Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eros Najim EDP

This one is a real Marmite, love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's either an amazing, unique take on the Eros DNA with a sophisticated Middle Eastern twist or a synthetic, oversweet mess that misses the mark entirely. Blind-buying is definitely not recommended.

Our Verdict - Origins For Him EDP

The autumn end of Barbour's range: pink pepper and mandarin over damp patchouli, cedar and vetiver. Warmer and earthier than the Heritage or Coastal bottles, and the most convincing of the three at doing what the brand is selling.

Season and Occasion Fit

Eros Najim

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its strong projection and longevity, combined with its sweet and warm spicy profile, make it less suitable for office or sport. However, these characteristics are ideal for date nights and formal events, where it can leave a memorable, sophisticated impression.

Origins For Him

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Patchouli, cedarwood, vetiver and golden amber are cool-weather materials, and the brand builds the whole idea around early autumn. Only the mandarin and baies roses opening gives it any warm-weather usability.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Moderate projection and an earthy woody signature keep it workable in an office and natural on casual autumn days. It is too soft and too rustic to be a formal evening choice.
