V/S Homme

Beautiful, simply beautiful...one of the best Versace man scents I've smelled! This has all the class and elegance of Versace in a modern, sheer yet manly cologne...I cannot stop sniffing my wrists! This begins with clear and bright citrus along with the perfect blend of herbs, spices and flowers. None of these really stand out as single notes but together they are better than any of them could be alone. It's watery, green and fresh without feeling fake or generic. The heart goes in a more floral direction, but the nutmeg and sage keep it masculine; warm spring breezes and summer rains come to mind. The drydown is equally stunning: tonka and cashmere wood give it a laid back oriental feel; but cedar, vetiver and oakmoss add a woody green feel and the amber and musk make it so sweet and natural smelling on my skin. Despite the complicated notes listed, this is really a simple scent that oozes style and excellent crafting. For their first scent of the new millenium, I'd say Versace did quite well...Gianni would have been proud!! Sillage: good Longevity: above average Overall: 4.5/5 I have many fragrances from this house, and love Versace in general, so maybe I am biased-but this scent is just awesome! This blows Eau Fraiche and Pour Homme (2008) out of the water. Cool, but sexy; simple, but elegant; wonderfully made and so so beautiful. If you have to...sell something to get this...

One of my all-time favorite scent. One of the good ones from the early days of Versace. It's a good blend of both masculine spices and freshness and soft feminine florality. The muskiness at the end is very personal and intimate. I always have extra bottle of this or always purchase whenever I find one on the market.

I bought this for my bestest male buddy.... it smells sooo good, I had to get a bottle for myself. I don't normally wear men colgne but this smell like fresh citrus, baby powder.... it resembles jean paul gaultier le male but more floral and better.

This was good one by Versace. Would be great to see a modern version of it.

Versace V/S Homme opens with a moderate projection of citrus, green and spicy accords. The citrus notes come up as slightly sweet, mostly orange. The spicy accords are prominent, particularly coriander, vetiver, cardamom, and mint. The floral accords are just a touch in the background. As the fragrance dries down, the citrus accords significantly dissipate leaving the green accords at the top. The green accords can be described as very herbaceous, mossy, and grassy giving the fragrance a classy touch, old-school style. The woody accords in the blend are mostly fresh and sharp cedar and oakmoss with a humid forest moss-like scent. The most significant change from the opening to the dry-down is the almost entirely dissipation of the citrus accords. Once Versace V/S Homme has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, very green (vetiver, mint, cardamon), spicy (coriander), woody and mossy fragrance with very soft floral tones. The fragrance feels classy, cold, earthy, grassy, herbaceous, mature, old-school, masculine, and mildly pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020. WOW RATING: 9/10. The strong green and spicy accords are impressive. DISLIKE RATING: 5/10. Some people will find offensive the strong green and spicy accords. The fragrance feels mature, old-school. UNIQUENESS: 9/10.

Relatively versatility, it can be worn for many occasions including the office. GENDER: Masculine. The green and spicy accords lean it to the masculine side. AGES: 40 and up.

RECOMMENDATION: Enjoying this fragrance requires a well-defined appreciation for green and spicy accords and fragrances for mature wearers. If that is the case, then this is a good buy. Others may want to consider alternatives. BLIND-BUY: No, sample it first, the green and spicy accords are peculiar. SIMILAR: Versace V/S Homme is a close relative of Acqua Di Parma Men Colonia Club Eau De Cologne, another green and spicy old-school fragrance.
