What Reddit owners say
4/5“Don't worry about it, I have a versace eros since 2015 and it still smells as good as day one.”
5/5 Everyday“Is Extreme considerably darker than Eros EDP, or roughly in the same range?”
4/5 SweetnessFresh & clean“Its definitely darker than eros edp, I probably wouldn't completely drop a fresh scent until you've tried it yourself, i personally like to wear extreme at night time and 60-70 degree weather is great as well I havent really tried it in hig”
4/5 Compliments“Versace eros HANDS DOWN! The sexiest scent one can wear. I've gotten soo many compliments for it and random strangers have also asked me what I'm wearing bcs they like it a lot.”
5/5“He was really stuck between this one and Eros though. I think I'm going to buy us Le Beau and La Belle Paradise Garden (which he loved on me) on an upcoming anniversary :) Then I'll get him Eros for his birthday lol”

5/5“My husband is a basic b and loves to drench himself in Versace Eros and Dior Sauvage and thus, I fear I have no useful or interesting suggestions. Lmao”
4/5“I like wearing Eros EDT. The men's version. Though the women's version of the EDT is also great.”
4/5 Night out“OG Eros hate is always forced. Just because you remember people wearing it in high school/clubs does not make it a young/club exclusive fragrance. Vanilla/mint is a 10/10 combo and Eros does it fantastically. People in the real world don't follow the standards of fragrance buffs. If it smells good it smells good.”
4/5 Longevity“The one you've tried and you enjoy. I've owned Eros edt, edp, Flame, and Afnan supremacy. Afnan is good bright pineapple opening into an oak moss dry down. Smells very good and long lasting. You'll definitely get your moneys worth out of it. Don't pull the trigger on a cologne until you've tried it and ideally sampled on skin”
4/5 Mass appealEveryday“I have both Eros and Dylan Blue, and I find Dylan more mass appealing and versatile. Dylan is good all year round, good in both casual and dress outfits, and very wearable for someone new to fragrances. Eros is great but not as versatile in my opinion”
5/5 Value“I own Eros EDT, EDP, Parfum, Flame and Energy. For me Energy is my least favorite BUT the dry down is amazing. I'll sometimes layer and use Energy for my arms but I rarely use it as a standalone. Maybe consider a tester off Jomashop if you dont wanna commit to a full price bottle.”
4/5 Everyday“Explorerrr, first ever frag i bought, i used dupe of eros for the past many years and i have switched to this, its way better in my opinion the eros is also good but its time to change my signature scent”
5/5 Unique“Have you tried the rest of the Eros line? Imo, they are all different and amazing. I really like the Eros Najim when I smelled it at the store, sprayed some on me, it lasted all night and the scent was very 3d, and exotic”
2/5“Sometimes I spray ADG & Eros EDT on my tongue cuz I forget from last time they taste not as good as they smell necessarily. So I get what you're saying 100%”
5/5“I'm just getting interested in fragrances… my wife purchased me a bottle of original nautica green/classic. She saw it and remembered it from me wearing it in high school. So I've been wearing it out of nostalgia. I was told I would like Versace Eros so I ordered a 1ml sample of EDP and to me it smells like walking in the door of Belk or Dillards. Not a fan. If I like Nautica classic then what is a scent I would just love?”
4/5“I got this chrome edp and Eros edp first and I've questioned my additional perfume purchases ever since. This right there just works and smells great.”
4/5“Em5 constant is good Em5 eros And i have tried em5 vanilla nior They'll are good imo”
4/5 FallEveryday“I am just busting out my tried and true fall everyday, Eros Pour Femme by Versace ✨ it's somehow both cozy and sophisticated, it makes me feel like I have my shit together when I'm running chaotic errands with my 13 mo old and most certainly do not have it together 😅”
5/5 Sweetness“I love Eros edt. It ends up smelling sweet on me.”
5/5 Value“I got it for under $15 before tax. Then spent $60 on the real thing. It's honestly top 5 in my Lattafa collection. Najim is more polished and refined. It's my favorite in the Eros line.”
5/5 Summer“Something that smells very close to Eros for pennies compared to the real deal. I love mine, it works year round but I've been using it this summer.”
4/5 ProjectionMass appeal“Im a fan I've had one compliment from a stranger All be it by accident because she didn't say to her friend "he smells so nice" quietly because of eros EDP for whatever it's worth. Projects well, lasts a good amount of time. Easy to wear. Nice crowd pleaser if that's your bag.”
5/5“But my favorite and go to are Versace Eros and Dior Sauvage. Have you gotten in to oils / oud - I have started to get into those as well and they are amazing because of longevity.”
4/5 ValueSummer“I just received my Versace Eros from them. It seems legit...though I never got an Eros sample from the store. I ordered this scent based on it showing up in an article about great summer fragrances for men. Shipping was relatively quick too. I figured for $20, it was worth the risk.”
4/5 Everyday“Eros is also great and the parfum has a permanent spot in my collection. Signature scent is a lot harder.”
4/5 Office“If the Eros DNA just isn't your thing, Luna Rossa Carbon EDT is great, one of my go-tos for the office.”
5/5“Eros,creed and baccarat are my favorite. I had a bottle and I didn't think it was that spectacular but I never let it grow on me.”
1/5 SweetnessSynthetic / harsh“Eros is awful, I bought the flame variant after enjoying the opening and not really testing it. They're so synthetic and cloying.”
2/5“Eros, actually dislike the smell bought it blind, think the bottle, there's too much going on.”
2/5 Unique“I did order the fragrance revival one. Waiting for it in the mail now. Ill see how it is. Btw versace eros is def not it. I got a mini bottle and it smells nothing like it haha”
4/5“Eros is a great bargain at discounters. I have quite a few options at this point, but I'm impressed with Eros every time I wear it.”
4/5 Everyday“I'll take Chrome followed by Eros EDP. I've worn Chrome for 20+ years. Eros EDP is a recent addition in the last 6 months but is also a wonderful scent and a very solid daily driver but head to head, I'll take Chrome. (I'm 36 for the record)”
5/5“They're probably taxing on it, but def the Eros. Eros smells perfect every single time I use it, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.”
2/5 LongevityProjection“Eros too loud and not great longevity. I use eros as my work truck air freshener.”
2/5 Unique“Ive tried eros edp didnt like it. Is eros edt different from it or its redundant if edp has been tried.”
5/5 Unique“Versace Eros I bought it somewhere between 2016-2017 50ml. I've still only used half a bottle. I won't say I hate it. I've asked different people who come over to my house about if they like it and noone said that they didn't. But also no one said that they loved it. My problem with it is that I am slightly allergic to something in that juice. I'll put it on me in the morning and by the noon I'll be sneezing and in the evening I'll have a runny nose. So, yeah.”
4/5 Mass appeal“Even though Eros is a really nice, mass-appealing fragrance, now I kinda find it generic and unremarkable. I don't reach for it as often as I used to, but I used to love the scent.”
4/5“Eros EDT. I don't own a bottle anymore, just a travel bottle of Flame, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I wore the OG, I'd have somebody tell me they enjoyed it.”
2/5“I don't agree if they all came in a generic white bottle how would we tell what is what from photos you know how small the writing is on the labels and I bought Versace Eros because Channing Tatum's Hot topless catching arrows it's all about brainwashing and AI they track what we look at and place the same advertisement on facebook or the likes and the fact that we are less likely to buy online thus the rise of decant sites could you imagine 20 years ago that we would be hermit keyboard warriors?”
4/5 Summer“I've been using their Eros and Ombre Leather and they're really good and last decently long even in mumbai heat”
