Versace Man Eau Fraiche


From Versace.com
Launched in 2006, this woody citrus fragrance smells like subtle confidence and yet has a strong sophisticated stance that any man would want to portray.  On impact, the fragrance is very fresh citrus and as the fragrance progresses, the sweet fruity and soft woody notes come out to play. There's also a tinge of pepper that plays well with the sweet and citrus notes. On dry down, I can detect a very herbal woody note.

What I like about this fragrance is the refreshing citrus impact that is reminiscent of summer - wild beach party, warm sand, turquoise blue water and the beat of a faint pop music in the background while sipping a frozen mojito.  It's very aquatic appeal refreshes that flirts well with the sweet woody notes.  And with this, it gives an after shower feel all throughout the day.

Olfactive Rating:  Scentsational (4)
Recommendation: can be for both old or young, sporty or not. may even be unisex to a certain extent
Ideal Time of Wear: day or night

Versace Bright Crystal Absolu

Picture grabbed from www.fragrancesoftheworld.info


I went fragrance smelling during my recent trip to Hongkong. I came across Versace's Bright Crystal Absolu in one of the Sasa stores in Kowloon.

 This fragrance is a follow-up to Versace Bright Crystal and, as expected, it smells very similar to Absolu. Except that it smells slightly more metallic and cold (crystal nga e) than the original. The light floral-fruity fragrance is very feminine and sheer. Very light that my impression is that it won't last long, especially in a very humid Manila weather.

 The lightness sparkles with floral-fruity mixture of yuzu citrus, pomegranate and strawberry fruits mixed with magnolia white flowers. Soft musk and mahogany with sweetness from amber highlight the base of the fragrance.

 Do I recommend it? Yes, if you are into light-won't-interfere-with-my-life kind of fragrance especially if you've liked D&G Light Blue and Cool Water for women. Perfect for day-to-night use.

 However, if you like Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, then I recommend you stick to these brands. Versace Bright Crystal Absolu will just be too light for you.

 Available at Rustan's for P5,700 per 100ml.
