I perceive the opening as one marked by a spicy and peppery bitter orange. The neroli also contributes to this and gives the opening some freshness, whereby I especially smell the pepper and the bitter orange. Within about 5 minutes the top note disappears and merges - in my opinion a bit too choppy - into the heart note; the moment of transition is very short. The oud itself I do not feel as animalistic or faecal, it rather goes into the medical direction and appears "noir" and woody and smoky, although it is also not, as mentioned, THE main theme of the fragrance. Versace is one of the leading international fashion design houses and a symbol of Italian luxury worldwide. Donatella Versace as Artistic Director continues Gianni Versace’s unique vision for the brand and reinforces its values and heritage through strong and fearless design. The super-brand includes fashion, footwear, must-have bags, jewellery, home furnishings and of course fragrance, each bearing the distinctive Medusa logo.

The heart is first of all shaped by saffron and then especially by a sweet incense - I love it (!) - I do not perceive cardamom personally. In my experience, incense is more likely to be perceived at a distance, and saffron is more likely to be perceived at close proximity to the skin. Through the present male sweetness (of the incense) this Versace fragrance slowly but steadily becomes warmer and more oriental, the incense, which I perceive until the end, makes him by its mysterious, smoky resinous, but also slightly sweet, effect to a "noir". This Oriental should be worn preferably in autumn and winter because of its warmth, heaviness and sweetness and is suitable for every occasion, but especially for going out and cold evenings and nights.

When it comes to choosing between the Versace Eros EDT and the EDP, there are a few differences to consider. While both scents have a similar scent profile, they’re designed for different occasions and preferences. The EDP version is more intense and longer-lasting, making it perfect for special occasions or a night out. On the other hand, the EDT version is a lighter, more refreshing fragrance that’s ideal for everyday wear and work. Let’s take a closer look at the key differences between the two scents and which one might be best for you. Which Versace Eros Lasts Longer? Eros, the God of love, whose arrow can make you fall in love, reaches the passionate heights of oriental obsession, from which an unprecedented desire emanates, to the limits of the forbidden. Now this is a traditional combination: oud and rose. But don't expect the same result as all other combinations based on these notes. Oud Oriental is more complex and subtle than that, and it's a gender-bender that will please all floriental lovers. Rose is the star of this creation, but it is masterfully distorted with freesia and violet to make it more spicy and sweet. This peppery, spicy-sweet rose makes the perfect pair for a very balmy and medicinal oud note that goes away with time, developing slowly on the skin and becoming slightly animalic (leather) towards the end. The sweetness of vanilla and heliotrope brings out the powdery aspect of Oud Oriental. However, they all have one thing in common: they’re all crafted with high-quality ingredients that represent the strength, masculinity, and sensuality of the Versace brand. In my opinion a very successful, woody and smoky oriental, in which the sweet incense interacts very well with the oud - here suitable for the masses - and thanks to the saffron also gets a certain spice.

Eros Parfum is a fragrance in line with vegan principles. The product contains no intentionally added animal products or animal-derived products such as dairy, eggs, bee products or animal enzymes. Base: Cedarwood Atlas and Virginia, Vetiver Orpur Essence (Haiti), Patchouli Coeur Orpur Essence (Indonesia), Sandalwood, Vanilla One thing to note about Versace Eros is that it’s excellent longevity and projection. This is likely due to the high quality of the ingredients used in the fragrance, as well as the skillful blending of these elements. It’s a fragrance that will definitely make an impact and leave a lasting impression on those around you. Whichever version you choose; you can be sure that you’re wearing a masterpiece that will leave a lasting impression on everyone who smells it.The oud is rather subdued, but is still perceptible and characterizes the fragrance especially with the - in my case 3-4 hours lasting - heart note of strong, sweet incense and rather weaker, spicy saffron.

One of the main differences between the two fragrances is their longevity. The Eros EDP is known to last longer than the EDT version, which makes it a great choice for those who want a fragrance that will stay on their skin for an extended period. The EDP version has a stronger concentration of fragrance oils and is designed to be long-lasting, so you can enjoy it’s scent all day or night. As the fragrance develops, it becomes even warmer and more sensual, thanks to the vanilla and tonka bean base notes. This is where the fragrance truly shines, as it transforms into a rich and luxurious aroma that’s perfect for the cooler months of the year. It’s definitely not a “cool” scent in the traditional sense, but thats part of what makes it so unique and appealing. Versace Eros Parfum is a new citrus aromatic fragrance for men launched in 2021 under Versace eros collection. I have to say that these are not the most complex fragrances, but they are rich and alluring. They are, above all, very elegant and refined perfumes, based on oud, spices, woods and leather. The feminine version takes on a strong floral (rose and peony) theme as well, but both can be unissex fragrances. Having said this, I recommend these two scents for any lover of the oriental/woody genre. And the oud? This is present from the beginning, but only slightly at first, and becomes stronger in the heart in combination with the incense. But it only really unfolds in the drydown. It gives the "Oud Noir" something mysterious, and together with patchouli and the Tasmanian false elm, also known as "Leatherwood", it forms a base that gives the perfume depth all around and a pleasant warmth and mystique to the skin even after hours.As we dive deeper into the world of Versace Eros, it’s important to consider the various aspects and nuances of this iconic fragrance. One question that often arises is whether Eros is warm or cold. While many fragrances aim to deliver a crisp, cool freshness, Eros takes a different approach, starting off with a warm and inviting scent that captivates the senses. But there’s more to this fragrance than meets the eye, and we’re here to explore it all. Is Versace Eros Warm or Cold? In summary, a masculine, mysterious, seductive and all around harmonious oud scent, which can and will satisfy both the beginner and the experienced! Mystic woody notes bring richness and addiction to the fragrance for a reall intensified sensuality. Oud Noir won't fill a room unless you take a bath in it but it's not exactly a skin-scent. It's a polite sexy and cosmopolitan oriental blend, mixed by European taste. A perfect example of how oud can be used to make a balanced fragrance without shouting or oozing in amber and cumin. It's suitable for all ocasions, day and night, the only downside being its brief longevity—four hours tops, remaining just a woody-peppery memory after that. Although this is not quite niche-quality, it is better than almost every mainstream release in recent times. Versace did it right, releasing a fragrance that really is a bridge between Occidental and Oriental perfumery, combining European attitude with Eastern materials.
