Description
The new fragrance with the same name as edition Versus from 1992 has been launched in 2010 in a bluish-purple flacon decorated with a see-through blue cap. The new fragrance introduces a brand new composition, which is fresh, playful and celebrates femininity in the same time.
“Versus is pure energy. “- stated Donatella Versace. Her wish is to dedicate this fragrance to strong-willed women who have courage for new challenges. This intense fragrance is based on strong contrasts, from romantic to very rough femininity.
This composition is taking us through various moods of femininity, from punk to melodic notes, from gentleness to roughness.
Top notes of Versace Versus introduce kumquat, star apple (Chrysophyllum cainito) and lemon; a heart is composed of orange blossom, stephanotis and Centifolia rose, while a base finishes with musk, patchouli and ambrette seed.
Versus Versace fragrance is available as 50 and 100 ml EDT, accompanied with 200 ml body milk and 200 ml bath.
The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Lorson.

Love it. Especially in the winter. Most people find it a summer scent, but I like how the perfume develops and shows its true notes when it’s cold outside. Feels warm and cozy in the cold weather, and somehow “delicious”.

Revisited this fragrance and consider it a love, not just a like anymore! The citrus/fruity sweetness really smells great with the rose and musk. That’s what I mainly get from it, and really love the refreshing combination. Decent sillage, but only lasts 3-4 hours as its one shortcoming for me. I’m not a big musk lover, and I really find the musk dominant in this but adore it still.
kravastyle – :
The first minute after spraying this perfume you smell like a teen boy. But the dry down smells like a pleasent unisex shower gel. Versace versus is a clean citrus, slightly fruity fragrance. On the skin it is not cold at all. This smell is nostalgic to me so I like it, but other than that, this is a cheapish clean smell good for the gym
PRESTIGE – :
If you are into fresh citrus acidic oceanic smells this is def one of the best ever, this is my most favourite versace frag. Always receive compliments whenever I wear this frag.
jmel – :
So disappointed! I got this as a cheap blind buy. This is not a feminine floral fruity on me but instead a male/unisex minty frag. To much gardenia for me.
RhineeOrenrep – :
This is one of the best perfumes ever, to my mind. I love it. It’s SO refreshing; sweet and sharp and fresh. The flowers and fruit are so good together, and the patchouli, and the amber and musk smooth it all out. Everything in it is superb. A gorgeous mix. Perfect for me.
And I ADORE the bottle and the fantastic purple!! Stunning!
It lasts really a long time on me, and the sillage is really good (fills the room) but is not at all overpowering – it’s subtle and fresh.
Wonderful.
alex140979 – :
Oh I just adore this perfume. It’s one of my very favourites, and I love spraying it on top of other perfumes, to give them a lift! It’s a phenomenally beautiful and vitally fresh, juicy, scintillating, exhilerating, lovely divine fragrance!
I love the fantastic colour, and the very smart and classy, masculine looking bottle; it gives extra intrigue to the wonderful elixir purple elixir inside! Extremely female though. Very strong and adorably female.
Very heavenly!!
sustanon – :
This has instantly become my signature scent!!! I am totally and completely head over heels in love with it! Oh my god, it’s the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever smelled!! All the notes are there and strong! It lasts easily all day without needing a re-spray, and the sillage is fantastic!! Oh I LOVE IT!!! It’s SO feminine! So intensely womanly – female! and strong – very sure of herself womanly. Very settled in herself and can do whatever she wants, whenever and however she wants. It’s all about her own strong will. She doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone, and she feels unique. She IS Versus! She is BEAUTIFUL! She is the colour purple – this strong, Royal Purple – the highest Queen!! Nothing comes anywhere near her perfection! BEAUTIFUL!!! I bow down and worship her!!!
kolyan67 – :
Well, it’s obvious to me that no-one knows the scent of the flower stephanotis, because for me it is the dominant scent in Versus. Immediately upon spraying, I smell this heavenly flower, and it is there right through the day. It’s a beautiful, sweet, fresh, delicate scent, with a slight crisp edge, which I love! Also, the very beginning has the wonderful scents of kumquat, star apple and delicious lemon, followed after about an hour by the other flowers, gorgeous rose and scintillating african orange flower. Ooooh so sweet, slightly sour, and intoxicating! Then, at about 2 hours comes the lovely soft gentle musk, with wonderful wonderful patchouli and scrumptious ambrette. All in all a fabulous creation!!!
I think Versus is exactly what Donatella apparently wanted: it is for a strong-willed, adventurous woman. It is so fresh, invigorating and yet soft and sweet and very alluring.
Longevity is fantastic (well over 12 hours), and sillage: nicely gently surrounding me by a couple of feet most of that time, and then moving closer to me for the last few hours. A completely perfect perfume – thank you Donatella Versace!!! I am a woman who is her own person, and does not like to be categorised – like Versus!!!
Excellent perfume, GORGEOUS, stunning bottle and colour too; such a perfect strong purple!! Total perfection all round!!
Edit: Forgot to say how much I love the box too – such a fabulous design, and that purple!!! The best colour!!
Kitos – :
Ooops, I did it again… 🙂 Another blind buy. Well… Pleasant surprise. Although I am not exactly astonished. It’s nice. It has a very sharp citrusy start. In quite short moment it dries down and turns into more flowery, bit creamy scent. Slightly bitter as well.
It is nice mixture. At the moment I’m not sure if I’ll buy another one. But maybe I’ll get mad about it over the time. It’s just my first day. Things may change… 😉
Hanskern – :
Versace Versus smells amazing on my skin! Citrus-musky, delicious & crispy… It is a perfect Summer scent. Yummy & sexy!
Eynur89 – :
At first thought its a man frag and accidentally bought for my fiance.It smell so strong at first i tried at the store and after find out it was for women and spray it to my skin, i think it perfectly suits me.Really nice smell.
(So i need to buy a new one for him)
Aburatall – :
Wow, just dreamy!! Exotic Fruity Goodness! Love!
Led – :
One of those perfumes you have to use because it was given to you as a gift. I endured it.
mishunja – :
Fresh, sparkling, delicious fragrance but unfortunately too light. I had to overspray it every two hours to perceive its scent.
hmnu8603 – :
This smells like orange. Ripped and pure. Orange actually has that strange metallic note if you ever noticed. But very soon Versus turns to non-descriptive floral musky scent and very close to skin. Lasts about 3-4 hours. I would recommend it for someone liking Light Blue or Happy.
jgq454speagoessenda – :
This isnt a head turner, yet it has a different quality, of being airy, versatile, with a hint of floral notes, on a clean musk base.. I like that it is hard to define, hard to pinpoint..it smells very nice, it is light, easy to wear, and yet leaves a lasting impression…I would think it would work perfect fo women who don’t like overly feminine scents, it has a dual nature, of laid back , and a certain aura of mystery..
I like it..
FireMont – :
Citrus and flowers of course….Versace …..nothing very special though but it is a pleasant scent suitable for spring-summer . Is it just me or is this bottle like really hard to open every time?
pfu344speagoessenda – :
Got this as a blind buy at a great price. My first impression after spraying it was that it was not what I would consider a typical female scent. In the first few minutes I got almost a minty smell from it, which dries down to a lovely soft musk. I also detect a woodsy smell in the drydown, which I LOVE! I love that this manages a musky/woodsy drydown WITHOUT a powdery note, which I detest! Very pleased with my blind buy, but I will say, I am pretty sure this could be a unisex scent, as it does not have a super floral bouquet to it 🙂
belias – :
First of all I must say that I LovE citrus notes and also that I have never tried a Versace scent I didn’t like. Versus is no exception. The initial citrus notes are Strong and I understand how some people could find that offputing. I could wallow in it. But there’s no time for wallowing, the top notes mellow and different notes seem to fade in and out and mix in varying combinations of fresh fruit, light floral and a delightfully smooth musk.
I have read the advertising blurb and the reviews on here. I don’t get the ‘this is suitable for.. a confident woman… a teenager… a man..’etc. I do think the scent could be unisex but really I think it is best suited to whoever likes it. 🙂
I once used to wear the original formulation of CK Escape. It was fruity, fresh and oceanic. The newer version has yellow florals and I have been looking for something that comes close to the original. I can’t say Versus smells like the original Escape but it is more than a worthy replacement.
I am wearing this in the first week of winter on what has been a cold, sunny day (gotta love this weather!). Versus seems crisp but not out of place and has sprinkles of warming notes. I am looking forward to seeing what this does in summer.
YElya – :
Picked this up as a blind buy. Although it smells really nice in the bottle, it’s really strong & overwhelming on me for the first 30+ minutes. When it settles down its very nice but florally on me. Not sure on this one.
Update: this scent totally offends my nose. Way too strong on me and lasts for hours & hours even after showering – complete headache inducer.
P1RS17 – :
Got this perfume hoping for some citrus floral but I just feel the citrus part. Not unpleasant but it just reminds me too much of several perfumes for men. I’ve been more into girly perfumes (floral, fruity, or sweet) and this one is missing that element for me.
Longevity is very poor on me but that happens a lot.
Love the bottle though! Simple but has a little touch of different.
Lestat-85 – :
I am a 17 years old guy,and this is what my girl bestfriend ussualy wears.
I must say, to me,this is one of the best fragrances my nose has ever come in contact with! I totally adore this juice!
With this on I always wanna get as near from her as possible 😉
And seems to stay long on her, I can still smell it on her from a distance after ~6 hours.
Ilya01 – :
Fresh citrus opening, mouthwatering. A clean sea breace in the background.
A simple, uncomplicated summerfragrance for all ages.
levdim – :
Some time ago I decided that I was not going to purchase any fragrance just because it was on sale and save my money for perfumes that I really, really need (want). As I tend to do with scents, I cheated myself and got this one and Versense for fairly cheap. At first I was really excited, I had wanted this for quite a long time. I own Bright Crystal and though I really like it, its lasting power is not the best, at most. I had tried this one and it seemed similar to Bright Crystal but a bit stronger, I was sold,I thought it would last longer and thus, it would be a smart buy. So, when I saw it for almost half the price, I went on and bought it. Mistake, though the fragance is really nice, I detected citrus and fruit in the opening, some musk, some rose in the middle, nice round smell, fresh, non offensive, perfect for a spring morning, such as today. The problem is that it only lasts for about 2 o 3 hours at most. For real, after that time I couldn’t even detect it on my clothes. Shame, I think I’ll layer the two to try to get more longevity. So, lesson learned, I’ll save my money for scents that I’m 100% sure suit me, last on me and that are absolute love for me.
VampiR2012 – :
Interesting musky scent. Some time ago I didn’t like it, but my taste has changed since then and now I think that this scent is teasing in very positive way. It says – here I am – and surrounds you with orange-musky cloud. Good clubbing & evening out scent.
cosal82 – :
This is actually rather good.
It’s very musky on me and a little bit sweet too.
I don’t detect much florals just some citrus in the opening.
This is perfect for summer and spring.
Very unexpensive too.
егорка – :
On my skin, the top notes smells of crisp bunch of flowers picked after a soft rain. It does smell very similar to Flora by Gucci but a little fresher and lighter. The projection is quiet strong at first then settles a little but still very present as I get whiffs of a fresh, feminine scent as I move and the lasting on my skin is roughly 7 hours at the least and if some of it happen to spill on my clothes or just from coming in contact like on my scarfs then I can smell it on my clothes until it gets washed. I
To sum it up, I would say it not a sexy fragrance, but classy, elegant and powerful…can be a little cold.
This requires authority thus I can see this much preferred by executives and people that are risk takers that does not conform to the norm of the usual preferences of sweet, light or heavy scents that are flooding the market.
I must admit this is one of those fragrances that you will either love or hate, it is powerful and different (not unique) and I love it!!
vov3278 – :
Great one for everyday at the office. Starting off with citrus and drying down to a musk. No offensive notes overall very pleasant perfume.
TheCrimee – :
This scent is full of citrus. It’s quite strong and a little soapy in my opinion.
Not an impressive fragrance, but an okay everyday scent.
I wouldn’t buy it, but I would wear it if I got it as a present or something.
Neteli333 – :
This was a blind buy for me and at first I was not that impressed. Citrus and musk – how original…but overtime I’ve realized that I wear Versus quite a bit – it’s simple but effective for when I want to smell light and fresh (which is most of the time). It also settles well on my skin. This scent smells very similar to the Bath and Body Shop’s White Citrus body lotion (perfect for layering). When I want more of an edge, I love to wear Versus with Chopard Madness. I think they go nicely together.
Xeroxexynp – :
My son bought this for me, for my birthday last year and I love it! This time of year I start reaching for the lighter scents.
It’s is a fresh clean scent that starts out lemony then turns to a powdery musk with a slight hint of floral. It’s great for spring and summer. Light, airy, fresh!
My husband has not complained about it, which is fantastic! He is quick to let me know when what I’m wearing bothers him.
sts87 – :
I sprayed this and D&G Light Blue which are both light and citrusy to me. The amber, and perhaps patchouli, keeps it powdery and earthy. The citrus fades quickly after application. I am left with a “dirty” floral which I like as it doesn’t stab my nose like fruity-floral perfumes. It is a bit sweet but the citrus keeps tooth-decay at bay. Not unique but lovely. Inoffensive sillage and scent. Found it many times for $20 at Shoppers and am debating if worth it. I sprayed it in the air and some may have landed on me so hubby smelled it and said I smelled great.
Two sprays on me:
Sillage: hug-me distance
Longevity: about 4 hours
Rating: 3.5/5
amamtedge – :
I bought this yesterday and I couldn’t wait to try it out!
I simply love the scent which, to me smells more like grapefruit?? and when it drys down only musk…
The problem with this perfume is its longevity, which goes only to 2 or 3 hours.
I am a little disappointed as I expected more, considering its price.
Cergoaxomemat – :
Versus for women? I thought it was a men’s frag. Luckily it was cheap . It reminded me of ck shock
Nainoneaday – :
I dont know if I share Donatellas opinion about this scent, I got slightley confused when reading that it’s dedicated to ‘strong-willed women who have the courage for new challenges’
It’s a NICE scent, wich I do enjoy, but it’s not a head turner or a ‘wow, what is she wearing?’ kind of scent, not at all. It’s a young, (by that I dont mean teenage) but playful and not very serious pefume. It’s a light lemony, fruity, airy and a little sweet perfume. It’s a to go perfume, it’s an easy to wear ‘what ever’kind of perfume.
It’s probably not the first bottle you will reach for and not the last either. It’s for those days when you don’t know what to wear and you mainly just want to feel clean and fresh.
Sillage and lasting power is not great, but acceptable. Would say a few hours at most. It’s a safe card if you are looking for a gift. Would gladly gift it to girls/women up to 25 if Im not sure about their taste in perfumes.
gidrogarant – :
This is a unique aroma. It gives you the feeling of easiness and always rinda of your feminity. It underlines the lady’s excellent taste. The one who wears it is neither strict nor playful. This perfume is perfect for any season, any time of the day, any ooccassion.
KakWooria – :
It’s a good scent for citrus musk lovers but it could only be used effectively in summer or spring time – in cold weather it soon disappears into oblivion. It also is really clean, fresh, energizing, therefore really good for ‘sweaty’ occasions such as club, gym, outdoors. Great morning-day or office scent as well. Not a full bodied fragrance at all and many probably would find it ‘lacking’. It’s pretty unisex and versatile. Maybe those who like CK One would find this one appealing as well.
Davamilioner – :
this is the, theorically feminine fragance most suitable for men I have ever smelled
Ezalor89 – :
I find this fragrance to be very refreshing and relaxing. It is the only one I can wear to bed without being irritated by it. Also, it seems quite tropical.
марсол – :
I have been wearing this for a few days now and am absolutely loving it! Fresh citrusy opening calming to a gentle, musky fragrance that lingers at the fork in the road trying to choose between feminine and masculine before finally heading down a warm, subtle feminine path – but just barely. Enjoyable, well named and good for day wear.
DofsDoumb – :
I am SOOO disappointed in this fragrance. I purchased it because I assumed it would be similar to the original Versus (my personal fave before it was discontinued). Absolutely nothing alike! Why then, call it the same name – did they run out of ideas? I feel ripped off. It reminds me of a toilet cleaner smell with the exception that toilet cleaner lasts longer. Save your money!
dswwee – :
A romantic fragrance. A mouthwatering citrus note welcomes you into this fragrance. Then it tones down projecting a harmeless floral note, a good mix in which I can’t detect any flower in particular, and then it develops into a sweet mix of musk and fruit. Pleasant. Glad to know this fragrance. Although… I will always choose something else to put on. It can be a good summer fragrance because all in all it is fresh and not too powerful.
Fatalord – :
Both yes and no. I am very unsure about this fragrance. It is really in between. Very easy to forget it and choose something else instead. I think it smells good, but it’s somehow not enough. It’s like a very expensive room refresher.
kosta6680 – :
A very nice floral fruity. Fresh, sweet, has a certain “deodorant” quality to it, but by no means a young girl’s fragrance, No! It develops into a nice soapy classic perfume.
I find Versace’s perfumes very unique and with alot of character, they resemble no others .My favorites are Versense, Vanitas and Versus (the three v’s)
dmitrij1077 – :
HOW CAN I DECIDE IF I LIKE THIS OR NOT- IT COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED AFTER 5 MINUTES~!! …those moments we shared together were nice, I guess *shrug*
Yorik – :
A boring fruit mash. Nothing special at all. Bought it and gave it away immediately. What a disappointment because I like the bottle and promotion.
lelik79 – :
i’m loving this! crisp refreshing and the musky undertones make it irrestible. best for summer day wear i’d suppose although it could brighten up an autumn evening 🙂
JoshuaBB5 – :
i used to love it. now i have another taste, but it’s really sexy! smells clean and glamorous. better in summer.
vitek67 – :
I was so excited to find this fragrance for a steal at TJ Maxx! I have wanted to test it for a long time and I couldn’t pass it up!
Versus by Versace didn’t disappoint – the opening is a bright citrus and smells a bit unisex one second and totally feminine the next. The florals are subdued, and overall it is slightly musky, but not in a heavy, musty sort of way. I never got much of the patchouli – the fragrance stayed really fresh throughout, even with the musk. This will be wonderful for summer wear! A great fragrance, I highly recommend!
sanitar – :
Pink grapefruit dominates in top note. As it dries down, it becomes just a fresh citrus that is pleasant to keep sniffing on my hand. It reminds me of Touch of Pink.
Nice for my gym bag. Currently $20 at Shoppers.
On me:
Sillage: about a foot for the first hour; close to skin afterwards
Longevity: about four to five hours
Rating: 3/5
sssrleo – :
This is a 9/10 fragrance. I love it. This is not too heavy and it smells amazing. It will never be boring in my opinion. Really good.
jurijus – :
Had this one on my “I want” list for some time and was so excited to find it in Marshall’s the other day. I was not dissapointed – this is a great fresh summery scent. I tested it when I got home in the evening. First, it seems too strong, too citrusy, too fresh, but let it settle down a bit and some sweet warm notes appear, so soft and quiet, so nice. The next morning when I woke up I still could smell it. Clean, musky, subtle scent. But I think it will be more suitable for spring and summer time. It’s not cozy enough for winter/fall when you want your perfume to embrace you like a warm blanket. It’s fresh, bright, uplifting scent. Very good. I am going to wear it in the sunny spring or summer days. Great for office I think.
dcb403speagoessenda – :
in the opening all i get is a sweet lemon, which already bothers me a bit since i dont like lemon or citrus scents. after that it develops into a muskier scent with some patchouli while the lemon lingers on. the dry down reminds me of a soft men’s perfume and i can easily see this scent as a unisex fragrance. i dont get the white florals or the rose or the star apple at all. definitely not impressed with this fragrance. its not bad but i would not buy a full size nor would i wear this…
kizimaske – :
I was sorely disappointed by this scent, versace normally has incredible perfumes (inc. the diamonds collection… LUSH) but this was not very nice at all.
a1974 – :
nice scent,but doesn’t last long
angel163 – :
Had this for about 6months my sister gave it to me, she said it does not last long… well it does not maybe 3 hours max… I smell floral fruity as it expels off my skin…light airy fruity floral with a modern twist. This is an up lifitng scent.
Invoroshibrib – :
I absolutely love it, it’s floral and sweet. I am just fascinated about soft perfumes. It’s the second perfume I’ve tried and I fell in love with it immediately, and it’s not over-powering at all.(I would throw up if I ever smell something overpowering) The disadvantage is,it’s JUST floral, nothing else. I would recommend it to be worn at the day, as it’s very gentle and approching. Suitable for sweet and quite girls.
bulanovivan – :
I’ve had it for about two years. I really liked it in the beginning, I used to wear it for special occasions, especially on spring and summer nights. The other day I tried to use it but I couldn’t. I had to wash it off immediately because I didn’t feel comfortable with it. Now it smells too fruity for my taste. I don’t know what it is that bothers me, perhaps some tropical fruit with a very sharp smell. (The middle and base notes are fine, although I can hardly smell the dry-down because to my disappointment is has poor longevity.) It may have gone off or I’ve changed a lot.
Update: I didn’t give up so I kept trying it. Even if it’s supposed to be a spring/summer scent, in my experience it works best if the weather’s mild or it gets cooler towards evening!! It seems like the summer heat brings out the fruity notes more strongly, which I dislike. In early and mid-autumm it works well with my body chemistry. And suprise, suprise: lately I’ve found it longer lasting.
Oleguah – :
Discontinued in Canada; didn’t really appeal to people.
SINGULAIRBUYING – :
OMG… I just bought this parfume for…my BRTOTHER…
And this ad is telling me that this is WOMEN parfume???
What????????????????????????????????
Box, colors on the box, bottele, it’s all so masculine!?
And the smell, its spicy, strong, manly!!!!
Oh, well…wish me luck, that my brother doesn’t know about this web site
lzwuyewehfi88i – :
Versus starts out as a pleasant bright, citrus scent. After a few minutes I experience something akin to a fruity calone note, maybe its the alleged “star apple” noted in the pyramid above. Within 35 minutes Versus morphs into a dirty, white floral with a flat, moldy patchouli note and stays the same from then on.
Sillage: 3 feet
Longevity: 4 hours
Overall rating and feel: 3/10. Sadly, this doesn’t feel particularly well made, nor does it have much to positively distinguish itself from the pack of mass release fruity florals. If you’re looking for a fruity white floral with a citrus opening and a patchouli base try Cristobal by Balenciaga. Trust me, you’ll be much happier with your purchase.
alexander373 – :
i was on the hunt for a perfume for work and this was on sale… so glad i asked the woman for the tester to smell it first before i bought it. the notes on here looked lovely and i really thought i would like it but this actually made me gag, I was getting funny looks from all angles in the shop but i couldnt help it. its horrible.
butterflyyy – :
Oh man, i love this on my wife, she really smells purple now!
Great scent
10/10
gnatkoff – :
I have about 40 perfumes and none of them smell like this! This has been a recent “HG scent” for me, i absolutely love it!
ksy7772009 – :
Wow! I’m glad I double-checked this fragrance before tossing out the sample vial I have. I tested it a few weeks ago and promptly jumped in the shower after putting it on. I was getting only strong, stinging floral notes. It hurt my nose. Must have been a bad night.
I gave it one more chance, and I am surprised to say that I really like it! I’m getting the warmer base notes this time. An earlier reviewer mentioned that this fragrance reminds her of people who go to clubs. I agree, but I think of it in a positive way. I would wear this when I am feeling extraverted, especially on a summer night. I think it’s a very sexy and sweet fragrance.
It’s funny. Now that I think of it, Versus also reminds me *slightly* of a fragrance I used to wear when I went out years and years ago (Samba). Must be that fruity/floral thing.
garik846 – :
picked this one up today- 3.4oz for $30.00
very nice fragrance! I had liked this in an department store, but i am glad i waited and didn’t pay full retail.
versus is a soft sweet feminine fragrance. its fruity and citrus but not too sweet, the rose blends nicely with the fruity notes and the musk makes it soft and classic.
it is not the most original scent but it is pleasing and not obnoxious to to others, I am glad to have it as an addition to my perfume collection.The bottle is also very pretty which is always nice 🙂
Orescesyday – :
Sour lemon. I cannot smell anything after 15 minutes. Far too weak.
BOOTTANALTY – :
this i fell in love after sometime at first i thought how can this b best seller but it took time to sink in and the perfect harmony of ingredients lends this a beautiful sweet and serene fragnance i luv it absolutely and in luv good for summer and winter as well
Mishka – :
I love this…smells so fresh to me…I really would recommend this scent.SO fresh and so clean
Meenw106Unlogrere – :
Weirdly, I’ve actually seen this in several department stores in the mes cologne section. It’s refreshing with citrus and floral notes. From what I can smell, I find it to be closer to cologne for some reason than to a perfume but it does have properties of both hence the name “versus”. If you want to be adventurous, try it out.
Guf444 – :
Refreshing smell, citrusy and clean. Nice summer fragrance with amazing lasting power.
MeartOwebra – :
i really really really love this scent .
i think its the best for the girls who enjoy of fresh fruity scent.
it introduce a very rough feminity fragrance . and i enjoy of smelling that.
its good for hot summer and mild springs , and ofcourse its recommended for active and strong girls and women.
legion28 – :
i bought a 1.7 oz at tjmaxx and i had to return it and get the bigger bottle! ahh i absolutely love this scent it is so fresh and zesty and just good i dont pay attention to the lasting power of this because it is my favorite and i want a few more bottles i never fell in love with a fresh scent such as this because i usually like the sweet gourmand ones but this is top notch to me 🙂
Mypepreethy – :
I have sometimes been pleasantly surprised by the house of Versace, and am happy to be able to report that VERSUS now joins the ranks of BLONDE and WHITE JEANS among other quite decent creations in this line. I think that I was particularly surprised in the case of VERSUS because Pavlovian conditioning led me to expect the worst from the purple packaging: a purple fruit synthetic nightmare of one kind or another. Then, when I saw that this perfume was categorized as a fruity-floral, I braced myself and thought seriously about drawing a preemptive bath.
In fact, against all evidence, VERSUS is a well-constructed citrus scent with a substantial and shimmery clean musk base, imparting a resinous quality which makes it a touch more perfumey than most citrus scents (such as Moschino FUNNY!). This is also somewhat more floral, while however remaining predominantly a citrus composition. All in all, very nice, and while I don’t need a bottle, I’ll definitely consider adding it to my collection should a propitious opportunity arise…
tyz – :
It’s a good perfume I think. Versace has really created these kind of perfume that you cant really hate or find it kinda like too much.
The opening is fresh, and interesting and it also smells like passion fruit to me. A lil sweet, a lil sour, mix with some white floral notes I guess. In general, it’s like a perfume for the happy/ bubbly girl with a lot of energy.
But the dry down is not so much. LIke something is missing in between.
uhc958Diobtetty – :
I wrote this off at first because, at the time, I wasn’t much into “designer” perfumes (Gucci/Versace/Diesel/etc.) I read the notes on the little paper scent card at Macy’s and couldn’t help myself. I was surprised; it’s fruity, playful, and just…happy. So bright and summery. I don’t get the biggest hit of the citrus at first, on my skin the star apple and rose are most obvious, even on the dry down. This would be a nice beach or poolside fragrance.
Aleksey111111111111 – :
I just got this perfume. I tried it few days ago in the store on my skin…At the end of the day I still had it on me…It smelled different but I liked how it blended with my skin. I’ve read so many negative reviews…I do not understand why the did not like it. I found it interesting and dinamic. I like how it starts and at the end I like this musky – patchouli notes. It’s not a “cheap” smell at all. However, I can not say that I’m in love with it…I just liked Versace Versus and bought it for my collection and oing to wear it when I have a mood for it. 😉 Well, I guess everybody can have a different opinion.

I would like to see Versace come out with a really intriguing, classic perfume for once.

This fits the bill!
It’s all about the citrus! And thankfully it isn’t sharp, pungent, fake citrus. It is refreshing, light, and crisp. The lemon and kumquat are the main things that show up with my chemistry. Simply stunning!
The dry down is sweeter and creamier than I thought it would be with just a hint of rose balanced by the musk so it isn’t cloying.
For me, this is the per
