Nice pongs and gorgeous whiffs. The Aftershave thread!

Any love here for Versace Eros?
I never really paid any attention to it, but had a spritz in a duty free shop the other week, and loved it.. I think it was the EDT, I've since bought a bottle of the parfum.

Yes it's nice, I wear it on holiday a lot. I like the bottle too.
 
I just bought again two of my favs, No.9 is never going away it;s too good :p The Versace one was going for £15 which is cheaper than last time i got it so thought why not again.

I keep a bottle of No.9 in my locker at work, it's strong, fresh, and lasts pretty well.
 
Bought a few Aqua Di Parma scents recently. Like their smells (bought a new one today actually). I was bought a Tom Ford one in a brown bottle, really not my cuppa, woody sharp smell.

I have the later Eros Najim (the one in the amber bottle) - a really good, long lasting smell. The Blue (not the horrid Dylan) Eros is on my list as a possible next.

I think I tried the eros EDT at the airport, and I've bought the EDP and it smells a bit different but simmilar - I think I actually prefer the EDT though, or maybe my memories playing tricks on me!

They do smell different. As does the parfum version too :P

The channel tunnel duty free had a few Eros - the Najim was the one that smelt awesome, but it confusing looking online as it seems there's three perfumes in the same blue Eros bottle. I can't remember if it was Eros Parfum, EtP or EdP etc. What I do remember is it was more subtle than Najim and Flame, which makes me think it was the EdT. Very easy daily wear it like the Mont Blanc Spirit (white bottle, Eau to Toilette).

I found the Najim (Pafum) excellent but it's a bit like a super weapon, you need only one or possibly two squirts or it becomes over powering. Also it's definitely a night/dressed up/cozy'd in scent and not a shorts and t-shirt shopping at Sainsbury unless you really want to smell like you're on the pull. It also lasts into the next day.

I'd avoid Eros Energy like the plague though.. it's' like you fought a citronella candle and lost. Maybe it's too strong and only needs a distant spray otherwise you're into the lav cleaner smell.

Yep. The blue Eros has three versions. All slightly different in smell.

Typically the higher the concentration eg. Parfum, the less projection, and closer it sits to the skin, while lasting longer. Where as the other end of the scale, eau de toilette will have big projection, but usually sub par longevity.
 
Yeah I think the one in the blue bottle is the 'origonal' but there a few variations on that, EDT, EDP and Parfum.
Then you've got other 'spin off' ones like flame, etc which are quite a bit different..?

They are. You can check out fragrantica for reviews on each of the releases to get a general idea.


Just scroll down and you’ll see all current Eros releases.

Reading some of those reviews.. it looks like they've never even smelt the scent and go by the graphics and other comments!

I'll keep an eye out.. for now I have enough scents! honest..
 
Just ordered up a sample set of Parfum de Marly which should arrive at some point this week. Quite like the look of the Pegasus one in particular.
 
Been using Prada Luna Rossa EDP as my going out scent most recently, have always been a Fahrenheit fan which i use as my daily, but gone for something different this time with Dior Sauvage Elixir EDP.
