Eros Eau de Parfum

@Dior Sausage.....Practically every men's fragrance YouTube reviewer having a distinguished level of reputation/ credibility has reviewed and rated the edp as a marginally less sweet, deeper and "more mature" version of Eros edt. .....recommending the edp for guys who have moved beyond the edt (aged out of it) and are now older, even into middle-age. I actually owned a bottle of the OG edt from 2017 to about 2019 and sprayed it on EXTREMELY light just to be able to wear it (being middle-aged)---eventually "giving up on it" because I decided it was just too sweet and playful smelling for my age. Actually though, the fact is that BOTH of us CAN be "RIGHT" here (and that is really the POINT of my original post).....Check it out: Let's compare what was done to "change" the edt to make the edp more mature: Yes, they removed the green apple to add candy apple (as PART of the top notes), BUT--in the stronger and longer-lasting mid-- they removed a HUGE amount of SWEET tonka bean (see edt note pyramid) and added some herbal clary sage. Then (in the base), they took out the vetiver, added even more woods (well documented), bitter orange, and notably leather and patchouli to further add to its "maturity". The fact is, Eros EDT may well go down in perfume history as the greatest "clubbing" fragrance ever! AND, if it's true that Versace has now reformulated the edt in the past years, being evidently weaker than before, it makes sense that "clubbers" would prefer the edp for performance (usually spraying on more than "normal"). BUT, is the edp "For clubbers only!"?? Absolutely not. And here's where I differ with you just a bit. In a club "especially with all of the other fragrances in the air", no one will probably notice the difference in wearing the edp vs. the edt. But worn in a normal setting, in my opinion--along with noted fragrance reviewers--the edp is definitely a more mature fragrance BEST suited for wearers 26 and older. Finally, I simply LOVE the Eros dna, compliments aside. But--to @Dior Sausage's point, because it IS a sweet creamy men's fragrance regardless the concentration, I have ALWAYS recommended that men try it before they buy it. And because all Eros is both sweet with solid performance, I typically apply 2 to 4 sprays a fair distance AWAY from my skin for greater dispersion, and a lighter application for best results (presenting less of its sweetness and more of its mature elements).

I thought about this fragrance at least twice a week since I first sampled and reviewed it months ago. Honestly the main thing holding me back was its contemporary connotations, but I said fuck it and I finally snagged a bottle like a couple weeks ago. Oh yeah, best frag purchase of my life so far and my new signature scent I DONT EVEN CARE Someone once compared the sillage of this fragrance to a puff of icing sugar + Axe/"locker-room musk" and I agree... to me it's like a shaving cream and metal-sugar type beat, with an accord that reminds me of mens deodorant (think the Nivea men silver protect roll-on!)... Cooling/fresh and a little metallic but still with some density and sweetness to it. A freshie with some actual weight and power, and sweet without being cloying or really sugary. Smooth too, not powdery. I love it, it's a perf braindead reach (so versatile, all-occassions, not dtm or plain, just nice), I just don't have any complaints whatsoever! I also find it really projects well (hell yeah), and lasts nicely, you definetly don't need to overspray this. I actually find it's easy to overapply lol. This makes the already reasonable price point even better, totally worth the bucks. I'm a woman but this is like my signature scent indefinetly... It's a little masculine sure, but I don't care. (I dress more unisex so that contributes to it... I think girls can totally pull it off but, but probably not hyperfems) TL;DR: Shaving cream with icing sugar mixed in and men's deodorant metallic-ey fresh musk This is also actually my first fragrance to get complimented on; even my mother always notices and asks me what I'm wearing, saying it smells nice and that I smell expensive, and she's a picky judgemental person with hate in her heart and evil in her soul. Hell yeah Versace Eros Update: yeah really gives me a reliable scent bubble with like 1-2 sprays, gosh I notice it and love it, and so will other people!!! Some little kid sniffed the air and then like kept sniffing while inching closer to my legs and sniffing me bro (yes I spray my calves/ankles) it was so fucking funny. Don't do like more than 3 sprays and walk into an elevator on god you'll kill everyone.

OKAY SO... This is popular so im going to do my best to break it down... This is a fragrance where you really have to focus and be in the moment in order to pick out each note. It openes with a Minty , citrusy scent which weirdly enough I feel as it dries down , the citrus does wear off a fair bit as that mint is quite primary to the rest of the notes.. The green apple isnt NOTICEABLE but its not invisible, its just a touch of sweetness. I cant really smell the sage or geranium but the ambroxan is doing wonders for making this last long. When it's dried down, its this lovely woody vanilla with a slight overtone of freshness. Its not Armani SWY type vanilla, its soft, and relaxing. It is a party scent sure, but can be worn for casual wear and every day wear too, I dont go to clubs or Parties and I wear this casually and it suits so many occasions. Its a social fragrance for sure, but you dont have to be a party animal... Can also wear for office days LIGHTLY otherwise youre cooked. Depending who you are as a person and how you style yourself, you could be 30 and wear this , dont need to be some sort of clubbing player that everyone refers this fragrance too as said before. Id say between the ages of 13-30 you could style this fragrance. There's option and the fragrance compliments your style so if youre older youre not smelling like a 13 year old kid or on the flip side, a full grown adult. the good thing about eros is if you want this smell and just want a more refined , mature profile, you can go up a notch to the parfum or eros flame, but the EDP has an amazing median and performance is nearly nuclear for me . Atomiser is strong too you will run out quickly if you like it no idea why but the sprays are big price - 8/10 , love this thing practicality - 8/10 , so versitile perfomance/projection - 9/10

Eros EDP......Only for clubbing?? This is a general response to @lovetribes's #1 rated review here of Eros EDP (under the link "Positive Reviews" above)---where he conveys that the edp is renewed and extremely improved.....yet "not a real change" from the edt. Also stating within his review that because he "loves high performance" .....Eros edp is the "King of Clubs", ending his commentary with the definitive statement that the edp is "Only for clubbers." And while I totally understand the reason for his post's popularity in "sending a signal" to all of the clubbers out there that the edp is potentially a better alternative to the often surmised notion that the OG edt has been reformulated and neutered a bit of its well-regarded performance, I disagree with the "message implied" for the MANY here that may well take his #1 review to heart---And NEVER try the edp. (I also want to be clear that I'm quite fine that @lovetribe posted just the way he did, because he had his own personal ideas in mind FOR the edp, and HIS audience). However, Eros EDP was not primarily designed by Versace to attract more clubbers. Just the opposite. It was upgraded and reformulated to an edp as the next logical step in marketing to and attracting the demographics of males that were in fact either "aged out" of the original edt, or for those who were even older thinking that the edt had always been too sweet and playful, or a "clubbing" fragrance. Without covering what is already extensively covered in my review of the edp (dated 3/22/23), in short the edp is marginally less sweet, more mature smelling, with arguably a bit less projection than the edt, and most importantly best suited for those aged about 26 and UP. I'm a middle-aged dad with teenagers and I absolutely LOVE Eros edp!

TL;DR Smells exactly like Sauvage + 1 Million Elixir layered: fresh mint and super smooth sugar with a apple nuance Sampled: Smelled like showergel (in the best way) in the opening and when it settled... Ok so this smells like Dior Sauvage (mint leaves and pepper) and Rabanne 1 Million Elixir (super smooth sugar with osmanthus, apple-ey, vanillic depth) layered on top of each other and I think that's really funny and also really nice. I mean it really does makes sense considering the notes, just take a look! I really like this, I like Sauvage and I loooove 1ME, heyy it's like I can layer them for the price of one. Genuinely, it's really nice. If it wasn't for its contemporary connotations I feel like this would make a good office scent if you don't overspray (of course), I mean it's just clean and fresh and sweet with a little kick. I think this is a masc-leaning unisex. Yeah I'm a girl and I dunno if I'll buy but I would definetly wear this. Wtf is wrong with me Every single time I go out sampling mens fragrances to find stuff to recommend my boyfriend I always like it better on me than he probably ever will on himself Small edit: I think I sell it short in this review, I wanna emphasize I honestly love this fragrance and think about it all the time, it's signature scent worthy for me. I just don't own it because of it's associations/bad popularity. One day I'll just say fuck it and cop I'm sure lol
