Versace Versense
“Bergamot, fig, and cardamom — Versace's summery shower-fresh, unisex-leaning.”
Fig and green mandarin over a clean cedar-musk drydown — Versace's 2009 release, a fresh-green Mediterranean composition for women. A summer daytime fragrance. One of the brand's quieter feminine launches of the late 2000s.
