I've always had a thing with scents since I was a kid. I like to smell good all the time. As I grow up and make a little money, perfumes become like a hobby. If someone wear anything that smells good, I'd ask them what they are wearing. But most of the time I do recognize the smell and realize I have the perfume at home.
Today I'm going to review two og the Versace's perfumes, called: Bright Crystal & Crystal Noir. I find it easier to compare these two perfumes as I review them. So if you like it, keep reading :)
1. Packaging
- Bright Crystal: Versace is known for a simple square packaging. So most of boxes just say the name and have a represented color on the out side. Bright Crystal's color is pink that gradients to white. Really simple and easy to recognize.
- Crystal Noir: noir means "night" in french. So it's not a surprise when Noir Crystal have a all black packaging.
While the packaging is so simple, you will open it to find a HUGE surprise. Versace clearly put more effort on the bottle rather then the box. Both Bright Crystal and Crystal Noir have a similar bottle: a square bottle with their represented color and a HUGE "diamond" on top. How gorgeous isn't that?
Both bottles have the Versace logo on the top as you see. Beside from the big diamond, they keep it simple and clean.
Bright Crystal on the left. I have this perfume in 50ml bottle. Crystal Noir on the right with 30ml bottle.
Both look so beautiful with the diamond that you want to put them on display. It's more difficult to travel with though. The diamond will take alot of place in your bag and it's kinda heavy. But who cares? I have a gorgeous perfume. Everybody look at me!
3. The smell
- Bright Crystal: this perfume have a very clean smell when you first put it on or just smell it from the bottle. It smells like a mixture with fruits and flowers. The smell is very strong when you put it on. After you let it melt down a little bit on you skin, the warmer flower smell will take over the fruity side. It smell sweet and warm and clean at the same time. I will like a sweet classy girl wearing this. It's one of my favorite all time perfume. I recommend to wear this at day time or summer, because the smell is much sharper when you where it when it's cold outside and just doesn't give the same "sweet" you want to smell. The lasting power is terrific. After seven-eight hours, the smell fades a little bit and and really blend with your warm skin. I seriously smell my wrist all the time wearing this. And I've got alot of compliments as well.
Hehe, as you see, I had to buy a new one because I used it all up. But the bottle is so beautiful that I don't want to throw it away. It's gonna be on display next to to full one.
- Crystal Noir: as the name says, it suposed to be weared at night. It also is a good fall/ winter perfume because the smell is much heavier. It smell really nice from the bottle. I smell only loads of flowers and no fruit at all on this one. You're going to feel so classy and powerful wearing this. I can already see in my head all the ladies with black or red long dress walking to the ball like queen or something. This is not what I usual wear. Because I have to admit, I get a little headache wearing this because the smell is so strong I feel like it stays on my skin forever. This perfume is gonna suit women who is a bit older than me that want to feel classy on special occasion like a pretty dinner or ball. I feel it's too much to wear this everyday.
The lasting power of this one is impressive. It stays on all day and almost doesn't fade at all. It smell a bit sweeter when blended with your warm skin, but still give a strong impression.
Versace also have one more "Crystal" perfume called Absolu or something, that kinda smells like Bright Crystal, but more instenst. So check that out as well. Smell it, swatch it and find your favorite Crystal.
I'll see you next time ~
