Versace Pour Femme Oud Oriental
by Versace
Versace Pour Femme Oud Oriental is a soft, opulent oriental fragrance that balances floral sweetness with grounded woody and leathery depth. The opening features a bright, dewy rose paired with saffron and freesia, lending a fresh and slightly powdery character. As it settles, the oud becomes more noticeable—not aggressive or overwhelming, but quietly present, blending seamlessly with leather, patchouli, and sandalwood. The result is a warm, creamy, and slightly sweet composition with notable vanilla and heliotrope accents that give it a soft, skin-like quality. The evolution is smooth and well-integrated; the rose remains delicate rather than synthetic, while the oud serves as a grounding, smoky counterpoint. The scent unfolds gently, revealing a layered, sophisticated profile that feels both elegant and quietly confident. It is particularly suited for evening wear or intimate settings, where its moderate sillage and creamy base can shine.
