"Gianni Versace is the house's first perfume and an opulent floral chypre created for women. Its opening combines aldehydic brightness, spices, fruit, and bergamot for a vivid, assertive introduction. The heart is richly floral, pairing carnation, tuberose, narcissus, gardenia, orris, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley. Oakmoss, incense, myrrh, benzoin, amber, sandalwood, leather, and patchouli create a dense and ornate foundation. The overall character is classic, dramatic, mossy, spicy, and distinctly rooted in the grand style of the early 1980s. It is now chiefly regarded as a vintage and collector-oriented fragrance rather than a contemporary mainstream release."
