That opening of fresh mint with green apple and the vanilla-wood base&#8230; it&#8217;s one of those that makes you turn your head when someone walks past you wearing it. Since 2012, Eros has won over millions of men who want a fragrance with presence without giving up freshness. The problem is the price: a 100 ml EDT bottle will set you back <strong>\u20ac80\u2013110<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I&#8217;m telling you about the best <strong>Eros Versace dupes<\/strong> and, most importantly, the DIVAIN alternative that puts it within everyone&#8217;s reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Eros by Versace so special?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eros was created by perfumer Alberto Morillas (yes, the same one behind Acqua di Gio) for Versace in 2012. The name refers to the Greek god of love \u2014 and the fragrance does it justice: it has genuine magnetism. Its secret lies in a combination of three elements you don&#8217;t often see together: <strong>fresh mint + sweet apple + warm vanilla<\/strong>. The result is an aromatic foug\u00e8re that is simultaneously fresh and gourmand, with remarkable projection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eros Versace olfactory notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Top notes:<\/strong> Mint, green apple and lemon \u2014 a fresh, sparkling opening with that irresistible sweet-herbal edge<\/li><li><strong>Heart notes:<\/strong> Tonka bean, geranium and Ambroxan \u2014 the warm, sensual heart that gives it depth<\/li><li><strong>Base notes:<\/strong> Madagascar vanilla, vetiver, oakmoss, Virginia cedar and Atlas cedar \u2014 a warm, woody and addictive base<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Olfactory family:<\/strong> Aromatic foug\u00e8re.
