Eros by Versace

I found myself torn between this and Eros Flame. At first, it’s rich, but for about fifteen to thirty minutes, the notes feel off-balance; there’s a sharp lemon acidity that I didn’t like, so I went with Flame instead. Later, that lovely blend of green apple, mint, and vanilla emerges, which is excellent. If it were on a good price, I might consider buying it despite that initial hiccup.

I’d seen in collector groups that this was a staple and a favourite among many men, so I was curious to try it and now I understand why. I don’t know why most men I know prefer fresh, citrusy fragrances, but this certainly meets the criteria. What I didn’t find was the vanilla note; perhaps it’s just present in very small quantities.

Ideal for going out without pretensions. I’m quite demanding with this, as it’s the DNA I used a decade ago, and the reformulations haven’t helped due to poor performance. If you just want to smell nice and go unnoticed, this is your toxic: youthful, cool, asking for no attention, just smells good. I use it on sunny mornings or with informal outfits. It’s not bad, you just need to know when to wear it. I love it, but only in those moments.

It’s getting all the criticism, yet it’s the one that’s given me the most compliments, even compared to PDM or YSL. Honestly, women love it.

Hello! First review, hope it helps. Eros is youthful and takes you to the Greek pantheon, evoking gods and desire. It opens with soft mint and a potent, characterful lemon, though it fades quickly to give way to a sweet cocktail where tonka bean and vanilla dominate, adding joviality and masculinity. Technically, the performance isn’t the best: on my skin it projects for an hour, then sits close to the skin for another four hours, lasting about five in total. Ideal for exploring designer scents or starting a collection. Versatile, its best season is autumn and winter, though also suitable for mild afternoons or warm evenings. Thanks for reading 😀

Versace Eros, the Blue Beast! Opens with juicy lemon and green notes, feeling super clean. Underneath, a soft menthol gives way to incredible freshness. As it dries on the skin, that citrusy vanilla emerges without losing the menthol. It’s refined, nothing too loud, and it behaves beautifully. I have the EDP and it’s a treat: good projection and lasts 4–6 hours on skin, all day on clothes. For the bottle and the scent, 10/10.

It smells like an old cat from Puerto Madero. It’s crude and unpleasant, nothing more or less.

A youthful and charming fragrance, not just for parties. Despite its vanilla touch, it’s fresh and green, wearable all year round without issues. I wore it this summer and, unlike others, it didn’t feel heavy to me. It’s easy to like: even people who don’t know much about perfumes told me it was ‘the best cologne you’ve ever heard of’, and I have rivals who cast a good shadow. Despite its popularity, I haven’t smelled it on anyone else, not even in crowded places. I’ve noticed many repeated scents, but not this one. Plus, I have a special affection for it because I wore it on my last holidays; those memories add value.

If there’s a versatile fragrance, this is it! Simple and effective, ideal for all day. In any weather and occasion, the Eros EDT is worth it. It opens with a sparkling green apple and mint, sitting over a vanilla base that takes centre stage as it dries. It’s sweet, fresh at the start and warm at the end, simple and effective. Projection and longevity are moderate, and it’s available at a good price. A real workhorse!

Very tasty. The vanilla is noticeable in a masculine and authentic way. It’s very versatile for any occasion. It doesn’t have as much projection as I’d like, but I’m sure it’s appropriate for its aromas. It’s not overwhelming and is a fairly unique and familiar scent.

If reggaeton were a perfume, it would be Eros. Most people love it; it fits perfectly into a daily routine without you having to think, pure dopamine that slips easily into any nose. It doesn’t raise eyebrows or generate questions, it just sits there in the background. It recalls adolescence and is its natural habitat; it’s appropriate for school or first outings with friends, but it does feel a bit immature. I don’t see anyone over 25 wearing it regularly, but it’s not bad. There are stages in life where you simply seek pleasure and quick acceptance, and in that regard, it’s unbeatable. That’s why it receives so many compliments and is copied by cheaper fragrances, as its formula is simple with notes everyone likes: a blue-vanilla scent. The longevity felt normal, about 5 or 6 hours with good projection for the first hour, nothing extraordinary, but it meets the designer standard. Don’t use it in extreme heat because the vanilla is synthetic and can smell like plastic when mixed with sweat; use it in temperate climates. In summary, it’s not a bad perfume, it’s pleasant and appropriate, you’ll receive compliments by the bucketload, but its greatest virtue is its flaw: being a formula made to please and so successful, it suffers from being generic and smells immature. Some people get tired of it quickly and lose interest. There are those who simply want to smell good and this smells good, so it’s enough for them, but men seeking personality and depth will never be satisfied with something like Eros.

They’ve taken the potency away to give it to the EDP. That’s as simple as that. Killing your own fragrance and continuing to sell it (as happens with La Nuit de l’Homme, Bvlgari Man in Black and others from designer houses) should be illegal, but it turns out to be less ethical than sending an email asking for cash claiming you’re an African prince in trouble. I think consumers are quite neglected with these reformulations: when you sell something with the same brand, the same name, the same price and the same packaging, it should be the same as before, not the absolute rubbish they churn out every time. I ask myself: what are so many reviewers on social media for if then (almost) none of them warn about these things? Anyway… Interesting aroma (though less balanced than the EDP and Flame, which are better in every way). Longevity and projection almost non-existent. Don’t buy it. Aroma: 8. Projection: 5.5. Longevity: 3.5.

The scent is brilliant, but the longevity is a disaster: the sillage and projection are almost non-existent. Note, I tried the EDT, not the EDP, and although the aroma is top-tier, it’s gone in nothing.

I’ve had this fragrance for six months and, although it’s not bad, it doesn’t quite suit me. A synthetic vanilla with cedar predominates, smelling like that 80s room freshener called ‘Vanillo Cotorro’. It lasts about 4-5 hours. Although it’s a men’s fragrance, I feel it’s unisex. I only recommend it if you like pure vanilla; for women, something more feminine would be Vanilla Fields by Coty.

Excellent perfume that I used daily. The vanilla and green apple notes stand out a lot. The disappointment is the longevity; being an EDT, it lasts very little for its quality. Literally, a $20 perfume lasts longer.
