Note Pyramid
Eros Pour Femme
Versace Eros Pour Femme Eau de Toilette is the lighter and fruitier of the feminine readings of this name, and raspberry is what separates it from the rest of them.
Alberto Morillas uses the fruit as a bright, slightly tart red note rather than a jam, and he props it up with lemon and mandarin orange so the first few minutes are sharp and juicy at once. It is a cheerful opening with none of the heaviness that the name might lead you to expect, and it is the part of the fragrance people remember.
The middle is a white floral arrangement handled with a light touch. Orange blossom gives a clean sweetness, jasmine the richer floral depth, magnolia a lemony and slightly creamy edge, and freesia an airy peppery lift. Four flowers that could easily have become dense are kept transparent, which is the real craft on display here.
Underneath, ambroxan supplies the modern mineral warmth that makes the drydown feel polished, musk keeps it soft and close, and patchouli adds just enough earth to stop the whole thing floating away entirely. At eau de toilette strength it is comfortable to overspray, which suits a fragrance pitched this bright, and four sprays on a summer morning is not excessive. It is also a fair bet as a present, since very few people actively dislike a bright red fruit opening handled this cleanly.
Spring and summer are its natural seasons, and it works for daytime, for work and for anyone who finds heavier florals tiring. It was released in 2016. Versace has been Milanese since 1978, when Gianni Versace founded it, and Donatella Versace has led it creatively since his death.
