It features top notes of kumquat and lemon, a heart of orange flower and a patchouli, musk base. The fragrance comes in a crystal purple bottle with the Versus name in gold lettering. The fragrance, which began rolling out in March, will be supported by a print ad campaign featuring model Lara Stone.
