Eros Parfum

I'm a middle-aged guy who started wearing the original Versace Eros edt in 2016. I absolutely LOVED its basic DNA from the start, but thought it was too sweet and youthful for my age when "normally" applied. So, determined to wear it, I would go light on the trigger and minimizing the application points it worked quite well for me for some years. When the edp version was released I just KNEW it would "fit" me well, and was definitely NOT disappointed upon first spray!......The edp is generally a bit less sweet than the edt, somewhat deeper--being more mature overall--and with otherwise essentially the same "structure" as the edt. With great anticipation, I recently tried a full wearing of the Parfum at my local Macys..... Impressions: First off, imagine the Eros DNA about as smoothed out as you POSSIBLY CAN. (ie. Yes, you CAN smell that it's Eros, but you sense that something's different and definitely more subtle--in a uniquely good way). Additionally, the Parfum is marginally deeper still and less sweet than the edp. The overall structure is what you would expect of a Parfum. Its smoothness and its depth create a pinnacle of maturity for any Eros fragrance so far. Sophisticated? Yes, but not extremely so, because after all we're still talking Eros. So if you are older than about 25 and this interests you, you should actually try it out first before you buy it. Why? Because notably what you don't get in the Parfum that you do get in the edp (and edt) are the "highlights" of the Eros DNA; exchanging that prominent and unforgettable sweet creamy airy traditional Eros vibe for a notably more refined, smooth, less sweet and mature Eros composition in the Parfum. (ie. Your decision as to which is best for you may not necessarily be an "easy" one).

I have a decant of the EDT and while it is interesting and obviously mass appealing, it is too juvenile for me other than for layering. To stay within that DNA I picked up Guess 1981 Los Angeles Pour Homme which nails the profile better for evening use and a bottle of English Laundry Oxford Bleu EDP which comes off more as an office safe version. To continue on deeper into the DNA, skewing towards maturity and sophistication I opted to get a bottle of the Parfum. The opening is minty lemon and a candied red apple, but nowhere near as sweet and obnoxious as the EDT is. The heart has a lovely earthy floral herbaceous to it with clary sage, geranium, and some amber. The base is a resinous grassy vanillic cedar. This comes off feeling far better blended than the EDT which has harsher transitions; this is extremely smooth. Great pickup.

Honestly after seeing the reviews this perfume was getting I was very skeptical on buying it although I saw a local seller selling it a price point which I could not refuse so I picked it up and wow! When I sprayed it I smelt a great blend of vanilla, warm spicy,citrus and some lovely apple note to it and I must say that this is a very good fragrance Despite the mixed reviews it has about how everyone has it,it should not stop you from buying it because the average person you'll meet rarely spray perfume atleast from where I'm coming from so you'll stand out in a way!.Honestly this is a 8/10 the only downside is that the perfume isn't very unique but it's still good for school,office wear and going out.

So, what can I say...ah yes...it's Versace. I really don't understand these things with "summer" "winter" fragrances, etc. When I like a fragrance, I don't care what season it is to enjoy it. Eros EDP is a Swiss army knife and definitely doesn't go unnoticed. He is a playful demon with a halo, horns and a seductive perverted look. In my opinion, this is a fragrance that perfectly combines Dylan Blue (my personal "best in the universe"), Blue de Chanel, Sauvage perfume and many more blue fragrances. Overall, a slightly sweet blue fragrance with very good longevity. I don't think there is a woman who wouldn't like it and can resist a demon in angelic clothing...What else the hell would a real man want!!!

My wife’s favorite—so I keep coming back to it. A uniquely fresh yet empowering scent; sporty yet regal; playful yet seductive at the same time. Bought the Parfum by accident (instead of the EDP) but didn’t look back. Still contains those citrusy and woody notes associated with the EDP, but here the vanilla, sage, geranium, and lavender are given more depth to create - one could say - a more mature variant. Exceptionally strong sillage, even with the greater oil to alcohol ratio. Longest lasting one in the bunch; I can still smell it faintly on my pulse points the next morning (even after a bedtime shower and 8hrs sleep)! And even that next morning it is just as addicting. 5/5
