The original: Versace Eros EDT
Fresh mint and apple over warm tonka-ambroxan -- powerful, masculine, and universally loved. Already in our database but this covers the EDT specifically.
| Dupe | Match | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Dossier Ambery Mint EDP | 87% | $29 |
| Dua Fragrances Greatness | 87% | $33 |
| Maison Alhambra Versencia Oro EDP | 86% | $28 |
Eros EDT retails around $85.
How we score. Every percentage comes from cross-referencing note pyramids against Fragrantica and brand-official sources, then weighting what people who own both fragrances actually report. We don't publish anything below 85%, and we say when something barely clears.

#2Dua Fragrances Greatness
Shares with the original: Mint, Green Apple, Lemon, Tonka Bean, Geranium, Ambroxan, Vanilla, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Oakmoss
A complete note-for-note match with Eros EDT, oakmoss included. Two independent reviewers who bought bottles back it up: FragranceReview says it "captures the overall essence of this iconic fragrance," and Best Men's Colognes calls it worth trying if you want to replace your Eros bottle at a lower price. Read the caveats before buying. The same reviewers describe it as "much more linear" than Eros, with "subdued" ambroxan, weaker projection and a scent trail that goes very subtle after a few hours -- expect to reapply mid-day. Dua fragrances also need weeks of maceration to settle. One thing to know: Dua state they modelled this on the vintage 2012 Eros formulation, and reviewers report current Eros bottles open with a sharper lemon than they used to. This is a dupe of the Eros people remember rather than precisely the one on shelves now.

#3Maison Alhambra Versencia Oro EDP
Shares with the original: Mint, Lemon, Tonka Bean, Ambroxan, Geranium, Vanilla, Vetiver, Oakmoss, Cedarwood
Maison Alhambra Versencia Oro is the community-confirmed Versace Eros EDT alternative — same mint-apple-tonka-vanilla-vetiver DNA at a fraction of the price.
