This week, we’ve handpicked the award-winning Versace Eros eau de toilette 50 ml to give away to one lucky Scent Lodge newsletter subscriber.
Versace Eros is a fresh citrus-woody scent that has won numerous awards around the world. It’s a top 10 men’s scent in countries around the globe appealing to guys of all backgrounds, styles and ages. The scent blends notes of mint oil, green apple, Italian lemon, tonka bean (smells like vanilla), ambroxan, geranium flower, Atlas Cedar, Madagascar vanilla and oakmoss. It was created by perfumer Aurelien Guichard.
You can see Donatella Versace’s attention to detail on the bottle. The heavy glass flacon features the medusa emblem and the greek key design. Donatella chose this shade of blue to reflect the Mediterranean Sea. Even the cap features a gold Medusa detail. It’s the perfect Father’s Day gift.

March 17, 2022 at 2:56 pmI prefer the scent but having a sturdy bottle is always great. I like to display my fragrances on a pretty tray I have on my dresser. I like bottles that are not tippy and ones that stand sturdy. Thanks gor the chance!

March 16, 2022 at 10:16 pmFragrance bottle design and packaging is important to me. The visual look of the bottle design is incredibly important as the first impression. After it catches my eye, than juice matters, if I make a purchase. Itβs about the fragrance, but I bought perfume just for a bottle, like Very Good Girl(because I like red stiletto π π)
Thanks for a chance to win this sexy Eros!
I love the bottle with Medusa, which screams Versace!

March 16, 2022 at 6:54 pmI honestly don’t care what the bottle looks like. Some of the fancier and heavier bottles are slippery to use in a damp bathroom if you have moisturizer residue on your hands …or they are too tall and top heavy/tippy (looking at you Kenzo) which is a danger if you have a cat in the house. A clean-looking, clear or perhaps slightly tinted, fluid in a simple bottle looks more modern imho.

March 16, 2022 at 6:38 pmI love a good bottle, but if the fragrance isn’t up to snuff it’s not enough to get me to buy it! @ellstar

March 15, 2022 at 10:01 pmThe bottle is what draws me to the fragrance. The scent is very important, but it must be in a well-designed bottle!

Linda Bragg
March 15, 2022 at 8:51 pmI believe the bottle design is important, although IF I did not care for the scent of the fragrance, it would not sway me to make a purchase. And when I like the fragrance, I enjoy the fragrance even better when the bottle design is unique and complimentary to the name and scent of the fragrance. @ldystetson101

March 15, 2022 at 8:12 pmI wouldn’t buy a fragrance that I didn’t like, but I might not buy a fragrance if I hated the bottle (unless I utterly adored the fragrance, which would override everything!). I do think packaging is very important, as it speaks to the aspirational nature of fragrance. I have styles of bottles which I prefer or which I would avoid, and these likes/dislikes are part of what I see as my style.

March 15, 2022 at 7:56 pmIt’s a beautiful designed bottle but honestly the scent inside is more important for me and if I love it I’ll go for it no matter how the bottle looks like, of course that Versace never disappoints ππ₯°

March 15, 2022 at 5:48 pmThe most important to me is the shape and colour of the bottle then the packaging, then the scent.

March 15, 2022 at 5:16 pmWhile I’m drawn to a beautiful bottle, it’s the scent inside that really matters. Fingers crossed for this one. I just got a sample from Sephora for hubby, and it is such a beautiful scent. Thanks

March 15, 2022 at 4:33 pmI think the visual appearance of the bottle is as important as the fragrance because it gives you the invitation to your daily fragrance personality.

March 15, 2022 at 4:29 pmThe presentation (bottle) is great but scent & how it reacts is key!.

March 15, 2022 at 3:31 pmPackaging is irrelevant, it’s ALL about the scent. If there’s a beautiful bottle (for example Chanel’s Coco de Mademoiselle) but it doesn’t suit my body chemistry, it doesn’t matter. I do love beautiful bottles, but I don’t collect them… Versace EROS is a wonderful scent for me (green apple, tonka bean with vanilla) & the bottle is beautiful. I had no idea that the blue was the color of the Mediterranean Sea, but now that you mention it, the bottle is the same color as the sea. Thanks, Dave! @PeconicLady

March 15, 2022 at 7:23 pmPersonally for me I like the way a bottle looks cause it adds a lot to the scent itself. It makes it seem larger then life and more intense or subtle depending on the fragrance.
