Versace

Eros EDP

“The EDT's older, more confident brother who actually closes deals.”

Versace Eros EDP
citrus
aromatic
green

Drier, darker, richer, with more patchouli-green direction than the 2012 original's oakmoss — Olivier Pescheux's 2020 EDP reformulation of Guichard's Eros is the mature 'cocktails after work' version of the club-banger classic.

The take

What works

  • ●Noticeably better longevity than the original EDT
  • ●Compliment machine at a mid-tier price
  • ●Warmer, richer ambroxan base that performs in cold weather

Trade-offs

  • ●Still in the same DNA as the original — not a reinvention
  • ●Projects hard enough to overpower close quarters
