About This Perfume
Think bright citrus, sweet spice, soft cedar: that is Versace V/S Versus. It opens with lime, orange and mandarin orange, moves into cinnamon, carnation and jasmine and settles on cedar and musk. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days. Released in 1998.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: citrus is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike warm spicy fragrances.
Around $23.
