HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Eros by Versace was launched in 2012 and crafted by perfumer Aurélien Guichard. The composition opens with a vibrant combination of mint and green apple, immediately refreshing and invigorating. This bright, crisp start gives way to a heart of geranium and lemon that adds an herbal-fresh twist. As the scent evolves, vanilla from Madagascar brings warmth and depth, while woody notes like cedar and vetiver ground the composition with earthy richness. Eros is often praised for its balance between freshness and sensuality, making it a versatile choice for both day and evening.
Eros has a strong initial burst from its minty opening but fades quickly into the heart and base notes. For best effect, apply two to three sprays directly on pulse points for a lasting warmth that gradually unfolds throughout the day.
