Versace Blue Jeans Notes Breakdown

Versace Blue Jeans opens with citruses, bergamot, juniper, anise, brazilian rosewood and basil — the first impression as it hits the skin. As the opening settles, the composition pivots to its heart of lavender, rose, carnation, jasmine, heliotrope, geranium, sage, fir and lily-of-the-valley. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, iris, musk, amber, cedar, patchouli and vetiver.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads aromatic, fresh spicy — easy to place and easy to wear.
