Wrist-sniffable Oriental with a Patchouli Base
Versace WHITE JEANS is quite a pleasant surprise after having tried a couple of middling Versace fruity florals on for size. This is a very wearable, wrist-sniffable oriental with a patchouli base. I especially like how the spices all swirl together with the galbanum, the patchouli, the leather and the woods.
There are many strong notes included here, but no one of them seems overwhelming, as any of them sometimes can be. So, although I catch a whiff of cinnamon up front, it then melds in with everything else completely camouflaged. The leather, too, is dark enough to add depth without disrupting the harmony of the composition as a whole.
I should add, however, that this is not a very floral perfume, and it seems to me far more oriental than chypre. Like other fragrances of this general demeanor, WHITE JEANS has a thick, viscous, slightly heavy feeling, medium sillage and good longevity, all of which make it best for wintertime.
I wouldn't mind having a bottle of this!
