Fragrance Notes Deep Dive

Every great fragrance tells a story in three acts, and Versace Versense is no exception. The opening salvo presents Bergamot, Citruses, Green Mandarin, Fig and Pear, hitting the skin with immediate impact and establishing the character of what follows.

This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of Virginia Cedar, Musk, Olive Tree and Sandalwood anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Versace Versense leaves long after you have left the room.
