The story behind the bottle.
Versace Man was launched in 2003 and crafted by perfumer Domitille Michalon Bertier, bringing a bold and sophisticated scent to the Versace portfolio. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes like pepper and cardamom, which cut through the sweetness of saffron and neroli. As it settles, the warm tobacco and amber accords create a rich, enveloping base, grounded by woody and musky undertones that add depth and complexity.
For best effect, apply two sprays to your pulse points. The fresh spicy top notes fade within an hour, but the rich base continues to evolve on skin for hours. Best suited for daytime to early evening wear.
