About This Perfume
Versace Versense comes across as cool citrus with a green floral sea breeze. It opens with bergamot, green mandarin orange and prickly pear, moves into sea lily, cardamom and jasmine and settles on musk, cedarwood and olive wood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days and the office. Released in 2009.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, 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: fresh is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.
Around $33.
