Versus Time For Pleasure

Versus Time For Pleasure by Versace is a feminine fragrance from 2003 that is essentially a fruit salad in a bottle, and that is meant as the highest compliment. This discontinued gem from the Versus Time collection takes ripe berries and stone fruits and blends them into a sweet, juicy, completely joyful scent that makes you smile every time you catch a whiff.

The opening is an explosion of mixed berries with blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, and strawberry all tumbling out at once. It is like opening a container of fresh mixed berries at the peak of summer ripeness.

Each berry contributes something different, the tartness of raspberry, the sweetness of strawberry, the depth of blackberry, and the juicy brightness of blueberry. Together they create a fruity cocktail that is vibrant and irresistibly cheerful.

The heart softens the berry burst with peach and apricot, adding a velvety stone fruit quality that makes the fragrance feel rounder and more feminine. The peach brings a soft, fuzzy sweetness, while the apricot adds a slightly tangy, golden fruitiness.

These two notes act as a bridge between the bright berry opening and the warm base, smoothing out the transitions beautifully. The base keeps things simple and effective with vanilla and musk providing a gentle, powdery cushion for all those gorgeous fruits to rest upon.

The vanilla adds just enough sweetness to extend the fruity theme without becoming cloying, and the musk gives the fragrance a clean, skin-like finish that makes it feel natural and wearable. Time For Pleasure is the perfect casual fragrance for spring and summer days.

It is youthful, fun, and completely uncomplicated in the best way. If you love fruity fragrances that smell like nature rather than candy, and you can find this discontinued beauty, grab it without hesitation.
