as for the "aniseed" smell, this is another one of those distorted myths. Some strong MDxx pills have this distinctive smell, apparently so do PMA pills BUT this doesn't necessarily mean anything. These smells are apparently from left over, un-reacted chemicals used in the manufacture of the various substances. If a synth is done efficiently there should be no smell, as the majority of the chemicals have reacted, leaving no left-overs. This means that a properly manufactured strong pill, containing either PMA, MDMA or whatever, could have no smell at all.
And does anyone really know what this smel is anyway? People have been seeing references to this smell on Bluelight for years now, and it has been variously describe as "anisees", "liquorice" "sassphras" "sarsparilla" etc etc. Some people even claim to be able to distinguish between the different types. This all sounds like bullshit to me, and it certainly is nothing to bet your life on.
As for why are they called Versaces? Well it is the logo of Gianni Versace's fashion label, specifically his homewares range i think. The face is of a gorgon a mythological creature with snakes for hair. Medusa was the most famous one.
Want a weird concidence/meaningless fact? In July 1997, fashion designer Gianni Versace was shot dead outside his Miami home; the suspected gunman, alleged serial killer Andrew Phillip Cunanan was found dead eight days later. Cunanan was a known user of ecstasy. In an even stupider "concidence" in July 1998, a smoky fire aboard the cruise ship "Ecstasy" just two miles from the Florida shore forced its return to port. Spooky, huh?
See what happens when I'm stuck at work on the weekend? Threads go waaay off topic...
