Reviews →

Versace's Versus Donna is a dark red bottle of 90s vintage drama. It opens with sharp raspberry and plum syrup before settling into a powdery sandalwood and amber base. This scent works best on cold winter nights when you want a heavy, fruity floral that clings to wool coats and stays noticeable in a crowd.
