Versace Essence Emotional for women

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on lily and bergamot, moves through ylang-ylang and mango, and settles on vanilla, musk and cedar.

• lily: clean white flower, green and slightly peppery rather than sweet
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
