About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Vice Versa, launched in 1999, is a rare floral-fruity from Yves Saint Laurent. The opening is unusual: tomato and mandarin orange meet raspberry and blueberry, creating a tart, green-fruity tension. The heart is lush and complex—tuberose, African orange flower, bellflower, jasmine, freesia, peony, peach, and melon—a white floral cascade with fruity sweetness. The base of musk, iris, amber, vanille, and Virginia cedar adds warmth and depth. Collectors who love bold, fruit-forward florals with a green edge will appreciate this. It suits those who enjoy Y2K-era compositions and want a distinctive, discontinued scent. Best for spring and summer, though its sweetness carries into evening.
