The story behind the bottle.
V/S Versus by Versace was launched in 1998, crafted by Jean-Pierre Béthouart. This fragrance opens with bright citrus notes of lime and orange, which give way to a warm spicy heart of cinnamon and carnation. The composition then evolves into a white floral base of jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, anchored by woody and sweet undertones of cedar and musk. V/S Versus is an exploration of contrasts — the crispness of citrus meets the warmth of spices, while florals provide an unexpected softness.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — the bright citrus top notes are fleeting but impactful. The spicy and floral heart will gradually take over, making it perfect for daytime wear that transitions seamlessly into the evening.
