Rating of 7.8 should rather be 6.0

Upon spraying, it first has a sharp alcohol scent, then creamy, sweet, with citrus in the mix. The magic fades after a short time, the base becomes warm, vanillic, and broad. Longevity is around six to seven hours, sillage is moderate - not far to explore. An inexpensive Eros clone, quite nice for a start.

An affordable alternative

With this dupe, La Rive has hit the nail on the head as it closely resembles the scent Eros by Versace. Not that it matters, but I bought it at Müller because I liked it so much without knowing it was a dupe. However, when I checked on Parfumo, it was immediately clear to me that this citrusy, minty, aquatic scent is really well captured by La Rive, and at a price that is one-tenth of the original price.
Really great and highly recommendable.

A Noticeable Increase in Quality

La Rive has always been known for affordable dupes and is an established brand in this area. For a long time, however, La Rive's fragrances struggled with several issues, such as a strong alcoholic note, poor longevity, or miserable bottles.
The first La Rive fragrance I acquired, namely La Rive Cabana, had to deal with exactly such problems. However, when comparing it to La Rive Colossus, one will find that a lot has changed in terms of quality over time at La Rive.
Enough with the preamble, let's get to the scent: Colossus starts with a fresh apple-mint note, and already in the opening, the vanilla and tonka bean are noticeable, giving the fragrance a certain powderiness.
The parallels to the original Eros by Versace are clearly recognizable, although my impression is that the opening of Eros is slightly more "explosive."
Over time, the fresh notes recede, and the vanilla note becomes more prominent.
The sillage is moderate, meaning the fragrance can be perceived from a bit of a distance, but it is definitely not room-filling. I would also say that the original performs slightly better in this regard.
The longevity is about 6-7 hours.
The bottle is extremely well done considering the price: The cap clicks in pleasantly and securely, the bottle is made of sturdy glass, and the design appears simple and timeless.
Conclusion: With Colossus, La Rive demonstrates that they are increasingly valuing quality, and one can only hope that La Rive will continue to pay attention to this in future fragrances. So, anyone looking for an affordable and well-executed alternative to Eros should take a closer look at Colossus!

Fruity and sweet, but not sticky thanks to the woody note. Base of tonka bean. A young man can wear it very well!°°°

Fresh and sweet.. A bit like lemon cake, but in a light way. Maybe not a party scent, but a "feel-good scent"

Definitely Versace Eros DNA. Hats off, well done! I like it. It has the same strong, piercing scent as the OG. Long-lasting. Really great for the price.
