Scent Story
Vice Versa begins with a juicy combination of mandarin, raspberry and blueberry, with a touch of tomato leaf adding a surprising green twist. In the heart, creamy tuberose, jasmine and peony mingle with exotic blossoms and soft peach-melon undertones, creating an opulent floral-fruity bouquet. The base wraps up warm and comforting—cedarwood, vanilla, musk and amber provide a soft woody cushion, while iris adds a delicate powdery veil that lingers long.
Wearability & Lifestyle
This is perfect for daytime wear during warm seasons—spring and summer—when its fruit and floral brightness can shine. It works beautifully in casual and semi-dressy settings—garden gatherings, brunches, daytime social events. Pair with light fabrics, florals, pastels or airy dresses for a cheerful, confident style.
