The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1989, V'E by Versace is a chypre floral fragrance that captures the essence of Italian elegance and sophistication. Created by perfumer Sophie Labbé, this composition opens with aldehydes and green notes, giving way to the brightness of African orange flower and bergamot. The heart of narcissus, rose, ylang-ylang, cyclamen, jasmine, orris root, and lily-of-the-valley adds a lush floral depth, while oak moss, heliotrope, Virginia cedar, sandalwood, amber, and musk form the warm and powdery base. V'E is a lasting blend that embodies Versace's enduring legacy of chic and refined scents.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points — V'E's aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting, while the powdery base lingers close to skin. It reads best in cooler temperatures when the floral heart is more pronounced.
