What does Eros Iros smell like?

The notes sit together rather than unfolding in stages: cherry and strawberry bring a fruity, gourmand sweetness, and vanilla turns it creamy and soft. Saffron and frankincense add a spicy, resinous depth, while leather, tobacco, smoke and palo santo anchor the whole in a smoky, woody base. Floral and powdery accents take the edge off this dark mix.

That balance between sweet and smoky makes it wearable by anyone, whatever the gender. Its profile is close to Pink Sugar Black Sugar and Macoré Oud Premier.
