The Fashion Landscape
Versace and Fragrance

In 1984 the house launched two fragrances, Gianni Versace for women and Versace L'Homme for men. They followed Gianni Versace's first collections of 1978 and extended his name beyond clothing.

The Wider Culture
The Miniature

Fragrance miniatures were produced as samples and gifts. Today they preserve the bottles and scents of their period at a small scale.

Reading the Object
Notes of the Scent

The notes move from basil, bergamot and lemon at the top, through carnation, patchouli and cinnamon, to a base of leather, oakmoss and vanilla. With age, the scent and colour may have changed.

From citrus and herbs to leather and oakmoss.
