Imperial Blue by RiiFFS captures the fresh citrus opening and gourmand heart of Eros reasonably well, with comparable green apple and mint brightness followed by tonka sweetness. However, the base lacks the complexity and depth of the original's dual cedar blend and refined ambroxan foundation, resulting in a flatter dry-down that fades faster. The overall composition feels more linear and less sophisticated than Versace's layered architecture.
Imperial Blue delivers a more straightforward, less nuanced interpretation with reduced longevity and sillage compared to the original. The base notes are simplified and less woody, missing the precise cedar interplay that gives Eros its signature refined masculinity.
What people who wear Riiffs Imperial Blue report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“The opening for the first sprays is a bit alcohol-y, but the drydown is pretty good. The top notes fade off pretty quickly, ending in a smooth woody smell that's almost creamy. Projection is pretty good, but it doesn't have the best longevity, maybe lasted 2 hours or so, but the scent remains on my skin for around 7 hours. Pretty versatile and great value.”
“Fairly decent clone of Versace Eros, very close & pretty hard to tell apart, sadly just like Eros performance just isn’t great, good for the first hour with some tame projection then quickly fades, the original Eros was good before it was reformulated, really this performs about the same as Eros so save yourself the money & just buy this, only paid £15 for my bottle so it’s dirt cheap, this would be epic if it lasted longer, but for the money it’s ok & doesn’t really perform any worse than my current bottle of Eros.”
“Picked this up for the low and it is an absolute win. Out of the box, it’s about85-90% close to Versace Eros EDT. The main difference is that it isn't as 'in your face' or screechy as the original; it's a bit smoother and milder. Longevity is decent (around 5-6 hours), but for the price, you can just overspray. I have a feeling that once I let this macerate for a few weeks, it’s going to turn into a total powerhouse. If you want the Eros DNA without the $100 retail price tag , this is a no-brainer.”
