Launched in 1999 by Yves Saint Laurent and crafted by Karine Dubreuil-Sereni, Vice Versa is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of modern femininity. The composition opens with vibrant notes of tomato and mandarin orange, creating an unexpected freshness that cuts through the sweetness of raspberry and blueberry. At its heart, tuberose and jasmine mingle with freesia and peony to create a delicate floral bouquet. The base notes of musk, iris, amber, and vanilla provide a warm, sensual finish.
