Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eros EDT
Irresistibly bold and seductive, Eros is a clubbing powerhouse that balances electrifying freshness with addictive vanilla sweetness. Not for the timid, it grabs attention and never lets go.
Statement
Our Verdict - No.290 Eros EDP
No.290 is Eden Perfumes' aftershave take on Versace Eros, matching the mint-apple opening and vanilla-tonka base of the modern signature. It is louder in the opening and flatter through the drydown than the original EDT, but keeps the same crowd-pleasing shape.
