A Fresh Take on Versatile's Latest Perfumes
I’ve always admired brands that are born from passion—and Versatile Paris is exactly that. Launched in October 2021 by Coralie Frébourg, a bold young graduate who chose creativity over corporate routine, this brand speaks to me on every level. During a time of uncertainty, Coralie dared to launch her vision, and with a mission too—Versatile donates 3% of sales to breast cancer research in honor of her father, a cancer research professor. That alone would make me look twice—but what really won me over? The scents. They’re cheeky, charming, and deliciously addictive.
Versatile Presser Le Citron – A Sparkling Marshmallow Citrus
On my skin, Presser Le Citron feels like sunlight filtered through lemon trees—zesty, vibrant, and unexpectedly cozy. The opening hits with pink pepper, bergamot, and lemon that practically fizzes like a limoncello spritz. Then, a gourmand shift takes over: creamy marshmallow, powdery violet, and warm caramel notes swirl into a playful blend. It’s a citrus dessert with a soft vanilla touch—fresh but never sharp. Perfect for spring walks and warm summer nights. I reapplied it from the roll-on like a secret treat. It smells like happiness—marshmallow-topped lemon tart on warm skin. Bright, breezy, and wonderfully moreish.
Cerise Sur Le Gâteau makes me feel like I’m biting into a cherry liqueur cake in a dimly lit pâtisserie. First, there’s that irresistible almond-cherry burst—like marzipan soaked in fruit syrup. Then, the fragrance melts into chocolate, cake, and whipped cream—yes, it’s a full dessert course on my skin. But just when it risks becoming too sweet, leather and a whisper of Baileys step in, grounding the scent with a sensual edge. It’s rich and slightly naughty—like black leather gloves dipped in cherry liqueur. I wear it on cool nights when I want to feel confident, bold, and a bit indulgent.
Bonne Poire surprised me most. It starts off with this glorious, sun-ripened pear—crisp, juicy, and mouthwatering. As it settles, a velvety vanilla comes forward, softening the fruit into a creamy delight. And the dry-down? A golden blend of Calvados and amber that feels like a warm hug at the end of a crisp autumn day. It’s fresh but cozy, perfect for when I want something inviting but not too sugary. To me, it smells like biting into a pear tart in a countryside orchard—playful, elegant, and full of charm. This is my go-to scent for first impressions and lingering memories.
Trying these three was like stepping into Versatile’s dream world—where fragrances don’t take themselves too seriously but still leave a lasting impression. What I love most is how each scent tells a story: from lemon-sugar brightness to cherry-leather drama to pear-vanilla warmth. They're unisex, easy to wear, and fun to layer. But beyond that, they’re personal. Coralie’s mission adds heart to the brand, making me feel like I’m part of something bigger every time I roll one on.
