EROS

Our Eros Fragrance Oil is 98% close to the original Eros perfume launched by the Versace brand in 2012. It has the same notes as are present in the original scent profile. Top notes are Mint, Green Apple, and Lemon; middle notes are Tonka Bean, Ambroxan, and Geranium; base notes are Madagascar Vanilla, Virginian Cedar, Atlas Cedar, Vetiver, and Oakmoss.

Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Mentha Piperita (Mint), Malus Domestica (Green Apple), Limonene (Lemon)
• Heart Notes: Coumarin (Tonka Bean), Ambroxan, Pelargonium (Geranium)
• Base Notes: Vanillin (Madagascar Vanilla), Cedrus Virginiana (Cedarwood), Vetiveria Zizanioides (Vetiver), Evernia Prunastri (Oakmoss)

Detailed Fragrance Analysis

This formulation utilizes a high concentration of Ambroxan to achieve molecular stability and a distinct crystalline amber signature. The inclusion of Hedione facilitates transparency and provides a radiant diffusion that supports the heavy aromatic top notes. Unlike alcohol-based versions, this oil uses a dense carrier that prevents the rapid oxidation of the Mentha Piperita molecules, ensuring the minty freshness remains detectable for a significantly longer duration. The heart is anchored by synthetic Coumarin, which provides the characteristic almond-tobacco warmth required for a true Fougere profile.

How It Performs

The technical performance of this oil is superior to Ethanol-based sprays due to its linear evaporation curve. In an alcohol spray, the ‘alcohol spike’ causes a rapid, uncontrolled release of top notes. This oil formulation suppresses volatility, allowing the scent to transition smoothly from the sharp acidity of Green Apple to the creamy Madagascar Vanilla over several hours. Expect 10-12 hours of longevity on the epidermal layer and 24+ hours on textile fibers. Sillage is classified as heavy during the first 4 hours, tapering to moderate for the remainder of the wear cycle.

Best Times to Wear

This fragrance achieves its peak performance in temperatures ranging from 5°C to 20°C. It is designed for high-impact environments such as evening social events or winter outdoor settings. The high molecular weight of the base notes makes it particularly effective in low-humidity conditions where lighter scents would dissipate. It is less suitable for high-heat office environments (above 30°C) where the diffusion of the Madagascar Vanilla may become overly dense for enclosed spaces.

Pros & Cons

How It Compares

While the original commercial EDT relies on 80% alcohol for projection, this oil contains zero fillers. This results in a smoother maceration process. In laboratory testing, the oil maintains a consistent scent profile from the moment of application, whereas the original fluctuates significantly as the alcohol evaporates. The use of Iso E Super in our oil base provides a velvety woody backbone that remains stable even in fluctuating skin temperatures. The price point of Rs. 1,200 for 10ml offers a higher concentration of active aroma chemicals than a standard 100ml retail bottle.

What Customers Say

“The longevity is objectively better than the retail bottle; I detect the vanilla base 10 hours after application.”

“The scent profile is indistinguishable from my 2014 original batch, but without the stinging alcohol smell at the start.”

Any Questions?

Is this oil safe for sensitive skin? Yes, it is formulated following IFRA standards, though a patch test is recommended due to the high concentration of Limonene and Coumarin.

How should I apply this for maximum sillage? Apply to pulse points where heat is generated, such as the carotid artery and radial artery, to assist in the diffusion of the fragrance molecules.

What is the shelf life? Due to the absence of oxidative alcohol, this oil remains stable for 24-36 months if stored in a cool, dark environment away from UV light.
