Can we start a V/S fan club and go out into the streets demanding they bring it back? If we need to block roads, make banners, or give the media a runaround, I’m down for that.
Absolutely exquisite and long-lasting! I wore it at 15 and couldn’t get my hands on it again once they discontinued it. Does anyone know of a similar or identical fragrance?
It was a real treat, lasting all day. I used it at 15 and haven’t been able to find anything like it since they took it off the market. Does anyone know of a similar scent?
Fruity and woody cinnamon, youthful and vibrant. It was my favourite and I only managed to grab a couple of bottles at airports. They told me it was temporary, and that’s exactly what happened. At least recently Alive has come out with that same joy of fruit and wood, which reminds me of it.
A fruity and cinnamon aroma with woody notes, super youthful and full of life. It was my favourite; they only sold it in certain airports and told me it was temporary, which it turned out to be. At least now they’ve released Alive with that same fruity and woody joy, reminding me of it.
A fresh cookie-and-cinnamon scent. I miss it… a very dear friend used to wear it and I remember the cinnamon note over fresh flowers and fruit very vividly. It was very pleasant and cosy. It lasted a long time without being overpowering or intrusive, yet incredibly enveloping, like a comforting hug. It had a subtle and beautiful personality. I still haven’t come across a touch of cinnamon as special as in this Versus VS formula.
EDITED: I’m not sure if this was the one I liked or the Viceversa by YSL… the names confuse me and it’s been so long since I tried it that I don’t quite remember.
Back when I knew it, I was 15; now I’m 20 and I can’t buy it anymore because they don’t make it. What a shame. I adored that mix of orange with something sweet and fresh.
I really liked this perfume, what a pity they’re not making it anymore.
I absolutely loved it! What a shame they’ve stopped production; they delisted it quite a while ago. Smelled of orange, clove, cinnamon and vanilla and lasted a long time on the skin. I keep a miniature like a treasure.
