What it smells like
A sharp aldehydic fizz opens things up — soapy, almost clinical, with bergamot cutting through the brightness. The heart settles into a serious floral arrangement: rose and jasmine at the center, ylang-ylang adding a slightly heady, almost waxy depth, and iris grounding it with powdery cool. The dry-down is where it earns its warmth — sandalwood softens everything while civet adds an unmistakably animalic, skin-close intimacy. Projection is moderate; sillage lingers in an understated, elegant trail — best worn in cold months by someone who dresses deliberately.
We haven't found a match for Gianni Versace that we can stand behind. These are the closest scents by shared notes that do have one.
