Maison Alhambra
Versencia Oro
“Eros’s minty-sweet swagger — the going-out cologne that never apologizes for being loud.”
Maison Alhambra's 2022 Versencia Oro is widely positioned as an alternative to Versace Eros (2012): mint and green apple open over tonka, settling on Madagascar vanilla. Aromatic and vanilla accords lead, with green, amber and fresh-spicy facets. The mint and apple give a bright, sweet-green opening, and the vanilla softens the drydown into a smooth warmth. A summer and spring daytime scent.
