A stirring fragrance reminiscent of the Greek god of love, with energy spikes that add a luxurious edge. The distinctly square bottle features a striking texture, embedded with Versace’s signature elements and details of Medusa and Greca. It radiates class and style. It starts with an overwhelming splash of vitality from the mix of Italian lemon and mandarin, which is further energised by mint oil and the unique note of candied apple. This leads to a heart of geranium, clary sage, and amber, then transitions into a woody base of cedarwood, vetiver, and patchouli for a smoother finish. Finally, it slowly deepens to a satisfying vanilla with playful notes of leather. It has a distinctive, resting-but-creamy effect, surrounded by an exhilarating character. Who will appreciate this perfume? An ambitious man with a craving for attention.
