Eros Flame by Versace

To me, it’s the best Eros: top projection and longevity. It’s versatile for day or night, but in extreme heat the vanilla can become overwhelming, so best to avoid that.

I’ve worn this for years and stopped for a while as it feels suffocating indoors, but it smells rich and masculine; just watch the sprays and timing. Lasts five hours projecting on me, though others say it doesn’t on skin. It has a serious, spiced character, nothing fun, but I love how it evolves from the opening to drying on the skin.

My best friend always wears this and I’ve tried it many times. People speak wonders of this designer, but don’t misunderstand, it’s not ugly… just overrated. It’s a caramelised mandarin, like a hard candy, without that magic many claim. If you’re looking for something similar, SWY Absolutely is definitely a better option.

Suitable for day and night, perhaps expensive for daily use but valid for special occasions. Without trying to draw attention, anyone who notices will praise it. It has a rich, addictive citrus and spiced scent. Worth having and I guarantee you’ll regret when the bottle is empty.

Mixed feelings. I’m not much of a fan of citrus but decided to try it. Is it great? No. Is it bad? Not at all. Is it the best in the Eros line? Not by a long shot. For me it’s a bit overrated. The opening of Flame is terrifying: sharp lemon and pepper that anaesthetises your sense of smell. The lemon is so strong it smells of detergent and no other notes are appreciated. It’s just lemon and pepper with a distant touch of tonka bean. Short and sillage-poor. The positive: longevity and trail are quite good. If you like citrus, welcome to the club; if not, totally forgettable as in my case.

I wasn’t a huge fan of its opening, but once it settles on the skin, it’s one of the richest scents I’ve tried recently. I love it.

An exquisite fragrance; it always earns compliments. I wish the longevity was better, as it fades to a skin scent after a few hours. If you like citrus, this is your perfume; it has a strong personality and is wrapped in a sweet base. Scent: 10/10, Longevity: 7/10, Projection: 7/10.

I’m on my third bottle; it’s the fragrance that has earned me the most compliments, at least on my skin. It develops much better in cold climates. The olfactive pyramid is quite distinct, and on me, it lasts an average of 10 hours on clothes during the day… over time, I learned to layer it with YSL Libre Intense. They share the same opening and base, and they boost each other in the heart with the floral notes. On me, it comes across as a sophisticated masculine fragrance.

My supplier received this perfume in 200ml for the sum of (inhalo) $52. I can hardly criticise it; for $52, I got this gem of perfumery. Longevity: 9.8/10. The Eros line performs very well on my skin; even the Energy lasts beautifully. Projection: 9.3/10; it projects wonderfully from my arms and neck. Excellent in that regard. Scent: 9.5/10. It’s an Eros EDP with pepper and quino. It reminds me of the gentle heat of shiso, my favourite ingredient in perfumery. Final note: 9.53. Absolute sexiness. I’ll never buy another Carolina Herrera again. Thank God for making me Argentine.

Of all my 35+ perfumes, this one always wins and becomes my favourite. I think that’s enough of a review in itself, haha. It’s super versatile; I’ve worn it to the gym and to parties. Longevity and sillage are good to average. I have a 200ml bottle that cost me $128, and I think it will be my first repurchase. It smells like creamy, sensual orange; highly recommended and all women love it.

It projects strongly with citrus and pepper notes, to the point of being scary if you over-spray, but magically after 10 minutes you barely notice it. Heavy sillage at first, then nothing… a rip-off, and I don’t think it’s fake because I bought it from Perfume’s Club. For things like this, Arabic perfumes are eating the toast of designer brands. In any case, Versace knows it doesn’t have a well-rounded product with these Eros scents and have been selling them at half the price of competing perfumes for some time.

This fragrance is unusual. At first, I didn’t like it at all; it felt too strong and sweet. But here’s the interesting part: after a month of first use, although it remained strong and sweet, it became more pleasant. After wearing it for a while, I loved it immensely; the quality of the notes is top-notch, you feel like you’re wearing a designer scent. What I detect most is a sweet mandarin opening, followed by rose and vanilla after an hour. After several hours, a delicious musky vanilla remains with a spectacular woody touch; longevity in my case is 6 hours, performing very well. In temperate to cold climates, I recommend a maximum of seven sprays. It can be worn in heat because it’s citrusy at the start, but as it develops it tends to become strong, so on hot days a maximum of four sprays to avoid being overwhelming (I disagree with those who say it disappears in 10 minutes; be careful with the number of sprays). Occasions: romantic date, dinner or parties, but even for everyday wear with fewer sprays. It’s not for blind buying; it’s rich and sexy, but could be overwhelming because it’s not a common or subtle scent that draws much attention. I highlight that it’s hard for people not to like it, but don’t overdo the sprays as it’s strong and I definitely don’t recommend it above 30°C on hot days. Overall, it’s very complimentary and you’ll surely receive compliments. Women love it. Recommended age +25 years, as it’s a bit more playful and not so simple in its composition. 9/10 for note quality, compliments and versatility. I would buy it again when I run out of what I have, and it lasts a long time with few sprays. I recommend it 100%, but I wish you tried it first to see if this DNA aligns with you.

It smells of orange, lemon, vanilla, and woods; all very pleasant… but be warned, there is an excess of pepper that doesn’t quite convince me. That pepper dominates everything else. By the time you apply it, it literally just smells of pepper. My advice: try it, wait an hour, and then decide whether to buy it.

I already own my second 200ml bottle, and it genuinely surprised me how versatile it is. It opens with citrus, specifically tangerine, yet possesses a warm base that captivates you immediately, giving it real character. It sounds youthful, but that spicy note makes it perfect for anyone over 24. It’s a gem and has now become my signature scent.

A solid, well-made fragrance. It is masculine but doesn’t smell basic or typical, despite its accessible price. It feels like an expensive orange liqueur that leaves a trail of smoky, spiced vanilla; very pleasant and not cloying. Perfect for casual occasions or a date to make a good impression. On my skin, it lasts about 2 to 3 hours with good projection, followed by another 5 hours with moderate projection, just enough so as not to annoy anyone.
