V/S Versus

V/S Versus by Versace is a 1998 creation that embodies the bold, glamorous spirit of late-nineties Italian fashion. The opening is a vibrant citrus trio of lime, orange, and mandarin that creates an immediate sense of Mediterranean sunshine and energy.

The heart transitions into a warm, spicy-floral blend of cinnamon, carnation, jasmine, and lily of the valley. The cinnamon is the star here, providing a warm, sweet spiciness that gives the fragrance its distinctive character and separates it from lighter floral-citrus compositions.

Jasmine and carnation add sensuality while lily of the valley contributes a fresh, green delicacy. The base of cedar and musk provides a clean, woody-musky foundation that allows the spicy floral heart to shine.

This is a fragrance that perfectly captures the Versace aesthetic, bold, beautiful, and unapologetically glamorous.
