Bright Crystal Absolu

Bright Crystal Absolu by Versace is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2013 in the designer price tier. It opens with yuzu and pomegranate, moves into peony, magnolia, lotus and raspberry and dries down to amber and musk. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
• Pomegranate Tart, juicy and jewel-red. Sharper than most berries.

Heart

• Peony Pink, watery and slightly peppery. Modern and inoffensive.
• Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
• Lotus Pale, watery flower. Delicate and slightly powdery.
• Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.

Dry-down

• Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
