The fragrance is frequently compared to Versace Eros and the original La Nuit de L'Homme, though many enthusiasts consider it a smoother, more refined middle ground between the "clubbing" profile of the former and the "date night" profile of the latter.

Opinions are somewhat divided between those who appreciate the modern, synthetic "blue" freshness added to the line and purists who feel the "electric" fruity sweetness moves too far away from the dark, spicy roots of the original 2009 release.
