Versace Versense is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. Versense opens with Citrus, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Fig, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lily, Narcissus, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Olive Tree, Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. It lasts about 4 to 6 hours on skin, carries to about arm's length and is best in spring and summer. Versace's Versense carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Bergamot, pear and fig over jasmine, lily and cardamom, with olive tree, sandalwood and cedar. A Mediterranean holiday in a bottle: crisp, clean and endlessly easy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Versense opens with an invigorating burst of zesty citrus, juicy pear and sweet fig, like a breeze through a sun-drenched orchard. The heart mellows into delicate white florals, jasmine, lily and narcissus, with a pinch of cardamom adding some intrigue. The base is earthy olive tree, creamy sandalwood and warm cedar, softly veiled by clean musk. It is fresh, green and welcoming, and strength and wear are moderate. Some find it a safe choice, but it is a safe choice that smells good on a long, hot afternoon.
