Based on a single spray on a test strip I was very enthusiastic about this one. It seemed to have great projection, longevity and a dominant lively sparkling orange note.
Recently on a purchase for another another fragrance I was given a 2 ml sample of Eros. I tried it three or four times on my skin and now have very different views on this one. My comparisons to Minotaure still hold true, but I no longer think that Eros is the better of the two. Once again it's down to these new very chemical components they all seem to be using in these newer fragrances. I now find Eros a one dimentional chemical "shrieker". One can not really use the word cloying because the fragrance is so flat that it's not rich enough and therefore not capable of being cloying. This fragrance is structured like a poorly designed air freshener.
I really apologise if I have mislead anyone with my first fleeting, (very positive) impression of Eros. I got it totally wrong and obviously I should have tested it on my skin on that first occasion.
It became so menacing on my skin and did not develope at all, so that after a couple of hours I had to wash it off. This was no easy task and after washing with soap, (four times!) I could still smell it clearly......even the next morning......
I find this new trend in the fragrance industry alarming. There seem to be so many releases now with this style of structure. It seems to my nose to be as if "a bit of everything" is thrown in, producing an unreadable chemical chaos.
