Versace rarely revisits a bestseller without adding real weight to it, and Bright Crystal Absolu Perfume proves that immediately, yuzu lemon, raspberry, and amber landing considerably richer than the original Bright Crystal formula. Peony, raspberry, lotus, and magnolia crowd the middle with genuine floral abundance, warm rather than merely bright as the composition develops. Musk, mahogany, and amber hold the dry down in dense, resinous depth for many long hours after the florals above have properly faded away.
Formal evenings suit this fruity floral Eau de Parfum especially well, richer and considerably more intense than the release it descends from. The name promises something genuinely concentrated, and every single stage of the fragrance follows through on that particular ambitious promise.
