Versace - Vanitas - Eau de Parfum



This is one of my all time favourite scents.
Its pink and white flowers, a little powdery, and something about it reminds me of the 1994 Tropical Splash Barbie perfume (which is ultimate perfume goals).
*It is not a dupe though!!!

Fragrantica lists the notes as: 

Top Note: lime (yes)
Middle Notes: freesia (yes), tiare flower (yes)
Base Notes: Virginia cedar (yes), tonka bean (yes)

Price: 1/5 (~$115 for 50mL)
Effectiveness: 5/5
Strength: Moderate
Lifetime: Long
Time: Night Time
Season: Summer

Versace - Crystal Noir - Eau de Toilette


This is quite a unisex scent!
It is very heavy in green notes, with green florals, musk, incense, sap, some spice, and lavender.

This is a Autumn night in a well-cared for garden.
This is moths dancing around a street lamp as you move from one great party (for +25 year olds) to the next.
This is that spark of electricity in the air when the weather turns.

It is a strong scent as well.

Fragrantica lists the notes as

Top Notes: ginger, cardamon, pepper. (agree with all of these)
Middle Notes: orange blossom, peony, gardenia, coconut. (agree)
Base Notes: sandalwood, amber, musk. (agree, but it has smokiness)

Price: 1/5 ($140 for 90mL, I have a tiny sample bottle!)
Scent: 5/5
Season: Autumn
Strength: Strong
Time: Nighttime

Versace - Versense - Eau de Toilette
This was a little sample bottle I had, I don't normally buy designer things, just to make that clear!

To me, it has notes of lime, green foliage, woody notes and a little bit of coconut. This is a morning, spring scent to me, with only a short lasting time and small sillage.

Fragrantica places the notes as follows:
Top notes - bergamot, fig, green mandarin, citruses, pear
Middle notes - lily, jasmine, cardamon, narcissus
Base notes - sandalwood, Virginia cedar, olive tree, musk

Price: 1/5 (rrp $110 for 50mL)
Season: Spring (this is my own opinion in this section)
Weight: Light (I mean as in the 'weight' of the scent... does that make sense?)
Overall possum liking: 4/5
