Previously,I did my review in fragrantica.com regarding this fragrance and it was 3 months ago. I’m going to give my actual review.I’ve tried the original Versace bright crystal perfume tester for 3 times and I am very satisfied with the scent.
To me,VBC smells wonderful.i can smell the bitter-sweetness of pomengranate.i think it is fairly balanced with citrusy yuzu.i just randomly guess that yuzu is a kind of Japanese lemon..I purposely said that because of the name itself,YUZU…sounded Japanese-like name..well,I don’t know exactly which family does yuzu belongs to..but I’ve gone through Wikipedia and stated that yuzu originated from china and then was introduced in korea n japan during Tang Dynasty…
Anyway,what makes VBC more complete is the fresh and lovely smells of lotus,peony and magnolia.while on the dry down,it’s becoming warm and floral-ambery.i think amber creates the warmth of this fragrance.whereas musk making it even more softer..as for mahagony,it probably makes VBC smells classical n nostalgic.what about iced accord?i think the ice creates the cooling n soothing effects in bright crystal.
Everytime I spritz it on my skin (wrist area),I can’t help myself from constantly smelling my wrist.it smells good on me and I think it blends well with my skin chemistry.to me,VBC is the softer n lighter version of Gucci Envy Me and Dior Addict 2 like most of the viewers commented..well,i think it’s just a coincidence.to define VBC,I define it as :
• Feminine n sophisticated,
• classical n nostalgic,
• addictive,sexy n mysterious
• not too sweet n not overpowering,
• Soft,cooling and a soothing fragrance.
As for the design of the bottle,it’s attractive n stylish.the transparency of the bottle embodies/pictures the wearer as an honest person..the bold and well-crafted crystal-like cap on top,shows the person with dignity,determined and strong-willed.the bottle is also pink in colour..according to my colour code personality book,pink has these kind of characters such as :
• loving,
• caring,
• passionate,
• ladylike n sometimes childish-like,
• fun to be with,
• sensitive,
• protective,
• conservative,
• and loyal.
For those ladies out there who have or have had this perfume,you may have/had these traits of personalities.
Credit to Versace,because you know women well by relating women with THE COLOUR OF PINK & THE SHINY BRIGHT CRYSTAL.that’s brilliant indeed.
