The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1981 by Versace, Gianni Versace is a chypre floral fragrance that encapsulates the brand's early elegance and sophistication. Perfumer Sophie Labbé crafted this composition with an intricate blend of aldehydes and spices for a bright, warm opening, followed by the rich complexity of white florals such as tuberose and jasmine. The base notes of oakmoss, benzoin, and leather add a depth that is both earthy and balsamic, creating a lasting impression of luxury.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow each note to unfold naturally. The spicy and floral accords are most noticeable close to the skin, so a few spritzes on pulse points will enhance its longevity without overpowering.
