Versace is an Italian fashion house founded in Milan in 1978 by Gianni Versace, recognised by its Medusa emblem and known for perfumes such as Eros, Dylan Blue, Bright Crystal and Crystal Noir. Scento sells Versace perfume samples and decants, so you can wear a scent before choosing a size.

Versace perfumes are bold and easy to recognise: the mint, vanilla and cedar of Eros, the fresh bergamot-and-incense Mediterranean style of Dylan Blue, and a Crystal line of soft florals.

History & heritage

Gianni Versace, born in Reggio Calabria, moved to Milan in 1972. His first collection under his own name was shown at La Permanente in Milan in March 1978, and his brother Santo Versace had joined the business in 1976. The Medusa emblem is inspired by Greek mythology and the ancient Greek heritage of Calabria.

After Gianni Versace's death in 1997 his sister Donatella became creative director. The house was later owned in part by Blackstone and then by Capri Holdings, and Prada Group completed its acquisition of Versace in December 2025.

The first Versace fragrance, Gianni Versace for Women, dates from 1981. The Crystal line began with Crystal Noir in 2004, followed by Bright Crystal in 2006 and Yellow Diamond in 2011. Eros, created by Aurélien Guichard, launched in 2012 with a Greek-mythology theme and Medusa on the bottle, and Versace Pour Homme Dylan Blue followed in 2016. Versace fragrances have been made under licence by Euroitalia since 2005.

How to choose your Versace

Versace perfume samples and decants help you tell the Eros flankers apart. A 2 ml or 5 ml decant lets you compare Eros, Eros Flame and Eros Energy side by side before you choose a size.

Choose by mood. For minty-sweet freshness, try Eros. For a warmer, spicier version, try Eros Flame, and for a citrus-led one, Eros Energy. For aquatic freshness, try Dylan Blue. For light florals, try Bright Crystal or Yellow Diamond.

Scento also sells Dylan Purple and Dylan Blush Pink for women, and Eros Najim for a caramel-and-oud direction. Check each product page for notes, longevity and projection before you choose a size.

Versace decants & perfume samples — your questions answered

Which Versace perfume should I try first?

Eros is the usual starting point for men, with mint, green apple, tonka bean and vanilla. Dylan Blue is the fresher, Mediterranean choice. For women, try Bright Crystal for a light floral or Crystal Noir Parfum for something richer.

Where can I get Versace perfume samples and decants?

Scento sells Versace perfumes as decants, including Eros, Eros Flame, Dylan Blue, Bright Crystal and Crystal Noir, so you can try a scent on skin before choosing a larger size.

What does Versace Eros smell like?

Versace Eros opens with mint, green apple and lemon. The heart is tonka bean, ambroxan and geranium, and the base is Madagascar vanilla, cedar and vetiver. It is fresh, sweet and woody.

Who makes Versace perfumes?

Versace fragrances have been made under licence by the Italian company Euroitalia since 2005. The fashion house itself was founded by Gianni Versace in Milan in 1978.

Which Versace perfume is the longest lasting?

On Scento's product pages Eros Flame and Crystal Noir Parfum are labelled long-lasting with strong projection, and Eros is labelled long-lasting with moderate projection. A 2 ml decant lets you test one on your own skin first.

Are Versace decants and perfume samples authentic?

Yes. Each Scento decant is hand-poured from an original full-sized bottle sourced through authorised European retailers — never a clone, dupe or inspired-by version. Manufacturer batch codes belong to those original bottles and are not printed on Scento decant vials.

How many sprays are in a Versace sample?

As a rough guide, a perfume atomizer gives about 10–15 sprays per millilitre, so a 2ml Versace sample is roughly 20–30 sprays, a 5ml about 50–75, and an 8ml about 80–120. Exact counts vary with the atomizer and how heavily you spray. Available sizes: 2ml, 5ml, 8ml, 30ml.

Do I pay customs or VAT on Versace samples in the EU?

No extra customs for EU orders. Scento ships Versace decants from within the EU to 27 European markets, so EU buyers pay no import duties or customs charges and usually receive their order in 1–5 business days. Orders to non-EU European countries may be subject to local import VAT set by your country, not by Scento.

Should I buy a Versace decant or a full bottle?

Buy a decant to test or rotate a scent, and a full bottle once you know you love it. A 2ml decant is only about 2–4% of a 50–100ml bottle, so it lets you wear Versace for days before committing to full-bottle price. For sealed presentation or gifting, an official boutique or authorised retailer is the better route.

Which Versace fragrance should I try first?

Versace Pour Femme Dylan Blush Pink and Eros Energy are the Versace fragrances our members reach for most, so they are the easiest place to start. If you want to explore further, Versace Pour Femme Dylan Blush Pink, Eros Energy, Eros Flame make a strong first set in affordable decant sizes.
