Versace's Eros

A Quality Alternative to Versace’s Iconic Fragrance For Men

Versace Eros for Men draws inspiration from ancient Greek myths and shares the same dark, sensual theme central to many other classic masculine fragrances. Named after the Greek god of love, Versace’s Eros embodies a powerful yet youthful character — one that truly befits the modern man.

Now, what does Versace Eros smell like? Versace Eros is big, sharp, and bold. And we mean that in the best possible way. It’s hard to find anything subtle about this fragrance, and perhaps that’s why we enjoy it so much. There’s just something so addictive about the fragrance’s provocative, intrepid scent that awakens the fearless spirit of boundless exploration within.

Mint, green apple, and lemon dominate the opening notes of Eros, making a loud and boisterous statement. There’s an initial sharpness to it, but soon you’ll notice more calming smells like a herbaceous taste of geranium layered with rich, musky ambroxan. Eventually, you’ll get to the deeper tones of vanilla and cedar, rounding off the scent for a sweet, dark, forest finish.

Versace Eros certainly provides a strong opening, followed by punchy scents throughout. It makes a wonderful fragrance for men who are keen on an audacious scent that won’t overwhelm. In general, however, we find it lighter and sweeter than most and a bit more androgynous than its scent profile suggests. For this reason, we think it could also make an appealing choice for women looking to add a slightly more masculine aesthetic to their collection.

Versace Eros possesses the perfect blend of mint and vanilla, ideal for daytime use. Despite its lightness, it still has a strong scent, so as with any fragrance, the golden rule is not to overapply.

For evening wear, Versace Eros is an amazing choice. Strength proves to be its most valuable feature here, as the scent stays on your skin all night. Young and invigorating, this is an overall great choice for a night out in the city.

There have been several variations of Versace’s Greek-inspired line of fragrances over the years. Among these are the bestselling Versace Eros Eau de Toilette, accompanied by Versace Eros Eau de Parfum, Versace Eros Flame cologne, and Versace Eros Pour Femme.

Dossier’s Ambery Mint takes heavy inspiration from Versace Eros. With Ambery Mint, our goal was to impart the same sensation of warmth, freshness, and assertiveness you’ll only find in fragrances far exceeding its price point.

And true to its mythical roots, Dossier’s Versace Eros dupe offers an excellent alternative to Versace’s legendary Greek-inspired fragrance, with a similar stimulating and masculine blend of sparkling mint mixed with sweet, herbaceous, and woody undertones.
