Bright Crystal
Ninety millilitres of a concentrated fragrance is a commitment, and Versace Bright Crystal Parfum 90ml is for somebody who has already made up their mind about this scent.
It is built on seven materials. Yuzu gives the opening a tart, flowery citrus bite, pomegranate a red fruit juiciness beside it, and the pair of them set a tone that is clean and sharp rather than sugary. The heart is peony, magnolia and lotus, three flowers chosen for lightness: the first brisk and watery, the second fuller and gently creamy, the third green and faintly watery. Mahogany then brings a dry, polished warmth and musk a soft clean skin finish.
In the parfum treatment the whole thing gains body and the materials sit closer together. The flowers hold their shape for longer, the mahogany is a good deal easier to pick out, and the fragrance stays with you well past the point at which a lighter concentration would already have faded away. It does not become loud; it becomes durable, which is a different and more useful thing.
This size is best understood as the everyday bottle for a signature scent. If you wear it most days, one large bottle works out better than a succession of small ones, and it looks the part sitting out on a dressing table rather than hidden in a drawer. Spring and summer suit it best, work and daytime most of all, though it has enough weight here for evenings. It reads feminine and it is widely liked, which makes it a dependable choice rather than an adventurous one.
The company was Gianni Versace's, set up in Milan in 1978, and his sister Donatella has had the leading of it since he died. Fashion, interiors, hospitality and fragrance are all part of what it now does.
