The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2000 by Versace, Essence Emotional is an evocative Floral Green fragrance that embodies the brand's signature blend of elegance and sensuality. The composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot and ylang-ylang, followed by the lush sweetness of mango and lily. As it settles into a base of vanilla, musk, and cedar, Essence Emotional transforms from an uplifting floral-aromatic opening to a warm, enveloping finish that reads as both powdery and woody.
Apply Essence Emotional to pulse points for a long-lasting effect. The fragrance's aromatic top notes fade within two hours, but the rich base of musk and vanilla continues to linger throughout the day.
