Paul Schütze Tears of Eros is a unisex scent that sets the resinous warmth of frankincense, labdanum and benzoin against the spice of cardamom and pink pepper.

What does Tears of Eros smell like?

The notes read as a single flow rather than stages: resins lay down a sweet, smoky base, while cedar and gaiac wood give it a woody frame. Hyacinth adds a green, floral touch and clementine lightens the weight. The overall impression moves between fresh, spicy and earthy, with a faintly synthetic brightness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable without filling a room. Most voters pick it for leisure, business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.
