About Versace Eros

Versace Eros opens with a blast of mint, green apple, and lemon that hits hard and clean. It is fresh but not subtle. The tonka bean and vanilla in the heart give it a sweet, warm quality that balances the initial sharpness. Ambroxan provides that modern, projecting quality that fills a room. The base is woody with cedar and vetiver adding a dry finish. This is a club fragrance, a date night fragrance, a compliment-getter. It projects heavily for the first two hours and then settles into a sweet, musky skin scent. One of the most popular designer fragrances ever made.
