I saw VS Blue Jeans at a discount store in the exact same packaging as Versace Blue Jeans. What's the deal? Did Versace sell off the BJ line to someone else, or is Versus simply a differnet Versace line that inherited the frag?

I bought a bottle of Versus Blue Jeans as well, and I did some research before buying it to make sure it's not a knock off.

I got mine at CheapSmells.com which is a reputable seller:

Yeah, I think it's just a relabeling. Versace Blue Jeans was an older fragrance in a dated container, and one of the only jeans still in production. It still sells well, but Versace probably didn't want to dilute their brand name as a luxury brand by selling a 15 dollar fragrance. Thus, Versus.

I did a little more research and apparently, Versace does not drop prices if they can help it, so in order to provide lower priced items in this market especially, they are releasing several items under the Versus name.

Totally unrelated, i picked up a $1500 Versace suit yesterday for a mere $160 at Nordstrom Rack in downtown Chicago!! I couldn't believe it.
