Yellow Jeans by Versace

A gift for my 15th birthday; a unique, sweet and velvety scent that lasts forever and leaves a trail. I miss it so much! 😔

It was my grandmother’s perfume back in the 2000s; she was around 40 and I was nine, and I loved smelling it from the bottle. Sometimes I’d sneak a puff behind her back, but I’d get caught because the trail is brutal. I never found anything similar until, in Chiclayo, Peru, at a lemonade stall, I picked up a piece of fruit and smelled it—it was identical to the perfume. That fruit is super aromatic, I love it, and it reminds me so much of that scent! 🤩

Yellow Jeans is undoubtedly one of my favourites. It’s very discontinued in Mexico, but I managed to find a counterfeit on Mercado Libre and I was able to smell it on my skin again. I absolutely love it!

Yellow Jeans. I used to love it, wearing it in the 90s. I remember a youthful and very cheerful scent; now it’s discontinued and I’ve never found it again.

It was wonderful. What a pity they no longer make it. It smelled like a spring afternoon drinking tea in the garden, lying down under the peach tree pergola. I miss it.

I absolutely adore Yellow Jeans; when I was younger, I used to wear it a lot alongside its sister, Blue Jeans (I couldn’t possibly wear it now). I keep a bottle from the nineties that a friend gave me, and although my tastes have changed, there are still spring days when I really fancy wearing it. If yellow could be a scent, it would be this: an explosion of crunchy, sparkling, and very solar notes. Although the gender doesn’t quite match the image I have when wearing it, it’s like chamomile tea rewarmed by the sun with flashes of anise freshness; it reminds me of mimosa flowers on a hot day and certain royal honeys and jellies, with that spicy sweetness of pure nectars. Whenever I wear it, I think of Ganymede, the cupbearer of the gods who served ambrosia… Yellow Jeans has an invasive, rough opening without losing its light, exactly what it evokes. It has a synthetic aftertaste, but I believe it’s part of its charm. It’s discontinued, just like Green and Baby, which had so much personality. I adore the Versace Jeans line; they were flamboyant perfumes for teenagers, far from the mediocre ‘eau de tout’ from brands like Calvin Klein or Tommy. Those waters are middle-of-the-road, but the Jeans line came from Versace, so there was no intention of creating introductory formulas; they were opulent, powerful perfumes. Blue and Red are easy to find, but I miss the others dearly.

I came across this scent through an aunt who wore it; it was very rich, but since she lingered on clothes, it suffocated the room, haha, but the scent itself was very rich… I think it’s discontinued because I can’t even find it listed on Mercado Libre anymore 🙁
