About this deal

I perceive the opening as one marked by a spicy and peppery bitter orange. The neroli also contributes to this and gives the opening some freshness, whereby I especially smell the pepper and the bitter orange. Within about 5 minutes the top note disappears and merges - in my opinion a bit too choppy - into the heart note; the moment of transition is very short. The durability and the silage get 7 points each from me, because the scent projects on my skin 1 and on the clothing 2 hours over one meter and lasts / is perceptible on my skin 7 and on the clothing 10 hours. This could be a bit stronger in my eyes, because I usually spray three times and it is still an eau de parfum and not an eau de toilette. The performance could be stronger, while still being (more than) good. The heart is first of all shaped by saffron and then especially by a sweet incense - I love it (!) - I do not perceive cardamom personally. In my experience, incense is more likely to be perceived at a distance, and saffron is more likely to be perceived at close proximity to the skin. Through the present male sweetness (of the incense) this Versace fragrance slowly but steadily becomes warmer and more oriental, the incense, which I perceive until the end, makes him by its mysterious, smoky resinous, but also slightly sweet, effect to a "noir". One thing to note about Versace Eros is that it’s excellent longevity and projection. This is likely due to the high quality of the ingredients used in the fragrance, as well as the skillful blending of these elements. It’s a fragrance that will definitely make an impact and leave a lasting impression on those around you.

Now this is a traditional combination: oud and rose. But don't expect the same result as all other combinations based on these notes. Oud Oriental is more complex and subtle than that, and it's a gender-bender that will please all floriental lovers. Rose is the star of this creation, but it is masterfully distorted with freesia and violet to make it more spicy and sweet. This peppery, spicy-sweet rose makes the perfect pair for a very balmy and medicinal oud note that goes away with time, developing slowly on the skin and becoming slightly animalic (leather) towards the end. The sweetness of vanilla and heliotrope brings out the powdery aspect of Oud Oriental. In summary, a masculine, mysterious, seductive and all around harmonious oud scent, which can and will satisfy both the beginner and the experienced! I have to say that these are not the most complex fragrances, but they are rich and alluring. They are, above all, very elegant and refined perfumes, based on oud, spices, woods and leather. The feminine version takes on a strong floral (rose and peony) theme as well, but both can be unissex fragrances. Having said this, I recommend these two scents for any lover of the oriental/woody genre. I received compliments from both sexes, but more from the women - and plenty of them, as long as I did not overdo it with the dosage; 3 shots are quite sufficient.One of the main differences between the two fragrances is their longevity. The Eros EDP is known to last longer than the EDT version, which makes it a great choice for those who want a fragrance that will stay on their skin for an extended period. The EDP version has a stronger concentration of fragrance oils and is designed to be long-lasting, so you can enjoy it’s scent all day or night. When it comes to choosing between the Versace Eros EDT and the EDP, there are a few differences to consider. While both scents have a similar scent profile, they’re designed for different occasions and preferences. The EDP version is more intense and longer-lasting, making it perfect for special occasions or a night out. On the other hand, the EDT version is a lighter, more refreshing fragrance that’s ideal for everyday wear and work. Let’s take a closer look at the key differences between the two scents and which one might be best for you. Which Versace Eros Lasts Longer? Oud Noir won't fill a room unless you take a bath in it but it's not exactly a skin-scent. It's a polite sexy and cosmopolitan oriental blend, mixed by European taste. A perfect example of how oud can be used to make a balanced fragrance without shouting or oozing in amber and cumin. It's suitable for all ocasions, day and night, the only downside being its brief longevity—four hours tops, remaining just a woody-peppery memory after that. Although this is not quite niche-quality, it is better than almost every mainstream release in recent times. Versace did it right, releasing a fragrance that really is a bridge between Occidental and Oriental perfumery, combining European attitude with Eastern materials.

For this reason, I recommend "Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir" at this point especially to those who are looking for a mass produced and not too extravagant oud fragrance and to those who want to enter the "world of oud" and are looking for a very good and more than affordable oud entry fragrance. Versace Eros has become one of the most iconic fragrances in the world since it’s launch in 20This fragrance is an aromatic-woody creation that’s the power to turn heads and captivate peoples hearts. It comes in a beautifully crafted bottle that represents the strength and masculinity that the scent exudes. For this reason, I give the fragrance 9 points, half a point because of the choppy / disharmonious transition between the head and heart notes, and another half point because of the oud, which could have been a little bit, but not much, stronger. The oud is rather subdued, but is still perceptible and characterizes the fragrance especially with the - in my case 3-4 hours lasting - heart note of strong, sweet incense and rather weaker, spicy saffron.However, they all have one thing in common: they’re all crafted with high-quality ingredients that represent the strength, masculinity, and sensuality of the Versace brand. Eros, the God of love, whose arrow can make you fall in love, reaches the passionate heights of oriental obsession, from which an unprecedented desire emanates, to the limits of the forbidden. As the fragrance develops, it becomes even warmer and more sensual, thanks to the vanilla and tonka bean base notes. This is where the fragrance truly shines, as it transforms into a rich and luxurious aroma that’s perfect for the cooler months of the year. It’s definitely not a “cool” scent in the traditional sense, but thats part of what makes it so unique and appealing.

Let's be honest, this is, above all, a leathery-spicy fragrance. Oud is there (mostly in the top notes) just to make it more exotic and intense. This is actually a leather-oud accord, as stated by the brand. Not the chemical, sometimes harsh shade you sometimes get with oud, but a spicy, nose-tingling peppery opening. After that, oud is leading the way to a rather soft drydown with hot, dry labdanum. It's not too complex but delightful in a simple and sensual way. If you were expecting a loud scent, reminiscent of Oriental souks with sweaty hairy men selling you spices, you are in for a disappointment. This is refined masculinity at its best. The designer scent "Versace pour Homme Oud Noir", which I sprayed directly onto a test strip and which I liked more than the first time I sniffed it and also later on - but for the UVP of 120€. I was not willing to pay this price, so I went home disappointed about the "not buying", but then I bought it with all the more joy and enthusiasm for less than half (under 60€ as a rule) from the biggest online perfume dealer in Europe.Overall, both fragrances are fantastic options, and it really comes down to what youre looking for in a scent. Conclusion Over the years, as I gradually developed into a true perfume enthusiast, I inevitably came across the ingredient "Oud", which can be found at least once in almost every perfume portfolio of every perfume-producing brand today More and more I was concerned with that ingredient that is loved by some and hated by others; to me it seemed worthy of a glance or a snoop. As a result, I didn't have the "courage" to buy a (designer) fragrance with "Oud" in its name, and certainly not an expensive one from any niche perfumer. When it comes to deciding between which Versace Eros lasts longer, it ultimately comes down to personal preference and what your needs are. If youre someone who prefers a lighter, fresher scent that you can wear regularly, then the Versace Eros EDT might be the better option for you. This fragrance is perfect for everyday wear and can be used both during the day and at night. It’s scent profile is composed of mint, green apple, and lemon, making it a refreshing and uplifting fragrance. Versace is one of the leading international fashion design houses and a symbol of Italian luxury worldwide. Donatella Versace as Artistic Director continues Gianni Versace’s unique vision for the brand and reinforces its values and heritage through strong and fearless design. The super-brand includes fashion, footwear, must-have bags, jewellery, home furnishings and of course fragrance, each bearing the distinctive Medusa logo.
