Blind Buy : Versace Eros Pour Femme

‘Versace, Versace, Medusa head on me like I’m ‘Luminati’ -Migos

I usually do not blind buy perfumes, unless it’s a bargain/ sale buy. Nowadays some stores do not want to take an open perfume back, for good reason, I guess. :-/ That’s a whole other post completely, so anyway.

I became interested in Versace Eros Pour Femme after watching a YouTube collection video. At that time, I did not buy right away, because there was a list of others I really wanted to try first, like YSL Parisienne, Mon Paris, some throwback from Calvin Klein, etc.

Well, I saw this online yet again and decided to give it a try, if for nothing else, the PACKAGING. The packaging of Versace Eros Pour Femme SCREAMS Versace. It’s over the top, gaudy (in the best way), and should  I say, sexy? YES, I should. Versace is one of the sexiest clothing brands to ever hit a runway, that I have seen in my short lifetime and it offers up no apologies. That makes it sassy too. To own perfume by the design house is to own a drip of that sexy, in no better way than by tantalizing your sense of smell. 😉

Anyway, I am very glad that I did my research and found out that the Eau de Toilette is better than the Eau de Parfum version of this perfume. Totally understandable. I have found that some scents are simply lighter in the Eau de toilette versions, while others can actually smell totally different.

Here is what I have to say about Versace Eros Pour Femme (Eau de toilette): I WISH I’d of bought the BIG daddy, BIG bottle. I purchased the 1.7 oz, because I have so many other perfumes, but this perfume is amazing and think I would have definitely gotten through a larger 3.4 oz. Small sizes are good for blind buys, though. It even comes in a 1 oz size, which is nice.

I would even say that if you are in the rare group of people that do not like D&G Light Blue like me, but would like a citrus scent for the spring/summer, try this.

What this smells like to me: This juice is very citrusy with a sweetness behind it. It actually smells like candy, but it smells very clean at the same time. I find it to be much better than Versace Yellow Diamond as a comparison.

The Packaging: It’s a LOVE for me. First of all, the entire box is gold. There is a lot of gold all over with the signature Medusa head on the cap and framing the front.  It really represents the styling of the brand well. The cap snaps into place on top. The Medusa symbol head is also inside the cap top, which is a nice little touch. The bottle is clear on the front of the Eau de toilette version, which shows the yellow juice.

Overall, I feel like I am late on this purchase but glad I finally did get it. It feels like a warmer weather scent to me so far.
