Versace Bright Crystal Eau de Toilette review

          I have a history with Versace Bright Crystal. During my first foray into the world of fragrance, a Sephora sales associate that specialized in fragrance (she was amazing) helped me narrow down my potential fragrances picks to two: Versace Bright Crystal and a Dior. The Dior ultimately ended up 'winning', however Bright Crystal still holds a special place in my memories. Years later, I managed to acquire a deluxe sized sample, which you see here. I've always thought the packaging was beautiful. The squat rectangular base with oversized crystalline topper nicely reflects the sparkling pink scent inside.

         The listed notes in Versace Bright Crystal include: iced accord, yuzu, pomegranate, peony, magnolia, lotus flower, acajou, vegetal amber, musk. The fruity floral scent is bright, feminine, and delicate. The scent doesn't possess overly sparkling top notes or deep bottom notes. Most of the notes in Versace Bright Crystal mix naturally in the mid range. Pomegranate and yuzu add a mellow fruit tone with some tang and there is a hint of champagne like sparkle that extends from it. There are beautiful contributions from the Peony and Magnolia. The flowers typically have a big presence, however they're toned down in this fragrance to add just the right amount of floral richness. Finally, a warm amber and clean musk lightly round out the scent. As with many delicate scents, Versace Bright Crystal fades too quickly. After a couple hours, very little scent remains.

        Overall, Versace Bright Crystal is a sheer, lighthearted, and feminine scent with beautiful packaging. The particular fruits and florals chosen for this fruity floral add a nice character to a pink scent in a sea of pink scents. The delicate character makes Versace Bright Crystal appropriate for work and those who prefer lighter scents, however the lasting power leaves something to be desired. Thanks for reading! Have you tried Versace Bright Crystal? What are your favorite pink scents? What are some of the prettiest fragrance bottles you've seen to date?

Love, Dovey.

P.S. As you may have read earlier, I imposed a fragrance ban (read about that here) on myself until I review my entire deluxe mini fragrance collection. I'm pretty desperate to get my hands on a new bottle, so I'm going to be working through these reviews as fast as possible!
