Versace Perfume Reviewed

Versace is a name that has come to stand for elegance, beauty, and quality, and the perfumes that carry the Versace name are no different. The company started selling perfume in 1982, and has been successful with it ever since. There's no doubting the quality of the product.

And yet, it can be hard for a girl to find the exact right perfume. Just like two expensive pieces of clothing can clash badly, a lovely scent can be completely wrong for a particular woman. The goal of this Hub is to explain my particular experiences with two separate Versace perfume for women - Bright Crystal and Crystal Noir.

Versace has been creating perfume for decades now, and the quality always shines through.  The first scent, named Gianni Versace, was a huge hit, and all the lines over the years have met with good, though not always stellar, successes.

To be honest, Versace is one of my least used perfumes.  Not that I have anything against it, as you'll see later on, but it's one of the more expensive perfumes I buy, so I tend to be somewhat conservative with its usage.  Other brands include Blonde, The Dreamer, and Glam.

Bright Crystal is definitely my Versace scent, and one that I recommend you try.  It's has a very light, floral smell that never feels too strong - I remember one of my friends once saying it's almost more of an afterscent than an actual scent, and I think I agree.

It has a floral scent, but not one that I can very easily recognize - lotus perhaps?  I'm not very good at identifying flowers by smell, but it is certainly a floral smell, and so if that's what you usually wear you'd feel right at home in this.  It's very fresh too - the first time I smelled it I imagined I was cutting flowers in a flower shop.  Something like that.

It's also very light - you'd have to put a lot of it on to overpower someone.  It actually makes me think of a spring day, right after the winter has gone, when everything smells new and green again.  Call me a romantic if you want, but I like that smell!

So like you can probably tell I'm a big fan of this one.  It smells young and fresh, and I like that smell a lot.

Now this one I'm not a big fan of, but that's not because it's a bad perfume.  Again, just because I don't like a smell does not mean you won't - I'm just trying to give my honest opinion.  Crystal Noir's biggest problem for me is that it's fruity.  It's very strongly fruity.  Like you've stuck your face in a pomegranate.  I don't really like fruity perfumes in general, I prefer floral ones better, and this one is stronger too.  So it's practically the opposite of Bright Crystal - maybe that's why they both have 'crystal' in their names.

Now if you like fruity perfumes, or if you like your perfume to be a little stronger, then by all means, run to the store and get some Crystal Noir.  But for myself, I'll stick with something else.

If you're looking for a Versace woman perfume that's light and floral, then Bright Crystal is definitely your pick.  If you'd like something more fruity and a little heavier, Crystal Noir may be what you're looking for.  They're both high quality perfumes at high, but not ridiculous prices.  And while I'm not afraid to give my personal opinion, that doesn't mean Crystal Noir is a bad product.
