Versace Perfumes: Bright Crystal and Crystal Noir

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Versace’s Crystal fragrances make a grand opulent statement with an impressionable bottle topped with a crystal-cut stopper. The scent bespeaks the Versace style which caters to the elegant socialites and the chic urban trendsetters. Each Crystal defines a pleasant floriental fragrance that typifies the modern Versace woman of today.

Versace Crystal Noir resembles a garden of white floral sprinkled with fruit notes, amber, sandalwood and musk. It’s a light fragrance embellished with a unique depth projecting a sexy, sultry and enigmatic appeal. This scent is quietly potent and ironically, overt with a highly compelling openness. According to one perfumista, “A lovely dark rendition of gardenia, creamy & a bit of green, not too heavy & sweet like they can be.. Definitely sensuous & tropical, clear but rich like syrup. Like a warm clear night in the tropics, full moon & light breeze.” Its presence emanates from the subtle notes that develop over time; kudos to the richness of amber and musk at the base that diffuses into a lovely essence of depth and darkness – qualities that make Crystal Noir so intoxicatingly sensual.       

Versace Bright Crystal is a playful mix of florals and citrus, pleasant and incredibly sparkling. If Crystal Noir is made for fiery evening affairs, Bright Crystal, on the one hand, sets the stage for the perfect daytime perfume. Sublime, innocent and young in many ways, this fragrance transforms the precious and beautiful flowers into a musky-ambery dry down without being too heady. It’s well-blended and the notes don’t get lost in a cacophony of discord of florals and musk.

Both fragrances have above-average longevity. To appreciate its beauty, let the fragrance do its magic on your skin over time. The unexpected surprise and the sexy aroma of Versace perfumes are labeled as man-magnet.   

From femme fatale to a quietly demure woman, Versace Crystal Noir and Bright Crystal captured these two contrasting characteristics into two extraordinary fragrances that truly define your fancy.

Dolce & Gabbana perfume review - D&G Feminine and D&G Masculine

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

D&G Feminine is a clean, crisp and fruity floral scent with a musky dry down. Introduced in 1999, this modern scent is geared towards the young market. Straightforward and uncomplicated, this fragrance is sprinkled with intricate florals and hints of musky woods. It features tangerine, green pear, water lily, mimosa, wisteria, musk, vanilla bean and sandalwood.

Living up to its namesake, D&G Feminine is indeed very feminine. The soft florals combined with the slight powdery accent makes it very delicate but not cloyingly sweet and offensive in any way. Some perfume aficionados consider the scent a bit old-fashioned. According to one perfume review from Fragrantica, “D&G Feminine is very sensual,unique and very romantic. I like the sensual powdery dry down. It fills me up with harmony. The smell of flowers is so real I feel like I am in a flower garden!Excellent lasting power! P.S. For me personally is for spring/summer time.” And another thumbs up for its stunning scent, “I really love this fragrance, clean, fresh, soft, powdery… for me it's amazing. The dry down is beautiful and definitely feminine without being too girly like or sweet. Good staying power. Great for every season. Dolce and Gabbana Feminine is classy and beautiful. For me is the best Dolce&Gabbana scent and it’s quite underrated.”

D&G Masculine is a woody-aromatic fragrance bursting with a classic lemony citrus scent. This refreshingly simple perfume features stong lemon notes and dries down with a woody-spice base. The contemporary freshness boast a well-blended depth, it’s a bit sweet, more like lemon candy-like. On the sillage department, D&G Masculine keeps the scent close to the skin. It is long lasting and kudos to the lemon notes, the scent permeates an uplifting ambiance.

D&G Feminine and D&G Masculine comes in a very handy and sleek transparent bottle and is available in eau de toilette form. Italian fashion house Dolce&Gabbana continues to create timeless long-term trends and like their clothing line, their fragrances evoke a distinct luxe style of modern loving.
