Yellow Diamond
Yellow Diamond by Versace is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 2011 in the designer price tier. It opens with lemon, bergamot and pear, moves into freesia, orange blossom and mimosa and dries down to amber, white musk and guaiac wood. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Heart
- Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
