Lovers of bold, passionate fragrances, listen up: Versace have made an exciting addition to their beloved collection for men, Eros Parfum. It takes you on a sensory journey of hot spice, fresh zestiness and deeply woody tones that exudes confidence and passion from the get-go. I love the way it dives between warm spices and fresh aromatic notes, creating a sophisticated masculine scent that is bold without being overwhelming – anyone wearing Eros is sure to get noticed for all the right reasons!
This Fragrance Smells Like…
Combining fresh citrus fruit with aromatic spice, Eros opens with a combination of zesty lemon and mandarin, which is complemented by a rush of black pepper. The fresh, lemon-like note of litsea cubeba and the clean aroma of elemi oil nuance the top notes before the heart of sage oil and lavender adds a more herbaceous, aromatic twist. A slight natural sweetness rises from the heart as pomarose and geranium add to the scent. Finally, the base explores a rich, sensual combination of benzoin, vanilla and patchouli, which creates a smooth velvety feel as Versace Eros Parfum warms on your skin.
What’s The Story Behind This Scent?
As Eros Parfum journeys from its vibrant citrus top notes to its warm, vanilla-laced base, it unveils its sensuous and confident side, which feels completely in fitting with its inspiration: the god of love, Eros.
You Will Love This If…
If you loved the original Eros Eau de Toilette but you’re looking for something that has an even more aromatic tone, and feels slightly more smooth and creamy as it develops, you will love Eros Parfum.
This Perfume Smells Similar To:
Eros Parfum is similar to both Eros Eau de Parfum and the original Eau de Toilette, however Eros Parfum centres around yet more herbaceous notes and has an added richness and creaminess compared to its predecessors.
If you’re unfamiliar with the original, then I’d say that Versace Eros Parfum feels reminiscent of an outdoor setting at the height of summer, like a breeze blowing through a herb garden – and maybe you have an ice cream in hand.
Is Versace Eros Parfum Unisex?
There is a classic masculine feel to Eros, though its complex note structure could be enjoyed by anybody who loves citrus-aromatic signatures, especially as its dry down isn’t overpowering.
What’s The Longevity Like?
Versace Eros Parfum is a long-lasting scent; it loses its initial citrusy tone as the day goes on, but I was still able to appreciate its warm ambery side over six hours after I first applied the fragrance.
What’s Special About The Bottle?
The geometric glass bottle is an opulent celebration of Versace, with 3D Medusa and Gerca details protruding from a deep ocean blue. The gold accents make the fragrance feel like the height of luxury.
