Versace Vanitas is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by Dora Baghriche. Vanitas opens with Rose and Freesia, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Tea. Versace's Vanitas carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A fresh floral that's either a clean, cheerful crowd-pleaser or screechy and forgettable depending on your skin chemistry. It's a nice easy reach, but don't expect groundbreaking complexity.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Vanitas opens with a bright, almost citrusy burst of freesia and delicate rose, conjuring images of dewy gardens. The heart introduces a creamy, apricot-tinged osmanthus and tropical tiare flower, adding a smooth warmth. It settles into a clean, subtly green base with a hint of tea and soft cedar, maintaining an airy freshness throughout.
