Today I will wear Lattafa's ASAD. They are the best 25 euros spent. It may be a blind purchase and you won't regret it. Have a nice weekend brothers

Hey Gents, Joe A. here with an exciting new release to talk about! This time, it's the highly anticipated addition to the Versace Eros line—Energy! As soon as I heard about it, I started saving up my allowance to grab it as soon as it hit the shelves. But then the early reviews came in, and... the excitement in the fragrance community seemed to fizzle out. I wondered why, until I started hearing those dreaded words every fragrance lover dreads: 'It's an Aventus clone.' Seriously? Not another one... So, I finally got my hands on it and made it my SOTD! Let me tell you, this is an amazing scent! It's a total citrus bomb—every kind of citrus you can imagine—but what stands out most for me is the lemon! I can also pick up notes of grapefruit, orange, and maybe even a hint of lime (even if that’s not an official note, that’s what I’m getting!) The opening does remind me of quite a few other fragrances, but Aventus wasn’t the first, second, or even third thing that came to mind. To me, this scent unfolds in two stages. The opening is bright, juicy, and energizing, lifting your spirits right away. It does fill the room, but it's enjoyable, almost giddy! After about two hours, as that initial opening fades, the underlying woods start to take center stage. The citruses and woods dominate for most of the wear afterwards. The projection starts off loud and bold but gradually softens to a more moderate, medium-to-soft level. The first fragrance that Energy reminded me of was Parfums de Marly’s Perseus, a recent release from the 'niche house with designer sensibilities.' Nope, Aventus didn’t come to mind—and that’s because Energy lacks that signature smoky birch undertone. Yes, there are woods, but they're more like clean, white woods. The next scent I thought of was CDNIM, mainly due to the lemon-heavy opening, but even that wasn’t quite right. Then there's Intense Cedrat Boise, but its mid and base deviate so much that I quickly ruled it out. In short, Energy is definitely not a clone, but it does belong to that classic 'Citrus/Woods' family!" (Hacivat, Morning Chess, Not Only Intense, PV The One Intense, Explorer, etc, etc, etc.)

What is the better bleu electrique clone in your opinion?

Hi gents, today is my birthday, and I want to treat myself with a perfume from Parfums de Marly. I've head a lot of great things about the house (I had a few samples from them a couple months back), and I need recommendations on what to get. Let me know your thoughts!

Today’s scent of the day. Have a great Friday gentlemen.
