The review

Passionate scores 4.4 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Eros.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Eros's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

It is $122 per 100ml.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Versace Eros is mint, green apple and lemon at first, Tonka Bean, geranium and Ambroxan at its heart and vanilla, vetiver and cedar at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • mint
  • green apple
  • lemon

Heart

  • Tonka Bean
  • geranium
  • Ambroxan

Base

  • vanilla
  • vetiver
  • cedar
For the young and the bold. Icy mint and green apple flash over tonka and vanilla — loud, magnetic, unapologetically fun.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
