Versus

Well, it's obvious to me that no-one knows the scent of the flower stephanotis, because for me it is the dominant scent in Versus. Immediately upon spraying, I smell this heavenly flower, and it is there right through the day. It's a beautiful, sweet, fresh, delicate scent, with a slight crisp edge, which I love! Also, the very beginning has the wonderful scents of kumquat, star apple and delicious lemon, followed after about an hour by the other flowers, gorgeous rose and scintillating african orange flower. Ooooh so sweet, slightly sour, and intoxicating! Then, at about 2 hours comes the lovely soft gentle musk, with wonderful wonderful patchouli and scrumptious ambrette. All in all a fabulous creation!!! I think Versus is exactly what Donatella apparently wanted: it is for a strong-willed, adventurous woman. It is so fresh, invigorating and yet soft and sweet and very alluring. Longevity is fantastic (well over 12 hours), and sillage: nicely gently surrounding me by a couple of feet most of that time, and then moving closer to me for the last few hours. A completely perfect perfume - thank you Donatella Versace!!! I am a woman who is her own person, and does not like to be categorised - like Versus!!! Excellent perfume, GORGEOUS, stunning bottle and colour too; such a perfect strong purple!! Total perfection all round!! Edit: Forgot to say how much I love the box too - such a fabulous design, and that purple!!! The best colour!!

First of all I must say that I LovE citrus notes and also that I have never tried a Versace scent I didn't like. Versus is no exception. The initial citrus notes are Strong and I understand how some people could find that offputing. I could wallow in it. But there's no time for wallowing, the top notes mellow and different notes seem to fade in and out and mix in varying combinations of fresh fruit, light floral and a delightfully smooth musk. I have read the advertising blurb and the reviews on here. I don't get the 'this is suitable for.. a confident woman... a teenager... a man..'etc. I do think the scent could be unisex but really I think it is best suited to whoever likes it. :) I once used to wear the original formulation of CK Escape. It was fruity, fresh and oceanic. The newer version has yellow florals and I have been looking for something that comes close to the original. I can't say Versus smells like the original Escape but it is more than a worthy replacement. I am wearing this in the first week of winter on what has been a cold, sunny day (gotta love this weather!). Versus seems crisp but not out of place and has sprinkles of warming notes. I am looking forward to seeing what this does in summer.

On my skin, the top notes smells of crisp bunch of flowers picked after a soft rain. It does smell very similar to Flora by Gucci but a little fresher and lighter. The projection is quiet strong at first then settles a little but still very present as I get whiffs of a fresh, feminine scent as I move and the lasting on my skin is roughly 7 hours at the least and if some of it happen to spill on my clothes or just from coming in contact like on my scarfs then I can smell it on my clothes until it gets washed. I To sum it up, I would say it not a sexy fragrance, but classy, elegant and powerful...can be a little cold. This requires authority thus I can see this much preferred by executives and people that are risk takers that does not conform to the norm of the usual preferences of sweet, light or heavy scents that are flooding the market. I must admit this is one of those fragrances that you will either love or hate, it is powerful and different (not unique) and I love it!!

This has instantly become my signature scent!!! I am totally and completely head over heels in love with it! Oh my god, it's the most gorgeous thing I've ever smelled!! All the notes are there and strong! It lasts easily all day without needing a re-spray, and the sillage is fantastic!! Oh I LOVE IT!!! It's SO feminine! So intensely womanly - female! and strong - very sure of herself womanly. Very settled in herself and can do whatever she wants, whenever and however she wants. It's all about her own strong will. She doesn't have to prove anything to anyone, and she feels unique. She IS Versus! She is BEAUTIFUL! She is the colour purple - this strong, Royal Purple - the highest Queen!! Nothing comes anywhere near her perfection! BEAUTIFUL!!! I bow down and worship her!!!

This fragrance is the first fragrance after a long time that brought me back the hope. Before smelling this perfume, all my hopes in fragrance industry were lost. I was so frighten that this industry lost its ability to create smth new and original, that I bought for myself some fruity shampoo fragrances to try it. And for couple of weeks I tried to enjoy these shampoos in glam bottles. But...I tested Versus and...Tadah! I knew it that we can still create more and more interesting aromas. First you feel smth fresh and almost indistinguishable, but then the roses explode and ...the result is magic. It is smth fresh but also creamish and in the same time very delicate. Try it and you won't regret it. It is a summer fragrance but it has temper and originality.

This is one of the best perfumes ever, to my mind. I love it. It's SO refreshing; sweet and sharp and fresh. The flowers and fruit are so good together, and the patchouli, and the amber and musk smooth it all out. Everything in it is superb. A gorgeous mix. Perfect for me. And I ADORE the bottle and the fantastic purple!! Stunning! It lasts really a long time on me, and the sillage is really good (fills the room) but is not at all overpowering - it's subtle and fresh. Wonderful.

Oh I just adore this perfume. It's one of my very favourites, and I love spraying it on top of other perfumes, to give them a lift! It's a phenomenally beautiful and vitally fresh, juicy, scintillating, exhilerating, lovely divine fragrance! I love the fantastic colour, and the very smart and classy, masculine looking bottle; it gives extra intrigue to the wonderful elixir purple elixir inside! Extremely female though. Very strong and adorably female. Very heavenly!!

I wrote this off at first because, at the time, I wasn't much into "designer" perfumes (Gucci/Versace/Diesel/etc.) I read the notes on the little paper scent card at Macy's and couldn't help myself. I was surprised; it's fruity, playful, and just...happy. So bright and summery. I don't get the biggest hit of the citrus at first, on my skin the star apple and rose are most obvious, even on the dry down. This would be a nice beach or poolside fragrance.

It's a good perfume I think. Versace has really created these kind of perfume that you cant really hate or find it kinda like too much. The opening is fresh, and interesting and it also smells like passion fruit to me. A lil sweet, a lil sour, mix with some white floral notes I guess. In general, it's like a perfume for the happy/ bubbly girl with a lot of energy. But the dry down is not so much. LIke something is missing in between.

I absolutely love it, it's floral and sweet. I am just fascinated about soft perfumes. It's the second perfume I've tried and I fell in love with it immediately, and it's not over-powering at all.(I would throw up if I ever smell something overpowering) The disadvantage is,it's JUST floral, nothing else. I would recommend it to be worn at the day, as it's very gentle and approching. Suitable for sweet and quite girls.

Revisited this fragrance and consider it a love, not just a like anymore! The citrus/fruity sweetness really smells great with the rose and musk. That's what I mainly get from it, and really love the refreshing combination. Decent sillage, but only lasts 3-4 hours as its one shortcoming for me. I'm not a big musk lover, and I really find the musk dominant in this but adore it still.

I am a 17 years old guy,and this is what my girl bestfriend ussualy wears. I must say, to me,this is one of the best fragrances my nose has ever come in contact with! I totally adore this juice! With this on I always wanna get as near from her as possible ;) And seems to stay long on her, I can still smell it on her from a distance after ~6 hours.

I love it. On one hand it's fresh and citrusy and then changes almost to rough and very loud, powdery scent, which I find very alluring. It stays all day. It's scent I'd never bought tested on paper, but on me it's great. I have a decant of only few ml left :(, some it leaked on the way, received from dear friend Nathalie Z.

this i fell in love after sometime at first i thought how can this b best seller but it took time to sink in and the perfect harmony of ingredients lends this a beautiful sweet and serene fragnance i luv it absolutely and in luv good for summer and winter as well

@Nez5119 check out Amber Oud Aqua Dubai Al Haramain. I’ve been searching for a long time, haven’t found anything remotely similar until now. It’s not 1/1 but is very very close, enough for me to stop searching. Hope it works for you. Cheers.

Love it. Especially in the winter. Most people find it a summer scent, but I like how the perfume develops and shows its true notes when it's cold outside. Feels warm and cozy in the cold weather, and somehow "delicious".

I tried this. Great, great, great! I must buy a bottle:) First, the floral notes open, later the scent became powderly. In my skin it's long lasting. It's not similar Versus Donna( I have a bottle from that).

i'm loving this! crisp refreshing and the musky undertones make it irrestible. best for summer day wear i'd suppose although it could brighten up an autumn evening :)

This is a 9/10 fragrance. I love it. This is not too heavy and it smells amazing. It will never be boring in my opinion. Really good.

Versace Versus smells amazing on my skin! Citrus-musky, delicious & crispy... It is a perfect Summer scent. Yummy & sexy!
