Chinotto opens it, the bitter Italian citrus used in amaro and in bitter sodas, sour and resinous with no sweetness in it, and black pepper adds a dry burn on top. Rosemary carries the middle alone, green and resinous and faintly medicinal, which keeps everything austere for a good deal longer than most men's fragrances would dare to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe end of it is warm. Vanilla brings the sweetness, patchouli the earth, and vetiver a dry rooty smoke, and the three of them together produce a finish that is comforting without ever becoming sugary. Six materials, composed by Olivier Pescheux, and the contrast between the bitter start and the warm close is the point of the whole thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a present it works best for somebody who already takes an interest in fragrance and wears it in the evening rather than out of habit. It is not a safe neutral choice; it has a strong and distinct character, which is exactly why it is worth giving to the right person and a mistake to give to the wrong one. Cold weather and nights out suit it, offices a good deal less so, and a light hand suits it best of all. The set is boxed and needs nothing doing to it before it is handed over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVersace has been in Milan since 1978 and in Donatella Versace's hands since her brother Gianni, who founded it, died. The Eros line is the best known of the men's fragrances it puts its name to.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Versace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53291922358599,"sku":"BTS401956","price":82.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/bts401956.webp?v=1775850069","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/versace-eros-flame-eau-de-parfum-gift-set-bts401956","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
