Serene greeness
While reviewing Versense, I am currently sitting in a rather stuffy, hot room with a fan while the temperature outside is 37 degrees celsius (98.6 degrees fahrenheit). In such dry, hot conditions, Versense works extremely well. It's refreshing and clean without being too generic or bland.

This is one Summer scent that transcends beyond the typical lemon candy and cheap shampoo type scents. Versense equals class and distinction in my opinion.

Versense opens with mandarin orange and bergamot, which come forth in a subtle fashion, while the fig creates a green and somewhat sweet blend. From the first application, it is obvious that this fragrance has been well-crafted.

Unique was the first word that sprung to mind when the heart began to develop on my skin. The lily and jasmine were like a freshly picked, Spring bouquet, sprinkled with a fine mist of water, while the cardamom created a spicy and earthy finish.

The drydown, while primarily musk, has a beautiful, salty olive tree note, which does indeed make me long for Italy and Greece. Versense is like the Mediterranean; serene, picturesque and soothing.

While most Summer fragrances, mostly citrus-based scents, don't work with my skin chemistry, Versense did. The lasting strength was fantastic, lasting almost a whole day through such high temperatures.

I'd recommend Versense to those that love green florals like Envy by Gucci and Chanel No.19. The musky drydown may be a bother to some, so it's best to test this fragrance a few times before deciding to buy.

A Mediterranean Version of Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche
"Versace Versense" is the perfect choice for spring/summer days in which you want a fresh scent that has an opulent and elegant vibe. It's uplifting, refreshing and very pretty.

On me it's a yummy bergamot followed by mandarins and citruses trailing an olive branch, then to my surprise, a juicy rich fig note appears and in the dry down cedar and a dash of sandalwood ground it without making it powdery. It's a very well balanced scent and the citruses never dominate too much, all the notes in Versace Versense are very well blended and permeate class. It reminds me of Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche but in a Mediterranean style.

The potion doesn't only look green it *feels* green (a fresh and elegant green).
I own the body-lotion too and especially on warm or hectic days in the office it's my Oasis of calm and classy cool.

A must sniff for people who'd like an elegant and fresh office/date scent for warm days, and people who like Chanels Chance Eau Fraiche but would like a Mediterranean twist to it. Try it layered with the pampering body lotion and smell absolutely cooly divine!

Silage is: a Mediterranean Chanel Chance Fraiche?...YUM! - Longevity is: 5+ hours. (if I layer it with the body lotion its easily 8+ hours). Good luck! : )

Italian elegance in cool shades of citrus and woods
Versence is an elegant and well-balanced woody citrus scent. It smells cool and refreshing but I would never link it to the modern shampoo-like scents that are often used to convey the clean feeling. Versence is indeed a clean, polite and revitalizing scent but it has elegance and quality of a well-made perfume. I love how the citruses are portrayed layered on the woods and cool floral notes in this perfume. Versence makes me feel sophisticated without overpowering me. I would not hesitate to bring this scent along to an exciting summer trip to Italy. It has chic and class to go with a sundress and high heels for a stroll down the sunlit streets of Rome.

The opening is a blend of cool and green citruses and bergamot. There is a fig in the composition but I definitely do not smell the ripen fig – perhaps a bit of fig leaves. While the citruses remain the main theme of this perfume even in the heart notes, I love the cool and refreshing wave of lilies with a lovely mixture of cedar and other woods. On my skin the musky notes are also quite noticeable and let me say that they work nicely with the elegance of cedar, olive and sandalwoods. The longevity is good too.

I love this stylish scent and recommend it for those who are looking for a refreshing, citrus woody floral scent for a hot summer.

Lemon Sprite!
Opens up a lot like a bottle of 7UP or Sprite would. It's fresh, citrusy, bright, fizzy and bubbly all at the same time! Definitely get a fizzy, icy lemon/lime vibe out of this, with a soft floral dry-down with hints of musk. Great for women but also works amazingly well on a man. Totally fresh, totally summery, totally unisex. More like a citrus, Italian-style, Mediterranean version of CK One.

Cooling fragrance
Fantastic! This fragrance sends chills through my body, and it's so hot outside and cloudless today. It's like an icy blast of fresh citrus, greens and florals. What I like most about this being green is that it is not a harsh bitter green, but a soft, light, gentle scent. I am reminded of a grove of citrus trees being tossed about by a gentle summer breeze. Jasmine is growing on a fence nearby. Lovely, lovely scent. Soft, not loud or overly sweet like so many today. However, it does last and has great sillage.

A citrus fresh gem. It reminds me of Julie Andrews twirling in an open field of mountains.
