the Code: Good Scents

SILK-SHIRT

SWAGGER, BOTTLED

The new ATELIER VERSACE lineup
of fragrances can transform more than your scent

Deep down, I think
every guy wants to
be the type who can pull
off a Versace silk shirt—
or at least possess that
kind of swagger. But
maybe you haven’t fully
tapped into the swagger
center of your brain yet.
(It’s near the amygdala.)
Enter Atelier Versace, a
new luxury fragrance col-
lection that channels all
that cool confidence into
something every guy can
easily wear. “That’s why
we are launching these
unisex fragrances...so
you’ll find the one that
is made just for you,”
says Donatella Versace.
There are six scents in
the collection, and each
one is transformative.
With a spray of Figue
Blanche, a sunny, sultry
blend of Mediterranean
citrus, you’re in never-
ending vacation mode.
Vanille Rouge, on the
other hand, turns you
into an undercover
romantic hero with
a subtle mix of rose and
musk. And Santal Boisé,
with its combo of san-
dalwood and saffron,
makes you feel like some
sort of mystic philoso-
pher. The thing is, these
fragrances enhance
what’s already there.
After all, a shirt or a
scent won’t give you
“I wanted to create something unique,
a collection of fragrances that the swagger. But it may
felt like they are made-to-measure.” just help you find it.
