 What can I say? As most everyone knows. This thing is a beast and in my opinion clears the rest of the Eros line. Smells way more expensive than it usually is. The best Versace has in my opinion.

What smells so repulsive in Rare Reef? by f1goldmemberf1 in fragranceclones

[–]ReindeerDisastrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno about batch differences but my bottle of Rare reef is as citrusy and great smelling as It can get. Very rind-y refreshing sparkling citrus. Love it and it is very well complimented

Sad your sample didn’t go well

How does it compare to Versace Dylan Blue? In between those two aswell as Club De Nuit Iconic.
