  1. Can we start a V/S fan club and go out on the street demanding they bring it back? If we need to block streets, make signs, or give interviews to the media, I’m down for that.

  2. Absolutely exquisite and long-lasting! I wore it at 15 and couldn’t get it back once they discontinued it. Does anyone know of a similar or identical perfume?

  3. It was amazing, lasted all day. I wore it at 15 and haven’t been able to find it since they pulled it from the market. Does anyone know of something similar?

    Fruity and woody cinnamon, youthful and vibrant. It was my favorite, and I only managed to grab a couple of bottles at airports. They told me it was temporary, and it was. At least recently, Alive came out with that same joyful blend of fruit and wood, which reminds me of it.

    Smells like fruit and cinnamon with wood, super youthful and full of life. It was my favorite, only sold at some airports and they told me it was temporary, and that’s exactly what happened. At least now they’ve released Alive with that same fruity-woody joy, it reminds me of it.

  6. Fresh cookie-and-cinnamon fragrance. I miss it… a dear friend used to wear it, and I vividly remember the cinnamon note over fresh flowers and fruits, very pleasant and cozy. It lasted forever, not intense or piercing, but incredibly enveloping, like a comforting hug. It had a subtle and beautiful personality. I still haven’t encountered a cinnamon touch as special as in this Versus VS formula.

  7. EDIT: I’m not even sure if it was this one or the Viceversa by YSL that I liked… the names get confusing, and it’s been so long since I tried it that I don’t remember well.

  8. When I first knew it, I was 15; now I’m 20, and I can’t buy it anymore because they stopped making it. What a shame. I loved that mix of orange with something sweet and fresh.

    I loved it! What a shame they stopped production; they delisted it quite a while ago. Smells of orange, clove, cinnamon, and vanilla that lasted a long time on the skin. I keep a miniature like a treasure.
