Versace Eau de Parfum is Versace doing elegant feminine classic. This is mixing No 5’s powder, Joy’s rose, and Dioressence’s lily of the valley for the woman with the excellent plastic surgery and a principal residence in Beverly Hills.
Like the brand, the perfume should be taken with a pinch of irony. (The press material lists “Jasmine/Angel wing” as an ingredient. Why the hell are they killing angels and distilling their wings to make perfume? Doesn’t the EPA regulate this? Isn’t there some kind of celestial wildlife law?) But for those who love Versace — and the house has made an indelible mark on fashion — this is an extraordinarily faithful distillation of its essence. By that measure, Versace Eau de Parfum is a masterpiece. |
