Versace Eros Flame Eau De Parfum 200ml

Product Information

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. 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.

For this reason, I give the fragrance 9 points, half a point because of the choppy / disharmonious transition between the head and heart notes, and another half point because of the oud, which could have been a little bit, but not much, stronger.

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.

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. 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. I received compliments from both sexes, but more from the women - and plenty of them, as long as I did not overdo it with the dosage; 3 shots are quite sufficient. 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.

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. 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".

After last year's release of Oud Noir, Versace complements the Oud Collection with a female fragrance, Oud Oriental, in a stunning gold statement. Versace came very late to the oud craze, you may think. Well, for these kind of oud fragrances they are launching, I think It's the perfect timing, since they are not really just oud fragrances, although they decided to name these editions to make you think you will smelll lots of oud. You wont! These are perfumes with oud in them but very far from the bold oud craziness of the last years. These are perfect examples of the future of oud in Western perfume culture, as I see it. It's like this sleek, modern Persian neighbor you see every day at the art gallery wearing minimalist designer clothes. You can see the exotic facial features but all in all she is a refined woman who could be from anywhere between New York to Paris or Milan. And this mix is what makes her interesting and attractive. Versace Eros Parfum is a new citrus aromatic fragrance for men launched in 2021 under Versace eros collection. The durability and the silage get 7 points each from me, because the scent projects on my skin 1 and on the clothing 2 hours over one meter and lasts / is perceptible on my skin 7 and on the clothing 10 hours. This could be a bit stronger in my eyes, because I usually spray three times and it is still an eau de parfum and not an eau de toilette. The performance could be stronger, while still being (more than) good. 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. 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.

How Many Types of Versace Eros Are There?

Base: Cedarwood Atlas and Virginia, Vetiver Orpur Essence (Haiti), Patchouli Coeur Orpur Essence (Indonesia), Sandalwood, Vanilla 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? Over the years, as I gradually developed into a true perfume enthusiast, I inevitably came across the ingredient "Oud", which can be found at least once in almost every perfume portfolio of every perfume-producing brand today More and more I was concerned with that ingredient that is loved by some and hated by others; to me it seemed worthy of a glance or a snoop. As a result, I didn't have the "courage" to buy a (designer) fragrance with "Oud" in its name, and certainly not an expensive one from any niche perfumer.
