Our Versace Eros Flame review: what the 2018 Eau de Parfum smells like from its peppery citrus opening to the vanilla and woods drydown, how long wearers say it lasts and projects, when to wear it, and whether it is worth buying over the other Eros versions.
The best perfumes for men in their 30s: Hermès H24 and Nishane Hacivat for work, Layton and Ombré Leather for evenings, Santal 33 as a signature, and a budget pick that holds its own. Plus when your first niche bottle is worth it.
Bleu de Chanel vs YSL Y EDP comes down to style: Y is brighter, sweeter and louder with apple, ginger and amberwood, while Bleu de Chanel is drier and woodier with citrus, incense and cedar. Here is how to choose.
Versace Eros is the minty, apple-and-vanilla party scent; Eros Flame is the peppery citrus-and-rose version with a warmer woody base. Here is how they differ in notes, sweetness, strength and occasion, and how to choose.
Versace Eros vs Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum: one is minty, sweet and bright, the other is ginger, woods and bourbon vanilla. Here is which suits the club, which suits a date, and how to settle it on your own skin.
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum is the warm, powdery evening version of Le Male: cardamom, lavender and iris over vanilla and woods. Here is how it wears, how it compares with the other JPG colognes, and six similar scents worth sampling.
The best date night perfume depends on the date: something soft for a first drink, warm and polished for dinner, skin-close for a night in, and a statement for an anniversary. Nine picks from Gypsy Water to Grand Soir, with how much to spray.
