Review of Eros pour Femme Eau de Parfum by aad de gids

well, this is a strong perfume. I spritzed three doses of the perfume in the nape of the neck and on my pulse at 5.00am and at 1.00pm I still smelled the perfume as strongly as in the morning (8 hours +). what I smelled were lemons, lemonblossom (perhaps that,the strongest), flowers (apart from^): peony, jasmine; fruit especially citrus (lemon, lime, pomegranate) and woody notes (this peering sandelwood, 'woody notes', ambroxan and musk) (as I read Alberto Morillas of Mizensir was one of the creators I knew I could at least smell his [artificial] musk because with Mizensir (Poudre d'Or, Rose Exaltante) he is a master with it and my 'half-the-populace-anosmia' for these musks dwindles as snow for sun). Versaces 'Eros pour Femme' is a rambunctious perfume almost a kind of Giorgio (but they also had that with the Madonna co-curated 'Blonde') and it is predominantly, as one rev. said above: sharp perfume, aspect coming from the unique lemonblossom. today however I got a 'whole' perfume, the notes well blended and nevertheless the lemonscent dominated. usually I am not so fruity (yet I am a fruit) but I guess with the pomegranate the citricity got some mellow vibe. (or a facilitator.) yes this is a big perfume with the Versace-esthetics written all over it: scent over the top, packageing hugely over-the-top (I immediately fell for the flacon and box); it drops the neat Ralph Lauren, Burberry, damsel esthetics. on the red carpet a percentage (highest) of Atelier Versace combined with the equally over the top ultraluxurious de Grisigono haute joillarie because we enter not the red carpet with L'Air du Temps or Acqua di Gio. I loathe the demure, masculin women fashions of Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani while their gents clothes are phenomenal. then to enter with such a threatening vile bombshell of a perfume seems much more L.A., Milan. I have to admit I had to grow into this perfume (while I never veer away from strong perfumes) but I guess we're good friends now. I have always loved Versace and who cares if Donatella has had her lips done over-the-top or Madonna her butt XXL. they run billion $ businesses and it goes with the territory of (faux) representability. brava !
