Versace Vanitas Eau de Parfum

Versace Vanitas Eau de Parfum is a luminous, white floral fragrance for women, launched in 2011. It pairs a bright citrus opening with a soft, woody-sweet base, and has since become a discontinued fragrance that's increasingly hard to find.

What does Vanitas smell like?

The fragrance opens with a sharp, zesty lime note that quickly gives way to a soft floral heart of tiare flower and freesia. This white floral accord gives Vanitas a clean, sunny character. It finishes on a gentle base of Virginia cedar and tonka bean, adding a subtle woody sweetness that keeps the fragrance from feeling too light.

• Top notes: Lime
• Heart notes: Tiare flower, freesia

Performance and when to wear it

Vanitas is typically moderate on skin, in keeping with its light, white floral character. It's best suited to spring and summer wear, or anywhere you want a clean, understated floral rather than something heavy.

Who is it for?

This fragrance suits women who enjoy light, citrus-tinged white florals. As it's discontinued and increasingly rare, it will mainly appeal to collectors or existing fans searching for remaining stock.
