Versace Vanitas is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Dora Baghriche. Vanitas opens with Lime, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Tonka Bean. Versace's Vanitas carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a lovely white floral, safe and inoffensive, if a little 'generic' or 'clean shampoo'. Perfect for those who want a fresh, feminine scent that's elegant without trying too hard, though some find it sharp or 'old ladyish'.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Vanitas opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of lime, quickly mellowing into a heart of creamy, exotic tiare flower and delicate freesia. It's a clean, slightly sweet white floral journey that settles into a soft, warm base of cedar and tonka bean, delivering a sophisticated blend that's both fresh and softly inviting with a subtle hint of the tropics.
