The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, Vanitas by Versace is a floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Dora Baghriche. The composition opens with the brightness of lime before transitioning into a heart of tiare flower and freesia, bringing a sense of luminosity and freshness. The base notes of Virginia cedar and tonka bean provide warmth and depth, creating an overall harmony that is both elegant and sensual.
Apply one to two sprays for a balanced experience. The lime top note is bright but fleeting, while the floral heart and woody base provide lasting warmth throughout the day.
