The best smelling bug spray?
I'm going to go on a bit of a rant before I get into the review. Because call the title sarcastic, but I reeeally don't understand certain terms some reviewers or snobs use to describe certain colognes. Things like 'juvenile' or 'teeny bobber', what in the Jeremy fragrance?

Speaking about things teens wear, I don't know if some of you remember what school was like, but most of my mates in school didn't wear anything. Most of them either smelt like BO or at best, they put on Lynx (that's AXE for you Americans) Dark Temptation or something similar. They never ever wore colognes.

So, I get a tad annoyed with some terms like 'juvenile' or 'old-man' smell because in reality, everything I've owned has been one of those two things on Fragrantica reviews. So in essence, every sweet smelling scent I own is "technically" childish. Or for teens. Bunch of bull.

Eros EDP in a vanilla heavy citrus BOMB. There's a distinct bitterness in the opening that transitions into a smooth and sweet apple/lemon scent. But underneath it all, there is a 'fresh' quality I get from smelling this? It's kind of aquatic, even though calone or similar notes aren't listed.

I can see why some people think this is like an air freshener, but I think that really only applies to the opening as it's a bit harsh. Once it dries down, the sweeter aspects are brought to the forefront, and it becomes a lot more palatable. I definitely get a peppermint accord, but it's tucked away throughout its wear. I think in a way, that's a good thing. If the aromatics were stronger, I feel like it would be off-putting. But because it's decently balanced, Eros never comes across as offensive. To my nose at least.

Projection wise, this can project FAR with 5-7 sprays in the first hour. So, you need to be a tad careful with spraying this. Overwise, and considering this is relatively affordable from discounters, I'm not sure why some people hate or disregard this fragrance?

Perhaps the title of 'clubbing king' is one the reasons. Another phrase that makes my eyes roll. I feel as though Eros can be worn anytime, anywhere. It's not necessarily a 'young person’s scent', if that makes sense? Meaning I could see someone in their 30s and 40s pulling it off, and it wouldn't seem out of the ordinary?

As for me, I'm 24. I enjoy Eros a lot. I don't think it's the best, but that's only because I prefer sweeter colognes, or gourmands. It's an easy recommendation, especially if you can find it at discounters.

Final verdict: 8/10.

Awaken the Eros within
Freshly squeezed citrous material in a rituals sea salt scrub, some vanilla in the background, something synthetic like Sauvage my olfactory epithelium can’t describe.

You are medusa, desperately trying to get attention but no one dares to look at your eyes.

You are Eros, muscular hot pretty boy but with a shrimp schlong.

You just got out from the Spa. Ready to wreck it with your friends.

Vasiliy Stepanov at the beach vibe drinking mojito.

The true Eros is not based on looks nor smell, but what lies within.

Very long lasting, over moderate sillage, If a citrus fan, go for it 3.725/5

If u are 21 BUY IT
Versace eros, for the young man who is not afraid of anything, who on Saturday nights, in discos, seduces every woman who passes him.
young scent, but it wouldn't surprise me to hear it on a 40 year old man.
very fresh and pleasant.
unlike all my other reviews this goal I absolutely recommend the blind buy, you can't go wrong (for what it costs then)
until next time :)

A more mature EROS
Mint and citrus burst right off the top. Gives me a mojito kind of vibe which is quite refreshing. The powdery vanilla and woods are now taking center stage. Settles into a more mature version which I like a lot. I don't get much leather or florals as noted in the scent breakdown BUT certainly believe that it is where the powdery and more pronounced mature scent is coming from.

Overall good scent and truly will be putting it into my Salsa Dancing party rotation.

While you can definitely tell it’s in the Eros family,
It IS different enough to consider adding to your collection. While the Flame was too similar to the original in my opinion, the 2020 EDP stands out just about “enough” to be called a “sibling” in the line.

Similar to how you can that tell the Bleu de Chanel variants are in the same family AND yet different enough to be looked at as individuals, the Eros EDP comes in with different notes accentuated, and a pinch of new tones added to establish its “fingerprint”.

The overall Eros dna is DEFINITELY there, but the spearmint comes in and adds a kind of “frosty” feeling. While the edt version really feels of a sweet mint/tonka/vanilla vibe, the spearmint in the 2020 EDP adds a very cold sensation that pulls back on the sweetness... especially in the opening. Think of how some people prefer more sugar to their coffee and some people like it black. The edt Eros would be a mint drink with 4 tablespoons of sugar, while Eros Flame replaced the mint with a citrus pinch but kept the sugar. The new 2020 EDP adds a much more intense mint and pulls back to maybe 1 tablespoon of sugar.

The dry downs are definitely VERY similar amongst all 3 variants; the average non-enthusiastic perfume wearer would probably have a very difficult time discerning one from the other. This doesn’t mean they aren’t different enough; well the 2020 EDP IS, anyway. Think of different artists painting pictures of the same site. While you can tell it’s the same place, the artists each have their own perspectives on their work, and the people that look at them see the different artistic touch. Same vibe applies here; you can tell it’s the same “site”, but the artists have used different amounts of different colors, and they have enough of an individualized “fingerprint”. The edt is the sweetest, vanilla heavy version, while the Flame replaces mint with citrus and fades to a slightly less sweet, but still vanilla heavy dry down. The 2020edp cuts the vanilla and sweetness in half, and doubles the mint with a fresher, colder feeling mint. It has almost a peppermint strength intensity and cold sensation.

The projection is easily over a 4ft radius, and the sillage trail definitely sits there for a long time with a very thick radiance. Longevity is also very good (over 8 hours and it’s still STRONG).

I personally think it’s going to be a great winter performer; the mint sensation makes me think of a how a brisk peppermint coffee feels in the cold. I can’t wait to break it out when the winter hits. Again, the simplest way to describe it is this; it’s the original Eros edt with the vanilla dosage cut in half, while the mint is replaced with a much more intense spearmint.

No, we will not be friends. Smells like a generic sweet scent for teenagers, no depth or complexity to it. Too expensive for what it is.

I like the Eros scent, but the EDT gave me a headache. This one is more mature and does not crack my skull. The better Eros to my olfactory.

A more smooth and mature version of the EDT. Less mint in the opening and more citrus. Still a great performer.
