Yellow Jeans by Versace

A gift for my 15th birthday, a unique scent that’s sweet and velvety, lasts forever, and leaves a trail. I miss it so much! 😔

This was my grandma’s perfume back in the 2000s. She was around 40 and I was 9; I loved smelling it on the bottle. Sometimes I’d sneak a puff, but I’d get caught because the trail is brutal. I never found anything like it until I was in Chiclayo, Peru, at a lemonade stand. I grabbed the fruit, smelled it, and it was identical to the perfume! That fruit is super aromatic, I love it, and it reminds me so much of that scent! 🤩

Yellow Jeans is definitely one of my favorites. It’s very discontinued in Mexico, but I found a counterfeit on Mercado Libre and got the scent back on my skin. I love it!

Yellow Jeans. I loved it, wore it in the 90s. I remember a youthful, very cheerful aroma. It’s discontinued and I’ve never found it again.

It was amazing, what a pity they don’t make it anymore. It smelled like a spring afternoon drinking tea in the garden, lying down under a peach tree pergola. I miss it.

I love Yellow Jeans; when I was young, I wore it a lot along with its sister, Blue Jeans (I couldn’t even wear that one now). I keep a bottle from the 90s a friend gave me, and even though my tastes have changed, there are always some spring days when I really feel like wearing it. If Yellow could be a scent, it would be this: an explosion of crisp, sparkling, and very solar notes. Looking at the gender, none match the image I have of wearing it: a chamomile infusion reheated by the sun with flashes of anise freshness; it also reminds me of the smell of mimosa flowers when it’s very hot, certain honeys and real jams, with that slightly spicy sweetness of very pure nectars. Every time I wear it, I think of Ganymede, the royal cupbearer in Greek mythology tasked with feeding the gods ambrosia… Yellow Jeans has an invasive and rough dry-down without losing its light, and that’s exactly what it evokes: luminosity. It has a synthetic aftertaste, but I think that’s part of its charm. It’s discontinued, like the Green and Baby versions, which also had a lot of personality. I adore the Jeans line by Versace, flamboyant perfumes for teenagers, far from the juvenile waters of Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Tommy, or Paco Rabanne. In reality, both Klein’s and Tommy’s juvenile waters are far from being mediocre (I think Tommy Girl and Tommy for Him are especially underrated), however, in the Jeans line, as Rome dictates coming from Versace, there was no intention of just making introductory formulas. They were opulent perfumes. Blue and Red are easy to find, but I miss the others a lot.

I got to know this scent through an aunt who wore it; it was very rich, but since she lingered on clothes, it overwhelmed the room, haha, but the smell itself was very rich… I think it’s discontinued because I can’t even find it listed on Mercado Libre anymore 🙁

It was my first perfume, a gift from my mom when I was 13. I tried it in a store and was blown away. I think that’s where my addiction started because I felt like a princess when it arrived for Christmas. Many of the notes that guide my choices today come from there. It’s youthful, like the whole Versace Jeans line, but it doesn’t go out of style between 30 and 40. It’s a shame it’s no longer available in Chile or at duty-free stores. I still keep the bottle to rediscover it from time to time.
