New Bright Crystal Parfum: Honest Review 🌸✨
🌸 Lemon Loves, I’m actually a little disappointed in this one. It’s not that it smells bad, but it’s 97% the same as the original. The only real difference between this one and the original is that this one has some caramel at the top that combines with the Yuzu at the top giving this an almost “grapefruit” effect. Also, there’s more musk. Helvetolide, AMBROX® SUPER, Norlimbanol and “musk” fall under the amber, woody, musky category. The musk makes this last a bit longer which I guess can make this feel a little more “intense” but in terms of smell, it’s nothing special.
If you have either the original you don’t really need this unless you are a collector. I feel like this was created as an easy cash grab by the brand. ⭐️Overall rating: 5/10
Now the Absolu version is really pretty, more aquatic and fruity with a beautiful raspberry note in the middle. If you haven’t tried that one yet, go give it a whiff.
The Versace Bright Crystal line has long been a favorite among fragrance enthusiasts for its elegant and floral scents. The original Bright Crystal, with its fresh notes of pomegranate, peony, and lotus, made a significant impact in the fragrance world. The new Bright Crystal Parfum adds a twist with top notes of caramel and Yuzu giving off a grapefruit-like aroma, giving fans a reason to explore this latest offering. Yet, despite the additions, many reviewers point out that the new parfum feels very similar to the original, causing some disappointment among seasoned users. Critics have suggested that the introduction of the caramel note, while pleasant, does not create enough distinction to warrant a purchase for those who already own the original. The added musk has improved its longevity, but it seems to not elevate the overall experience. For those who enjoyed the aquatic notes in the Absolu version of Bright Crystal, which features a delightful raspberry heart, this new release may be worth a sniff if you are a collector or simply want to explore Versace’s evolving fragrance collection. However, if you aren’t a die-hard fan or collector, you might find the original still fits the bill perfectly without investing in the new version.
