Versace Versense

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on bergamot, citruses and green mandarin, moves through cardamom, lily and jasmine, and settles on virginia cedar, musk and olive tree.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• citruses: a general citrus impression rather than any one fruit

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.
