Fairly good fragrance, but does not live up to its name!
Standard 35ml Al Rehab bottle; cost me less than six dollars including inland UK P&P, a real bargain, and that is all that is "fantastic" about it.
A pleasant, fresh, flowery, citrus aquatic which I rate at 50% because there's nothing special to this one: it is a happy innocuous fragrance, perhaps especially suited to the spring and summer, and I suggest for men and women. 80% alcohol.

You want roses? You got roses! And how!
Roses, roses, roses... this is the one if you're looking for a powerful ROSE fragrance!
The standard 35ml Al Rehab bottle cost me equivalent six US dollars including inland UK postage, a real bargain.
As you might expect, the reach and duration of this EDP are average at best, but the price is so low that you can keep "topping up" all evening and night. This is one for the ladies. It's 80% alcohol, btw, though from the U. A. E.

Standard lady's perfume aspiring to be an oriental fragrance with a vanilla trail-off...
Many of the good old proven essential oils are to be found here, producing a pleasant scent for the ladies, but the only mark of distinction is the slight oriental flair. Jasmine and Rose seem to be low-key, however.
I think the lily, coriander and patchouli are critical in this fragrance. I noted sillage and longevity to be a little below average. The bottle has a cap which is extremely fiddly, not a good idea.
Overall, I rate Yria a modest 50%; I would have gone to 55 if possible.

It's okay (NOT the original, dates from 1996), inexpensive, spicy, bright
I paid less than US$8 for the 100ml bottle, including inland UK postage! Incredible. I would call this a very inexpensive fragrance, not "cheap". I don't find it unusual in any way, it strikes me as a standard spicy, flowery, sweet, fruity edt with no special distinction. Clearly not unique (meaning one-of-a-kind). The cinnamon content is low -- for me, a happy thing as I am sensitive to this oil. A little of the spray went into one eye and caused a lot of irritation, not sure what the culprit was, easy to suspect cinnamon.
The vivid colour is due to several colourants which could stain clothing, please note. The bottle is expertly designed to fit the hand with great facility, well done Revlon! Longevity and sillage on the low side.
Of all the constituents of the edt, for me the orange is the standout.

I'm FOR Versus! A happy fruity floral with musky undertone, a fine fragrance for sure!
Versace is, for me, one the top fashion houses; to this day I mourn the tragic death of Gianni.
I love the way Versace designs often go over-the-top. In the case of this Versace perfume, however, there's no excess, no extreme, nothing needs reining in, nothing is overdone, for Versus is a lovely, fresh, happy scent that's ideal for daily use -- I would suggest for ladies, not men as it is a decidedly "feminine" fragrance, from its advertising and promotion to its subtle scent.
The packaging is hypnotic, the bottle is a style triumph. Kumquat and Carambola are inspired top notes; the Orange in the middle is perfectly-balanced, and in the dry-down, the Musk and Patchouli come gliding through elegantly. Versus deserves a place in your collection.
