The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012 by Versace, Vanitas Eau de Toilette is crafted by perfumer Dora Baghriche and offers a delicate balance of floral and fruity notes. The fragrance opens with the freshness of freesia and osmanthus, giving way to a heart of rose and tiare flower, before settling into a base of tea and cedar. This composition creates an elegant yet approachable scent that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Vanitas is best enjoyed close to skin rather than from across the room. Apply two sprays to the pulse points for a gentle yet lasting presence throughout the day.
