Donatella Versace’s Ultimate Fragrance Discovery Kit Arrives In Canada

Donatella Versace’s ultimate Fragrance Discovery Kit arrives in Canada

Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace has quietly launched one of the most luxurious ultra-premium fragrance collections. It’s called Atelier Versace and it incorporates the finest quality ingredients available – very rare notes that offer a couture-like olfactory experience. She’s handpicked her favourite master perfumers to compose a handful of truly beautiful fragrances that complement her custom fashion creations.

What’s interesting about this collection is Donatella understands the artistry of hand tailoring and finishing. Just look at the gowns worn by Beyonce, Madonna and Dua Lipa on stage and on the red carpet. Many of these outfits required weeks and weeks of hand sewing using the finest crystals, 24 karat gold-wrapped thread and precious fabrics from Italian looms. She clearly understands how to create the ultimate outfit.

That expertise and experience extends into fragrance using the same approach.
