Description
Based on popularity of Bright Crystal edition, Versace and Euroitalia are launching a stronger version of the original fragrance with hope that it will thrill fans of the original edition. “After the amazing success of Bright Crystal worldwide we wanted to respond to the wish of very demanding customers and launch and intense version.“ – as stated by Giovanni Sgariboldi, president of Euroitalia.
Creative director of the Versace brand – Donatella Versace accentuates that this is a fragrance with enhanced intensity and longevity, the composition of which provides a vibrant perfume full of love.
Composition of the fragrance Versace Bright Crystal Absolu is signed by Alberto Morillas (creator of fragrances Bright Crystal edt, Versace Yellow Diamond and Versace Pour Homme), who enriched top notes with a blend of yuzu, pomegranate and accords of ice, refreshing the heart of raspberry, lotus, peony and magnolia. The base incorporates Acajou wood, amber and musk.
The flacon has maintained the same form in somewhat darker pink than the original perfume, while outer carton is embellished with white-grey ornaments. The fragrance arrives as 50 and 90ml EDP.
Photos for the advertising campaign were taken by Mario Testino, and face of the new edition, Candice Swanepoel, was presented on a luxurious sofa dressed in glittery evening gown holding a bottle of the new Versace perfume in her hand.
Bright Crystal Absolu was launched in 2013.

I love all the Versace Crystals and in my list this comes second only to Crystal Noir. I think the name is perfect for the scent, it is definitely “bright”. I always felt this smells expensive and classy. I can’t discern the individual notes much, but I agree it is a stronger version of Bright Crystal. It is a clean and fresh smelling sweet floral, very well balanced in my opinion. I can imagine it being a perfect evening scent. I bought it a couple of years ago from a pre-Xmas sale and since then I always think Xmas when I smell it. Maybe why I find it so “luxurious” smelling. Apart from that I can’t imagine it being a seasonal scent-it can easily be worn any time of the year. I agree it doesn’t have the best staying power but it is not that bad either. On my skin it lasts 3-4 hours and I would say sillage is moderate. I love the bottle, even if some people find it a bit tacky-I think it contributes to the overall “expensive smell” vibe it gives off.

Bright Crystal never lasted more than an hour or two on me. This one has all the same notes, intensified, with much stronger sillage, but sadly the longevity here is just about as poor as with the edt. I’m disappointed because this is such a beautiful, fresh, modern scent! I adore it & can’t get enough!!! I desperately wish it lasted longer. If you like fruity floral all grown up, this one’s a keeper. Not that it smells “old” it’s just not one of those syrupy sweet kind of perfumes. It’s very classy and clean, but still youthful and sparkly. A safe blind buy imo.
Scent: 9/10
Sillage 7/10
Longevity 5/10

This is one of my favorite fragrances ! I’ve owned and still own a bunch of fragrances and this will always be one of my top favorites! I can either wear it in day time or night time without hurting anyone! It’s just a very rich sexy smell I love it!!!
zla915JeomiWogkig – :
I like this. You can either look at it as basic, or as a classic. It’s sort of the first thing you think of when you think of women’s perfume. A mix of florals and such. That said, when you focus more on the various notes, the raspberry really shines in this one. The scent is very sharp in a citrusy way. It’s definitely a nighttime or clubbing scent. I would say the age range for this is 15-70, so it’s definitely a free-for-all when it comes to that.
sharppoint – :
I bought this one because I love BC but it does’nt last on me. To my nose there is a little tarteness in it that is not there in the original. I guess that’s what is making it stronger and last longer but to me it just change the whole perfume and it does’nt smell as light and fruity, wich is what I like in BC. What I do is I sprit just a tiny bit on my wrists and I put a normal sprit of the original on top of it. I found it help make it last a little longer without completely ruining it.
Deroxzldql – :
I have never tried the original version, and so I can’t compare this to that, but I like this. To me, it smells of white floral and grapefruit at first sniff. I think it then morphs to fruity smell after a few minutes, which is less pleasant to me.
FellHelpStold – :
I can’t believe that the notes in this Absolu and the original Bright Crystal are almost identical. To me, they certainly smell so different from each other. The wood note, amber and musk are very strong, combined with “sharp” lotus in this one, that makes it smell more like a “beast” to my nose. Raspberry and pomegranate did not help “brightening” up the composition either.
As light, bright, shining and fresh the original Bright Crystal is, this Bright Crystal Absolu is quite in the opposite, and not in a good way IMO.
JAZZ777 – :
Let me start off by saying this is one of my fave scents. It is very refreshing & seductive. My nose picks up citrus specifically grapefruit whiffs mesh with my body chemistry, there are some fresh florals present. I love this one better than the original version as the essential oils add longevity to this fragrance’s composition. This is a gorgeous feminine scent, also elegant this is a signature worthy scent. Would make a stunning bridal perfume. Gets lots of compliments aswell. I am happy with this revamped formula. ☆
dsd2dsd – :
It’s good to know that others have a problem with the yuzu and mahogany notes in this otherwise enjoyable scent. If I had the ability to just pull those two notes out of this, Bright Crystal Absolu would be signature scent worthy for me, but alas, those notes exist and I can’t tolerate them at all.
dubki – :
I totally agree with the reviewer below me. The first time I bought this was way back in 2014 and it smells so heavenly. The fresh and the sweetness is just so beautiful.
But the current one is like the woody notes almost bitter were like rubbing off the fresh sweetness and stands boldly at front line which makes me almost hated this scent where once I adored the most back in 2014.
cyj590speagoessenda – :
The “mahogany” note ruins Bright Crystal Absolue for me. Whatever that aromachemical is, it smells like ashen pencil shavings and really doesn’t compliment the fresh tangy fruit and flower notes in the rest of the composition. It doesn’t smell like “mahogany” either, or vetiver, cedar, or whatever people pretend it is when it shows up in various other perfumes. If you’re not sensitive to this fake woodiness, it’s a very nice perfume, albeit a little sour.
I think the original Bright Crystal is better. Even though it also lists “mahogany”, it does not contain the questionable fake woodiness that is rubbing me the wrong way. Though the original dries down even more sour than BCA, it does not have that fake wood, and stays fresher longer. If you’re trying to decide between the two, go OG BC, not Absolue.
sergiy6119 – :
Probably has something to do with my skin chemistry, but this perfume is absolutely rancid. It starts off with a cloying, bitter Yuzu note joined with a sickly sweet-smelling Raspberry note, which is then followed with the Musk note intertwined with the Lotus note. Really wish I could’ve liked this, but it’s a hard pass.
dicDiurf – :
Starts out like Bright Crystal EDT with the yuzu and ends like Jeanne by Jeanne Lanvin with the raspberry. I like both of those scents so I’m not complaining. Longevity is very good. Do you need or want both EDT and EDP? Maybe, if you like raspberry and some days want something longer lasting than an EDT. I like it so I might spring for a full bottle.
dalkplarl – :
It smells almost like original. Never liked yuzu in original. Here is the same story. Besides, these two perfumes are too popular in Moscow, especially in summer. I often feel it from different women. I hate to smell like many others. So no. And besides yuzu spoils tenderness of the fragrance. Because the peony note is really nice.
Moirtieresoto – :
I have and love the original Bright Crystal and I thought this would be the same thing…just last longer. I was wrong. This is a headier, not as bright citrus version. It does last longer though…
bekoma – :
Probably the problem is in my skin, but this perfume is disgusting. I can not even determine exactly what it smells like. There are perfumes I just don’t like, but when I spray with this one is terrible. The first time when I did, I almost gulled. I will give to someone who will enjoy it, but it is a completely lost cause for me.
opi780Unlogrere – :
Now I get it
What’s it’s supposed to do
I’m in the height of summer, now this frargrwnce does its thing.
The floral woody fresh is working, and I don’t get some mad tea note.
It must have been a newish tester, I’m not getting this odd smoke lolly note either- joy!
It’s lasting not bad either, the edt for both the yellow diamond and this are nice biput don’t hold on me so well, for their price I need the stronger versions
There’s a wet note too which is nice, I’m so glad this isn’t a sweet one
alexkh – :
I love this. It’s light and feminine and easy to wear. The HUGE crystal on top also feels very good in your hand when you take it off the bottle. Sometimes I wear it just for the pleasure of holding that magic crystal in my hand.
maf2201 – :
I have to admit I got it for the bottle. The notes seemed benign so I blind-bought it just so I could qualify for free shipping. And I’ve spent 3+ years regretting that decision. I have something very pretty sitting next to all my other perfumes on the perfume shelf but it’s taking up room from a potential unpurchased perfume that I might have liked more.
Anyway, I tried it on again just about 5 minutes ago, one spritz on hand, one spritz on wrist. You know how some perfumes have that initial blast of HOLY SHIT IT’S ALCOHOL!? This doesn’t have that. Instead there is this feeling of, like imagine it’s a very hot day but you are indoors and the extremely clean air conditioning system has been set way too low so you’re sort of freezing, or a least you have goosebumps, it’s that kind of ozonic, metallic tasting kind of smell. Or imagine cold, stale airplane air gently blowing in your face minus that baby-vomit factor (at least I associate that with airplane smell, hopefully you don’t.)
So yes, this was the note that turned me off 3 years ago when I spent a few weeks testing, re-testing and giving up on this perfume. I’m guessing the problem is the combination of musk with yuzu and lotus and the water notes. Somehow they are taking me to Airconditioning school instead of paradise.
Peony, raspberry and I always get along, and tonight I finally felt peony take charge and kid of cover up the other smell. The result was an airy, breezy, summery success. Like something you’d wear when it’s too hot and too sweaty but you just can’t not wear perfume. There was an artificial watery watermelon candy accord there for a few minutes.
But since I put on the perfume, sat down to write (and done a few other things, other websites, gotten up sat back down etc) maybe 20 minutes has gone by total, at the perfume is almost done. I’d be willing to say maybe me sniffing it every 20 seconds hurried the process up but…yeah. It’s very ephemeral. All I can smell now is a slight raspberry-lotus body-spray feeling. Like the cheap ones you buy at the drug store and wonder if they have any toxic ingredients in them…
So honestly, I’d say DO NOT blind buy unless you’re okay with just using the bottle as decoration and willing to just toss that money away.
On the other hand, if the cold airconditioning watermelon candy accord intrigues you, please please please go somewhere and smell it first. It doesn’t smell like what it looks like, which I think I can say for most of the Versace perfumes I’ve tried.
I’m going to wait until the hot days of summer and give this another try then. My nose has had problems with Angel, Hanae Mori and Anais Anais too so I’m hoping this is yet another situation of “nose chemistry” being off.
zrp040speagoessenda – :
I bought the miniature version as I just wanted to try another perfume. I liked the floral fruity smell of this but this does not even last that long. The sillage of this is quite poor too but I don’t mind re-spraying myself after a few hours. My body chemistry reacts well to this scent and it does make me feel like a classy lady. This scent is quite popular but I still love it nonetheless 🙂 Best 5ml bought so far!!
moir – :
So, I hate the bottle and the smell of the initial spray.
I like everything else. The smell when it settles into the skin is really fresh, pleasant, and long lasting. Smells great on clothes.
Scent isn’t my all time favorite or anything, but it’ll definitely get some love in the spring/summer.
The bottle is really tacky to me. Nothing like a huge, hot pink, fake crystal to make me feel like I’m 6 years old in a Rainforest Cafe giftshop, or arguing which color I want to be while playing Pretty Pretty Princess.
Grawffer – :
I’ve reviewed this before
I have not liked one test I’ve had of it yet bar today.
It’s always has some dusty berry thing going on, which smelled a bit off on my.
I tried today and didn’t get that.
Not s strong perfume by any means so don’t stress if you don’t get to it.
Today’s test was enjoyable, lightweight, easy.
KuravaPhychopay – :
About to blind buy this basing from rave reviews. Fortunately, I chanced upon a tester at a mall. This is soooo weak and smells like a dry down of a familiar scent. I say a dodged a bullet on this one.
alexey-sha – :
I think this smell between boring/bad. The notes do not blend well at all together. It’s like the sweets fruits and woods just bounce around. Weak staying power for an EAU DE PARFUM.
RinatiQ – :
floral little fruity fresh feminin probebly the best female summer frag on market it is classy in everything 10 of 10
arkura – :
Oh my goodness. I bought a rollerball of Bright Crystal, and I really loved it for any time of day and in any season, but I was bummed that it didn’t seem to last very long. When I saw they have an EDP version where the only additional note was raspberry, I just had to try it. I was able to get a 3oz bottle of Bright Crystal Absolu for a little less than $40 for my birthday and I eagerly tried it on after it arrived in the mail today.
To be honest, I can’t pick out any individual notes. It all just blends beautifully into this rich, sensual flood; and, despite being at home with the baby in an over sized t-shirt, my hair thrown up in a bun and my legs unshaven, I feel incredibly sexy. For a perfume to be able to so drastically alter my mood is fantastic. This is the perfume I’ve been looking for. This is my signature scent.
It’s warmer than Bright Crystal, more powerful, and deliciously intoxicating. My god, Absolu, where have you been all my life??
My preferences lean heavily toward fruity florals, my skin eats up the fruit and sharpens white flowers, and musk is a must. If this sounds like you, give this gorgeous perfume a try. You won’t be disappointed.
PrinceOfPersia21 – :
I’m late to the party that is this perfume!
Thank you to you know who for telling me about this perfume
I had the opportunity to smell it sample it when I went shopping in Palm Beach. I was really impressed. It’s been around but I hadn’t really given it much thought or much of a chance. This is the ‘intense’ version of Bright Crystal but it’s not overpowering nor really as intense, merely a more full bodied and longer lasting fragrance eau de parfum. For me it’s a perfect clean fresh sweet day time and spring and summer scent. More summer than spring. Fresh is the key word.
The perfume opens with a fresh aquatic scent like being out on a sailboat and getting the ocean breeze in your hair. There’s a pleasant feminine fruity shampoo or hairspray thing going on. A yuzu or tropical yellow fruit emerges quickly but it’s mainly a raspberry and pomegranate. I was surprised at how much in common the notes have with CK Euphoria – pomegranate and mahogany, musk. There’s definitely pomegranate juice and yet it’s not as dark or deep mysterious as Euphoria. This is the ‘day time’ version of Euphoria and less mature. It’s very girlie and youthful.
The magnolia is there not big but a delicious soft white floral note along with peony which is like a pink rose, very pretty and not heavily floral. I love peony scents and go after them when looking for fragrances. This is not a big flower scent. It’s mostly fruity but the few flowers in it have a fresh and very nice subtle air to them. There’s a dry down of simple almost powdery musk and a lovely warm amber.
The scent dries and turns into your skin but better. I want to get matching body lotions and wish this was actually hair spray because it smells that good. I want this all over me. The scent lasts a good amount of time and is sporty casual and sweet, with berry and flowers and a relaxed girlfriends hanging out together kind of smell.
Beautiful.
Jlen4ik_Love – :
Beautiful fresh icy opening,which is my favorite part. Juicy floral is the best way I can describe it. Very nice indeed! Summer scent for sure,but then again..who knows,might be good in cooler temps too.
Poor sillage and longevity unfortunately. Swapping…
voloday – :
My bright crystal absolu just arrived.
I must say that it’s different with all that I own so far. It is bright indeed and very feminine. But long lasting and definitely office friendly.
I don’t think the opening notes stay long on me. I smell the sumptuous pomegranate and then the scent immediately goes to its sweet floral heart. This heart notes linger for a long time. I need to smell how it ends.
So maybe I’ll wear this to sleep and will find out how it smells when I wake up.
Bright Crystal Absolu reminds me of Versace Signature pour femme. Same feminine flower notes, but where signature is like a fleeting spring bouquet, Absolu is a heady garden of flower and fruits. Very Italian somehow. I must say I admire Versace’s perfumes more and more. Despite being a floral fruity, this is quite unique. I like it for now, may turn to love later.
Webster94 – :
I received a sample of this in a swap. For the record I am not familiar with the original. The first spray didn’t have me impressed as it was rather harsh. However it quickly settles down into a somewhat softer yet potent, citrus floral. I pick up mostly the citrus notes and a pretty floral (peony?) This would make a lovely scent in the Spring or on cooler summer days. I feel it might not hold up well in the humidity and heat but will try it out again in coming months 😉
боксит – :
If you have tried Versace Bright Crystal which is the epitome of fresh, crisp, and feminine,
This is ABSOLUtely that only even more potent! You can smell the magic, the stars shining in this! My dad asked what to get me for Christmas, and I asked for this because I loved the original VBC. I am floored by the beauty and femininity of the fragrance and the potency: it is more like an elixir, of the original oils made to produce Bright Crystal in all their glory!
You will not love if you do not like grapefruit, but the florals tone down the sharpness in a way that makes this equivalent to a Sparkling Champagne of a perfume.
I love it so much I only wear it Very rarely, but those days when I reach for it I know I am feeling like a Star!
Give it to yourself as an experience in a bottle, it feels like a living dream to experience!!!!!
terik – :
This is a weird case of body chemistry. Had a sample vial of this. On my skin it was this harsh pine-sol smell. And I usually like citrusy scents, but ugh. No. Gave it to my mom for her to try out, and all of the sudden it turned into this gorgeous fresh light soapy floral! We could smell the peony especially, as well as the lotus. Still citrusy, but more complex and rich on her.
Because of this I can’t give this a poor rating. It wouldn’t be fair. I really wish I had the same chemistry with this as she does, because on her it really is to die for.
Try before you buy, if at all possible.
rspeed – :
Reminds me of vs bombshell which I love so this is great that I can purchase the Versace one instead. Yay found a new love! Nice fruity fresh scent
Unmadcamyr – :
I smelled this in Sephora and fell in love instantly. If you have ever smelled The Rose by Dolce&Gabbana, it is quite similar. I say this bc my mom sprayed that one om her and I sprayed the Versace and my dad and sister kept commenting on the fact that we were wearing the same perfume and asking why. Clearly, we weren’t. Anyways, this emits a beautiful scent. I would describe it as a light, fresh, yet romantic at the same time. Definitely perfect for Spring/Summer and even fall. Lasting power is until the next day if you spritz it in the morning.
GRIGA163 – :
I prefer this to the original Bright Crystal because it’s heavier. It’s a young, girly pink scent. I’d imagine the Legally Blonde girl wearing this, I can’t remember her name. The one played by Reece Witherspoon. It’s nice enough but nothing spectacular.
rus26192034x – :
What the what? Did the raspberry completely ruin the beauty of Bright Crystal? The Absolu version is cat pee! Anyone else get the same???
I love the reg BC but it doesn’t last long so I was so excited to get this one. But…sigh…alas, cat pee is not my signature scent goal at this time. Too bad for you Versace. I’d have paid good money for it.
I have a mostly full bottle for trade if anyone is interested.
pad834Unlogrere – :
This is a very sweet, flirty fragrance for me. Not overpowering yet very pleasant. This is something I’d use during a walk in the mall or when having lunch with my girlfriends.
IgnonseShoste – :
Let me start by saying that Dior Addict 2 is my all time number one fragrance! I mean, its amazing. What’s not so amazing is the price tag!!! So when I started to see that many reviews of this were saying this is comparable to addict 2 I decided to give it a try. I’ve had samples of the original bright crystal but never this one so I had never actually smelled this one. I loved the original so tonight when I saw that this in a gift set of the EDP 50mls, 50mls shower gel and 50mls body lotion was on sale for $46.00 I HAD to buy it. And omg I’m so glad I did. I absolutely love this. It does smell like Addict 2!!!if I was forced into saying something negative about this, it was the longevity. Whie I personally don’t mind spraying the crap out of my perfumes, I’m sure mny of those around me cnt stand it. So, if you like Addict2, guess woman, and scents like those then I suggest buying this!!!
adssl – :
Upon first spray, it smells like a clean rose… fresh, clean with green undertones and later deepens and develops into a light citrucy fruity floral. This perfume reminds me very much of GA’s Aqua Di Gioa (funny… given that they don’t share any common notes) except that ADG is much more stronger and definitely doesn’t have too much floral going on.
I personally don’t smell any raspberries or pomegranate.. not in the typical sense and… kinda disappointed abt it but overall it’s a decent fragrance great for spring and summer… but between ADG and this, I prefer ADG.
gerasochi – :
Considering i am not a fan of light perfumes and they tend not to stay on me as long as other people often say endurance wise, this was the perfect solution to the bright crystal edt, me wanting a stronger and longer lasting version knowing an edt would be almost useless for me. Then versace claims bright crystal absolu is essentially a stronger version of the bright crystal original. My husband brought it for me, and while i am normally more into musky and woody scents, this is a nice change, floral and fruity at the same time, and whats the point of liking perfume if you almost always have the same smelling ones? Nice to mix it up every now and then. The bottle, though pretty has had a lot of negative feedback based on the lid being bigger than the bottle itself making people think they’re getting less than they thought. Remember when buying a perfume with a big lid or extravagant bottle to look at the size in ml/oz before buying!
Stalker_ssss – :
Another perfume that I pass at counters and spray on. It’s one of the few fruity florals that appeals to me, but I never buy it because of the bottle. It’s outrageous and a little gaudy… but that’s Versace.
Edit: I caved and bought the rollerball during a tax free shopping trip. It seems intense and like the bottom notes are more prominent than the spray version. I then found the 1.7 for a really good price, and I figured that I might as well buy it instead of waiting. It’s grown on me.
ccq763Diobtetty – :
Fruity floral which does indeed remind me of Givenchy’s Jardin Precieux. It’s got the same subtle underlying plasticky note that puts me off.
Guide13 – :
It’s indeed very similar to the EDT but sharper and more sour. I prefer the EDT’s scent.
hardrom22 – :
I love this perfume, and most perfumes of the whole versace line. I feel like versace has what i miss in Marc Jacobs perfumes. They both have very fresh floral perfumes with a hint of fruityness, but the marc jacobs tend to have horrible lasting power (at least on me).
I used to have the versace yellow diamond as my signature scent, but got bored of it. Now i’m switching it up with this one. This one is less citrusy and zesty and got more of a fruity raspberry sweet note to it.
The lasting power is pretty great and you will definitely leave a soft trail of scent when you’re walking past people.
Assuffdrairee – :
I don’t know if it’s me or my nose to be exact this one and VS Bombshell both smell pretty similar and by that I mean I smell at initial spray a blast of alcohol that lasts quite a while and then I smell the fruity florals but not a love for me just a like. I will give both a try again maybe in the spring? Or sooner I’ll update later!
aelitalena – :
Yeah it does smell of berries and pomegrante- very sweet smelling and floral fruity. It smells girly and pink. I think it would be nice for summer. This fragrance reminds me of something else that I use to wear in 2007/2008 but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was- but yeah this scent isn’t new or original to my olfactory buds. It does have a zingy vibe to it as does versace yellow diamond and yellow diamond intense but this is more subtle. It is nice, but when I smell hard I cant detect something in this scent that I really dislike- I do not know what note it is exactly but I find it very off putting it seems to be a base note within the fragrance too- yeah I really dont like that note, it puts me off the whole scent. This one is pretty standard from versace I like vanitas, crystal noir and yellow diamond intense all better than this one, hence why I actually bought all of them- for me this just doesn’t blow me away it isn’t that the one note puts me off which admittedly it does- it is also that this isn’t well put together it is ok for what it is a fruity floral but not the best from this house. Probably my least favourite infact. Has a weird off putting note that that makes me want to wretch- wish I knew what it were. Nice scent for a teenager if the note does not affect you the way it does me- still I can’t really say this fragrance is spectacular or interesting because to me it isn’t- it is fairly generic.
kayfec – :
Got a sample of this. Smells like bright, light crystals. Sweet and light, and somehow “pink”. Great scent for a summer morning.
mirsdoprosov11 – :
beautiful,light,not offensive scent. i wear this mostly on a sunny,warm days. it stays all day on clothes,now in the evening i still can smell it. very enjoyable and summery scent. 🙂
vfrcbvktdby – :
I find Absolu almost identical to Bright Crystal. Absolu features a more heavy fruity, citrus base as opposed to the original, which relies heavily on it’s aquatic notes.
Notes that develop on me: yuzu, raspberry, pomegranate and peony.
Overall, it’s pleasant. Citrusy and fruity, PERFECT for a summer day. But can be a little less on the mature side. Unlike the original Bright Crystal, which is fruity floral, but mature, Absolu tends to be on the ultra sweet side, which may turn a few people off. But, rock whatever you want, perfume has no age limit. This is just a warning for those who don’t like “”immature”” smelling scents.
Silliage, incredible same as longevity (Versace never disappoints in that regard). So, at least grab a tester before purchasing. 7/10 for me.
KeKc24 – :
Upon reading latest comments, I am actually feeling a little bit insecure buying it. Many mentioned that this is the perfume for younger age, below 30s with most commenters. Well, I don’t think perfume has specific age group, I love sweet floral smell despite of my age is not on the “specific target age”. It is ridiculous saying that older women must smell flowery or ambery whilst younger must smell fruity only. If it’s based just as that, so younger women SHOULD NOT like Chanel no. 5? (I don’t, but I know many younger gurls love it).
So with that in mind, I braved myself testing and smelling it, fell in love with it and bought it. The first sniff of the bottle was Yuzu, but on me, I noticed Peony or Lotus.
Second sniff and so on, definately aquatic. This perfume sits on me smelling like Acqua di Gio.
Nick_648 – :
I bought this clearanced at TJ Maxx for $48 for a 3 oz bottle, a 0.3 oz rollerball, a 3.4 oz lotion, and a 3.4 oz body wash.
The scent is GORGEOUS. I’m 22 and I feel it suits my age perfectly, though I could also see someone in their teens or thirties wearing this scent as well. It’s definitely more of a spring/summer scent and absolutely a daytime scent. It’s light and lovely and totally inoffensive. It just makes me feel like a GIRL. It’s charming, it’s playful, and unforgettable. It reminds me a little of Oh Lola! by Marc Jacobs…except it makes me feel like Oh Lola! is Bright Crystal Absolu’s slightly less-attractive cousin.
The scent itself is fresh as can be. It gives you a straight-out-of-the-shower vibe. It’s also quite sweet and fruity and citrusy. It also smells faintly floral and watery. I absolutely smell the pomegranate, raspberry, yuzu (which kind of smells like a combination of orange and pumpkin to me – which is unsusual), peony, lotus, and water.
I wore this to work and received compliments. I wore this around my boyfriend and he loved it, too. It’s just stunning.
It lasts about 4 hours on my skin and is moderate strength.
старик – :
This is my go-to signature scent! It’s one of the only perfumes that I’ve been complimented on, and I’ve received multiple compliments on it. I find that when I wear this, I cannot smell it on myself, it just seems to blend in nicely on me. However, others seem to be able to smell it on me, hence the compliments I’ve received. And it lasts all day, no problem.
This is a classy scent, beautiful, floral, lightly sweet, not too heavy, and perfect for any occasion. I wear it everywhere – to work, during the day, and going out in the evening. It works for all of these.
BODIASEG – :
guys… this perfume is AMAZING !!!
i wear it all day all night,to school, on a date, party, just everywhere !!! BOYS LOVE THIS SCENT. i already used up 2 bottles of 30 ml, and now I bought a 90 ml giant bottle. My mom also loves it !! She would secretly spray it from my bottle so I bought her a 90 ml too
kievlyanenoviymagaz – :
You can indicate how lovely your perfume is to others around you by listening to the sound the way they sniff your perfume when it radiates around you.
If they sniff your perfume slow like slow inhaling which I normally can hear people around me do when I wear this perfume. That means the perfume smells lovely to them. They normally inhale slow because they wanted to enjoy the smell.
But if you hear them inhale your perfume and instantly exhale out like sneezing it out. That means your perfume annoy their noses or simply not agree with their taste.
There’s nothing to be hate about this perfume, the longevity is there, the projection there it is, crowd pleaser it sure does, it’s a love perfume for me.
it helps uplift my mood with sweet freshness the color of the flacon is just fun. Just like it’s name it does shine bright in the absolu way in hot weather. Truly a precious diamond scent in my collection !

Well, I’ve seen so many reviews for Bright Crystal, I’ve tried it in the past with not bad feedbacks, but today I gave a lot of attention to Absolu edition.
Versace is like I hear the word expensive, quality, or I have combined the house with the expression “a little bit too much”. Maybe perfumes follow style of the house too. I will be honest. Opening is very fresh and girly. Clean without trying that hard. Middle notes are even better because floral tones are so real, so soft.

And that’s it. Then something strange happens. Like mahogany blends with yuzu giving a sour and slightly unpleasant earthy/citrus feeling. Floral tones of peony fade away and more watery lotus/magnolia stay. It could be also the combination of amber and musk but I don’t think so. It’s ideal for happy and free spirited people but when the pink vibe fades away, I get a very cheap and detergent-like result of cleanliness. With a few changes would be very good but but I’ll pass over with joy…
