Versus

Versus opens with bright Amalfi lemon and kumquat—citrus that snaps with tartness before star apple softens it into something rounder, almost creamy. The heart shifts toward orange flower and rose, warmed by stephanotis's honeyed whisper, and the composition grows tender, less sharp. Musk and ambrette emerge gradually, their powdery-animalic warmth mingling with patchouli's earthy pull, grounding the sweetness into skin.
