Versace Woman is a perfume which my husband bought for me about eight months or so ago. I've bought quite a few Versace perfumes over the years and likes everyone of them because they smell lovely and most of them have good staying power. Versace woman is a fragrance which was launched in 2000, although I had never seen nor heard of this fragrance until I received it as a gift from my husband.

Fragrance

Versace Woman Eau De Toilette is described as having ~
Top Notes of Frangipani Blossoms, Leaves, Jasmine and Bergamot
The top notes are the first phase of the perfume; they are usually the most volatile and evaporate from the skin very quickly. The top notes are usually very light and refreshing and their scent usually lasts for anything between five and ninety minutes.

Middle Notes of Eglantine, Padparadscha Lotus, Plum and Raspberry
The middle notes of a scent are therapeutic and balancing oils, sometimes the middle notes are often referred to as the heart notes of a scent. The middle notes are not always evident and can take between thirty and sixty minutes to develop on your skin, and they last for anything between two to four hours

Base Notes of Blue Cedar of Lebanon, Musk, Amber and Inoke Wood
The base notes are the longest lasting notes in a fragrance, most perfumes use the same base notes. This is because they give the perfume more staying power and stop the top and middle notes from evaporating from your skin as quickly.

The Scent

As soon as you spray this perfume onto your skin you can immediately detect a gorgeous fruity/floral aroma. The aroma from the perfume isn't strong or overpowering as soon as you spray it, it is really light and airy and not what I was expecting. I was expecting this perfume to have a somewhat stronger aroma because it is an Eau De Parfum and generally these have stronger aromas because they contain more perfume oils than Eau De Toilettes.

The light airy aroma which you can smell as soon as you spray the perfume onto your skin is a lovely fresh fruity/floral aroma which has a slightly sweet undertone to it. The sweet aroma which you can smell is a very subtle hint of Jasmine, I usually dislike fragrances which contain Jasmine because the Jasmine seems to be really overpowering and cloying, but in this instance the Jasmine is really light and subtle. The Jasmine is accompanied with a fresh citrus floral aroma which is most definitely Bergamot.

The Top notes of Versace Woman seem to last for approximately an hour or so before they start
