Dylan Turquoise Gift Set
Versace Dylan Turquoise Gift Set is a hot weather present, and that narrowness is a strength rather than a limitation once you know the person you are buying for.
The scent inside leads with fruit and keeps leading with it. Mandarin orange and lemon open bright and juicy, pink pepper lends a dry crackle above them, and guava dominates the middle with a sweetness that has a green, slightly savoury twist to it. Blackcurrant keeps the sweetness in check with a tart, leafy sharpness, while jasmine and freesia float over the fruit and lighten the whole arrangement.
Musk closes the composition on its own, which makes for a short and uncomplicated finish. The result stays close, soft and clean after the first couple of hours, and that is what makes it a comfortable thing to wear in heat where a heavier perfume would be unbearable. Nobody has tried to give this one depth it does not need. The pleasure of a fragrance like this is in the first ten minutes after a shower on a hot day, and it delivers that consistently every time you use it.
Boxed as a set, it reads as a holiday gift, a summer birthday gift, or a present for someone young who is still working out what they like. Nothing in it is difficult and the fruit does most of the persuading. It is also the sort of set that gets opened and used immediately rather than put in a cupboard for later, which is more than can be said for a lot of boxed fragrance.
The label is Italian. Gianni Versace opened it in Milan in 1978, Donatella Versace has guided it since he died, and it reaches well beyond clothing into interiors, hotels and scent.
