Eros Perfume Gift Set 100ml
The larger bottle is what distinguishes Versace Eros Perfume Gift Set 100ml, and it shifts the gift from a gesture into something that will genuinely last a year or more of regular wear.
Inside is a fragrance built on a single clear contrast. The top is cold, with mint doing most of it, bright and almost medicinal, supported by lemon and mandarin orange and given green sweetness by apple. The bottom is warm, with vanilla sweet and rounded, patchouli earthy, cedarwood and vetiver dry and rooty, and sandalwood creamy over the top of them.
Between the two sit geranium and clary sage, adding a rosy, herbal middle that keeps the transition from being abrupt. It is a simple architecture and it has been copied endlessly, but the original handling still has a clarity to it that most of the imitations miss, particularly in those first two or three minutes. Knowing that structure in advance makes it easier to explain the present when it is opened.
A 100ml bottle in a presentation box is a confident present. It suits someone you know already wears this, or someone young enough to be building a first proper collection and likely to use a large bottle rather than ration it. Winter is when it will get worn hardest, so late autumn is the sensible time to buy one. A set of this size is also the sensible way to buy for someone who is about to leave home, since it covers a year of wear in one purchase and needs no follow up.
The Milanese house that makes it was founded by Gianni Versace in 1978, has been creatively directed by Donatella Versace since his death, and counts Eros among the men's lines it is best known for.
