Versace pour Homme, contemporary above all The Versace house is the story of a destiny like no other. Gianni Versace was born in 1946 in a small town at the tip of Italy. Passionate about fashion, Versace worked for major Italian brands.
The Versace house embodies luxury and extravagance, a mix of genres and provocation, all while presenting surprising and daring haute couture collections. Naturally, when the label began offering us fragrances, the same held true. However, following the designer's tragic death, Donatella Versace moved toward more restraint, and she even celebrated her late brother's roots by offering, ten years after his death, a fresh and thoroughly Italian scented elixir, Versace pour Homme.
Versace pour Homme, or Alberto Morillas's scented tribute to Gianni Versace's roots
For Versace and its emblematic designer Gianni Versace, every blend of materials and colors could become a work of art, every provocation and daring choice the most beautiful, and it was through this inimitable style that the designer quickly entered, in the 1970s, the ranks of the great couturiers of this world. A few years later, with the Gianni Versace fragrance in 1981, he opened the doors to a perfumery that would prove just as daring as his couture creations, and every new fragrance, even after his tragic death in 1997, would always be created with flair and originality.
Yet when Donatella Versace asked the great Alberto Morillas to compose Versace pour Homme for her, the idea was not to astonish or provoke, quite the contrary, and this is certainly the greatest surprise of all. Versace pour Homme is a beautiful and luminous fragrance for men that exudes both power and refined elegance, but also and above all a fresh and natural restraint, far removed from Versace's usual fragrances.
Versace pour Homme is therefore not, strictly speaking, a grandiose creation of the Versace house, but rather a scented composition paying tribute from a sister to a designer brother who loved above all his native country, Italy, and its typical scents of citrus, flowers and aromatic herbs.
A dreamed-of Italy between scents of the past and present-day modernity for a luminous Versace pour Homme
The fragrance, a classic aroma that is surprisingly contemporary, awakens the senses. Versace on Versace pour Homme.
Alberto Morillas thus crafted with Donatella Versace a magnificent composition paying tribute both to the scents of her childhood with her brother Gianni Versace and to the beautiful modernity he always displayed in all his haute couture creations.
Thus Versace pour Homme opens first on the citrus fruits and flowers that so fascinated Donatella but above all Gianni Versace, such as citron blossom, bitter orange blossom or neroli blossom. Then the mineral and floral accord of blue hyacinth and clary sage becomes at once luminous and raw, soft yet powerful. Finally we find the exemplary modernity of the Versace house in virile and deep notes of oud wood, tonka bean, musk and amber.
Versace pour Homme expresses the character of today's man: cultured and self-assured, he has the ability to live his life in harmony with the natural world. Versace on Versace pour Homme.
