This perfume is from 1995 and it’s part of a Versace perfume line that was launched between 1994 and 2000, comprising of perfumes with the word jeans with different colors. The bottle reminds of a coke bottle with the old design. The Versace Jeans perfume line is probably the youngest ever launched of the perfume house, although, of the original line this Blue Jeans is probably the only one still in production.
The opening is soft and citrus, partly mandarin with neroli (bergamot), partly lavender with jasmine and violet. In the middle phase, the citrus become warmer with a soft vanilla note with a touch of wood. This effect becomes more and more intense as time passes. Towards the end of the middle notes there are also some soft green notes of ginger and sandalwood, which mix very well with lavender. At the same time the wood and violet notes become more intense. Sandalwood actually reminds of Jazz perfume by YSL. In the base notes the perfume has a light and fresh structure, where wood notes with a trace of ginger stand out.
Although this fragrance was created for teenagers (an example of more “adult” Versace perfume would be Versus), it’s still different from the usual bergamot-based fragrance that the market has to offer, offering wood and neutral soapy notes, which smell adult.
In general, this is a light fragrance. Together with another Versace perfume for men, The Dreamer it’s definitely more suitable for the summer, even in very hot days. In an office environment, it can be used daily without any problem, although it’s more personal than social and will not stand out among other more aggressive perfumes. On the romantic side it lacks of particularly seductive and sensual notes, and it should be considered a fragrance to be worn without any specific social purpose. The ideal age rage starts from 15 years, and with the right personality, it can go up to 60 years. It’s a unisex fragrance, suitable for both men and women.
