EdT vs. EdP
In direct comparison with the EdT for me clearly inferior. The opening of both fragrances is pretty much identical. The EdT starts a little sweeter whereas the EdP comes along much more citrusy. Already after 2h I perceive the EdP as very very flat. The EdT continues to project and remains very fresh and transitions into a light sweetness- After 4 hrs I perceive the EdP only skin deep.

Either my nose is broken or I did not get an original EdP in the souk here.... (Batch : MB2008 A:01/21) My EdT has the following batch : SL2038.

So in summary, I am clearly opting for the EdT. It has better durability, better performance and better sillage

Short comparison with the EdT - lowers the expectations!
A flanker that I didn't see coming after "Eros Flame". So I was very excited about the new Eros. Especially because of the leather note, which is listed in the pyramid.

But the year 2020 (even if we are only describing luxury problems here) simply does not manage to meet my expectations: My favourite band from my youth has started producing music again after 10 years. Unfortunately, not very creative songs came out until now And now Versace brings out an EdP of one of my favorite scents. The EdT is the reason why I chose fragrances. So I had high expectations for the EdP.

I don't want to make comparisons about durability and sillage between EdT and EdP. I am too bad for that myself. A couple hours more or less, a couple inches more or less... i don't care anymore
Basically the two fragrances are very identical. There are small differences, which are unimportant for the masses, but for us fine noses are decisive.

This makes the mint leaves look even more authentic and tangible on the EdP than on the EdT. "Candied apple" should not scare off anyone here. The note is rather discreet and does not extend to the heart note.
With EdT it starts to get sweeter after only 10 minutes, while with EdP mint still dominates. But in both cases the woody notes are already noticeable from this point on.

Talking about the heart note is just as difficult as talking about the EdT. It's more like they're both made up of head and base. The only thing that might be noticeable from the heart note in EdP, but only comes to light in the base, is the Muscat Sage (maybe also vetiver?).
I can only speculate here, but in my experience, there is something sour and musty about this note. I noticed the same with Valentino - Uomo Intense. This note also reminds me of fir balsam, which I also like to call sour and musty.

At EdT, the vanilla in the base has the upper hand. Here, at EdP, transparent, woody notes dominate, but with this very note described in the last section. This time the sweetness is rather secondary.

Unfortunately I could not even fantasize a little leather into it. That disappointed me the most. I was always interested in a more mature version of Eros. I thought that you could do that with a decent amount of leather. Pity! Then I'll do it myself
I really don't know what the EdT smells like these days. But I like my 2017 bottle better than the EdP. So the EdP is superfluous for many who own the EdT. Unless you like the above mentioned small differences that I noticed with my poor perception.

Well, and that's it. Versace Eros, as usual fresh-sweet-synthetic, unique, polarizing. A seducer and conqueror of hearts. But in this case also a disappointment (My motto this year: "I'm not surprised, but disappointed"). And is still unfortunately stamped as "CluBdUfT". I like to use it in all premises that are not called a club. The Riakschonz are always and everywhere jut!

Perfume vs Eau de Toilette
The Versace Eros EdT accompanied me for years during my student days, until I got tired of it. Sweet, heavy, slightly powdery. A fragrance for the club, cold days, very strong sillage and durability, almost penetrating. The EdP now is better. Fresher. Not quite as on the 12 as the EdT. Similar phenomenon as with Bleu de Chanel: also with Eros it is so that the EdP beats the EdT loosely due to an additional freshness.

In addition to the typical Eros fragrance, a citrus (lemon / tangerine), slightly green (mint / patchouli) fragrance note resonates here and gives it a lasting freshness. However, the sillage and durability are still top notch and hardly suffer. Of course, the EdP is also still unsuitable for hot summer days or sports activities. However, I have the EdP unlike the EdT simply again desire to wear the Eros fragrance. A Compliment-getter he will always remain. Since compared to the EdT hardly more expensive also a good deal. Recommendable.

The Italian among the Greeks
Versace Eros has a well-known past. So the turquoise bottle of Medusa 2012 was launched. It is the symbol of the brand and also a reference to ancient Greek mythology.

Unfortunately, the scent is not yet available in Germany, so my experience is going to a souk. Many thanks at this point to the user Lacrimalus!

The fragrance opens hyper fresh and reminds me a bit of neon from Aaron Terence Hughes, but much rounder and fruitier and less like a toilet stone. The lemon and tangerine coupled with green mint give it a clearly recognizable DNA and a remarkable sillage in the opening. The Drydown reminds me of an evening walk in Florence. A light mediterranean scent rises in the nose, pictures of a historical old town with a lot of history pass by in my mind's eye, the desire for a relaxed evening with good food and wine in a convivial round of mature men grows
The touch of roses gives the fragrance something floral and lively without becoming feminine. At the base, Eros slides through ambermax and virginia cedar into a sensual cedar note, which is dark, mature and mature with patchouli, a touch of leather and the sweetness of vanilla. Versace Eros EDP underlines a southern man around 30 who knows what he wants without compromising. He is not a OneMillion for party-beasts or a Bleu de Chanel for CEOs, but a mixture of both worlds, a VIP among fragrances. You have to like him and I can imagine that for many people this is a "hit or miss" fragrance. Compared to the EDT, this fragrance is more mature and has more character, but without losing its strengths.

It's as if the gods have listened to me.
I'm not a fan of sweet scents per se, which is why I didn't buy the Eros EdT, although I liked all the other components in addition to the sweetness, which held me back from buying it. But then the Eros EdP came on the market. I visited my local miller every day and just waited for the tester to finally be on the shelf. And then it was time. First I sprayed it on a test strip. And then I... "Wait... where's the cute one gone?" I asked myself. It completely disappeared into the new Eros. The sweetness has been almost completely removed and everything else that makes Eros unique has been doubled and a touch of leather added. I just thought to myself "Wow... just what I wanted. He is clearly more masculine than the original. I wore the scent throughout the day, even in gym class, where I sweated a lot, and it held and held and didn't go away. Just great. I finally bought it at the end of the day and I don't regret a single cent. Just a great composition of scents. As if the gods had responded to my wishes, they removed exactly what was holding me back from buying the EdT and added a lot to the rest. I am looking forward to wearing this fragrance in spring and summer.

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.

The fragrance equivalent of biting into a chocolate right after you’ve brushed your teeth.
