Eros in a less polarizing version
During yesterday's Christmas stroll I used the time for a test of the new Eros Flanker. I've known him for a long time and now I've seen him in the store and sprayed him on. Spontaneous. I was already curious, because I own the original and the red version seemed interesting to me. The original is a polarizing scent. A love-ot-hate scent. I can understand both sides, because he's a full-twelve. But a lot of ladies, especially young ladies, love him. I also like it but rarely wear it as it is too pushy and obtrusive on many occasions. Then a Flanker seemed interesting to me.
The bottle is typically Versace. Cheerful and pretty. This time in red with golden lid. The nickname Flame was chosen. In my eyes a suitable name to the bottle and fragrance.
The first thing I have to say about the description of the fragrance is: This is a flanker that is extremely close to the original. If you are looking for an independent and completely different fragrance, you will be disappointed here. But: Never change a winning team. The original is highly placed in many sales lists. What stands out positively here is that the opening is much fresher and not so overwhelmingly penetrating. Where the original is very minty, here is placed on citric notes in the foreground. And a nice subtle spice. Later he approaches his predecessor. Approx. 30 minutes and one recognizes very strong similarities to the original. The sillage and the penetrance are slightly dimmed down and still well perceptible. After the mentioned 30 minutes it is fresh, woody, sweet and slightly seasoned. In the base the wood comes out extremely and harmonizes well with the sweetness. The base and the dry-down are very pleasant and sensual. Those who like the original will also like it. Especially due to the strong similarities.
Durability is absolutely good. At least 10 hours he holds with bravur. The Sillage is slightly dimmed but still very good and above all pleasant. While the original is mainly a party and night scent, Eros Flame could also be worn in everyday life. Maybe not in the office but you won't get crooked looks like you might get with the original.
My conclusion: A great Flanker. Very close to the original, but more pleasing than its original. People who have the original don't need it unless you're looking for a lighter woody version
