Versace
Pour Homme EDT
“Italian citrus with mineral bones — smells like money it doesn't cost.”
Released 2008 as Alberto Morillas's take on a classic Mediterranean fougère, Versace Pour Homme pairs bright lemon-neroli top notes with a clean cedar-musk base. Widely considered one of the best summer value buys in designer fragrance.
