Eros Eau de Parfum and Parfum

Both keep the Eros character but smooth it out. The Eau de Parfum tones down the mint and leans warmer. The Parfum goes further in the same direction and feels the most grown up of the three.

Flame shares the name but not the mint. It is a warm, spicy citrus scent with pepper and rosemary, and it shines in cooler weather.

Is there an Eros for women?

Yes. Eros Pour Femme is a bright floral with lemon and jasmine over a soft musky wood base.
