Versace V/S Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Mark Buxton. V/S Homme opens with Orange, Mandarin, Lime, and Violet, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Versace's V/S Homme carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is divisive: some find V/S Homme a classy, unique green and spicy blend, others a musty, old-school relic. Definitely not for blind buying, but a pleasant surprise for those who appreciate its mature charm.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, coupled with a clean, green, and slightly old-school vibe, make it suitable for office wear. While some find it too mature for dates, its versatility allows for casual and even some formal settings, though it's too composed for sport.

About

V/S Homme opens with a fresh, slightly sweet burst of citrus from orange and lime, quickly interwoven with aromatic lavender and a distinctive kick of cardamom and coriander. As it settles, a clean, almost watery floral heart emerges with cyclamen and a touch of rose, underpinned by a herbaceous sage and nutmeg. The drydown reveals a sophisticated base of cashmere wood, cedar, and vetiver, rounded out by a smooth musk, amber, and a hint of tonka bean, leaving a fresh, woody, and subtly spicy trail.
