Anyway, from what I gather – and let me preface this by saying I’m no fragrance expert, I just, like, *smell* things and form opinions – this stuff came out way back in ’99. Nineteen ninety-nine! Think about that for a sec. The Y2K scare was a real thing, and Versace was out here launching a “refreshing, oriental, woody fragrance.” Talk about a time capsule, right?
The description says it’s “masculine.” Okay, sure. What even *is* a masculine scent anyway? Is it just, like, smells that dudes like? Because frankly, I know plenty of dudes who rock floral scents and smell amazing. Marketing, man, it’s wild.
So, “fresh, green fragrance, a touch of the exotic, with low…” Low what? The description cuts off! Like, Versace, you gonna leave us hanging like that? Low projection? Low sillage? Low self-esteem if you don’t wear it? Seriously, the suspense is killing me!
I’ve been digging around on eBay, and yeah, you can find this stuff. But finding consistent info? Forget about it. One listing says this, another listing says that. It’s a real mess.
Personally, I’m kinda intrigued. “Exotic” and “woody” sounds like a good combo. But the whole “fresh and green” thrown in there too? It’s either going to be amazing, or it’s going to smell like a dude trying way too hard to be interesting. Ya know what I mean? Like, that guy at the party who’s wearing a fedora and telling you about his cryptocurrency investments.
I haven’t actually *smelled* it, so I can’t give you a real review. But from what I’ve read, and the general vibe I’m getting… I dunno. Maybe it’s a hidden gem. Maybe it’s a product of its time that should stay in the past. Maybe it’s just…fine.
Honestly, the biggest takeaway for me is that Versace needs to get their act together and write better product descriptions. And maybe someone should find the rest of that original description. The “low…” is driving me nuts!
