The Scent
The latest edition under the Eros banner doesn’t fall short of brilliance. This parfum sounds like the ultimate provocative weapon, which is completely fitting with its inspiration: the God of Love. At the first spritz, the zesty top notes of lemon and mandarin will pull you in immediately. Then comes the aromatic heart with the oriental profile of green apple and geranium, which feels fresh and tantalising. Upon dry down, the mystic woody notes of tonka bean and amber bring a depth of richness to balance the initial citrus and mint. The Versace Eros parfum is also 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. In a nutshell, the oriental scent will take you on a sensory journey of hot spices, fresh zestiness and woody tones that exude confidence.
The occasion
Eros parfum is one of the most versatile offerings from the House of Versace. It can easily be worn in any casual setting, including dates and social events with friends. Additionally, it’s office-friendly, where the dress code calls for button-down shirts, jeans and sneakers. This fragrance is also a great conversation starter If you’re looking to make a good impression on a first date.
The allure of a parfum
A parfum is the most concentrated of all fragrances. While an eau de toilette can have 8 to 12% essential oils, a parfum can have about 20%, depending on the fragrance brand. This means a stronger and longer-lasting scent. If you like the Eros line, the parfum edition is definitely worth checking out and the performance is well worth the price.
