Versace Bright Crystal has notes described on sephora as:
Iced Accord, Yuzu, Pomegranate, Peony, Magnolia, Lotus Flower, Acajou, Vegetal Amber, Musk.
I love anything that smells clean and pretty. This is definitely a soft girly fragrance. I get a lot of floral from it but it's a summery scent. There is nothing heavy or strong about this fragrance. It's my new spring/summer scent. It's nice for day wear, not too strong. I am a nurse and I don't want to wear anything that will come off too strong but I do like to smell clean and fresh. This scent lasts a while on me. Even when I can't smell it anymore, people tell me I smell nice. It retals for $88 for the 3 oz bottle but you can do a search online and get it cheaper. I got mine for $46 on amazon. Certain times of the year, Costco sells it for around the same price. Right now on sephora, if you spend $25 you can get a delux sample of this perfume. I recommend you check it out if you like feminine soft scents. It's in the same family as the original Pink by Victoria's Secret.

A young, fresh, and sweet floral, to be sure, but it's pretty amazing as the day goes on. I was somewhat worried that it would be too sharp and green on me (because if there's something green in a fragrance, that is the ONLY thing that comes out when I wear it), but this one has much more depth that I would have imagined.
It starts off strong-willed and impetuous, with pomegranate predominantly, then settles down to magnolia and lotus, and then the final staying power has soft, gentle, and quiet peony, amber and a hint of musk.
Initially it was almost too much for me, but I've learned to give new fragrances time, since they rarely smell the same after a few hours.
I saw in many other reviews that the staying power was slight. On me, the soft peony, amber and musk is the only thing that remains at the end of the day - so it certainly isn't as strong as it started - but, as I love peony it is rapidly becoming a new favorite. And for an EDT, I was impressed that it had that much depth and staying power, anyway.
I LOVE, love, love the bottle - especially the top. And the pink juice is a nice touch. Very feminine. Looks amazing on my dresser. I actually put all my other fragrances away so this one would have center stage. :)
My opinion is that if you like florals, you should at least try it - you never know how it will wear for you. I used to not like florals at all but am finding my tastes are changing. If you like pomegranate, you will probably like this -

So bored of this scent. I smell it on SO many people and it kinda puts me off knowing that im going to smell like so many others around me. anyways its also too flowery for my taste. didnt work for me. but i can understand why it may be some peoples favorite.

This fragrance bored the heck out of me, entirely too young & immature smelling for me. I really wanted to like, but I think it is a bit too floral for my taste. I smell absolutely no amber in this, reason I mention is because I usually love everything amber, but where is it? Hmmm maybe if they added a bit more spice it would be "my kind"! continued >>

I received this deluxe sample from sephora so I can't comment on the price. Let me get to the point - the dry down smells exactly like Bounce dryer sheets. It's completely unbearable. I would never purchase.

My signature scent is Chanel Allure-all year long. I received a sample vial and dabbed a bit of this on my wrists and neck. It's very different from Allure. This is bright, fruity/floral, pretty, flirty and light. I feel sweet and girly when I where this and not confident and sophisticated.
This is something I would spritz on during the spring/summer when I'm wearing a flirty dress and feeling girly.

I got this a gift set and ran out of my signature scent so I started using this one... at first I didn't like it because I was just so used to the Angel "choco" scent then I kept wearing and let it blend with my body chemistry.... grew a strong liking for it.... I would go back and smell my clothes and was like ok we may have another scent in the rotation... so if someone buys me a perfume gift of their choice and its not one of my rotation choices I will probably take it back to get the Bright Crystal if I don'tr already have Angel on standby...

So I finally tried this fragrance at Ulta and I was kind of shocked by how sweet it is. I've smelled sweet fragrances and I like a few of them. I even like higher end "youthful" fragrances such as Forbidden Euphoria and Miss Dior Cherie. However, Bright Crystal really came off smelling very synthetic to me like the kind of fragrance in liquid foundation, and didn't work well with my body chemistry. After about an hour, I had family members smell it on me and they didn't like it at all. In fact, my mom-in-law said it smelled better in the magazine. I think I can agree it smelled alright in the bottle, but really just isn't for me at all. What I did like and what worked for me was Versace's original parfum for women and Crystal Noir. That last one is amazing and very different from anything I have ever liked or tried. I ended up buying a bottle of the Crystal Noir and am finding it very nice. But, back to Bright Crystal. I've had it on for much of the day now, and the weird thing is that is smells similar to a very light version of L'Occitane's Cherry Blossoms. It didn't start off that way, but that is what it ended up as. I can tolerate the dry down, but not the first couple of hours. Not everything works for everybody, so I would really suggest trying before you buy. :)

I was given this beautiful fragrance as a gift and have carried on buying it for the last 2 years and will continue to buy it. I am always commented on how lovely I smell by people who see me day to day to strangers in the street. I would definitely recommend purchasing this fragrance as you can wear it day or night and even all year round. It is also reasonably priced unlike some other fragrances. Definitely worth a 5 in the overall Rating.

The only thing I don't love is the packaging because the bottle looked cute in the picture but it feels kind of cheap when you hold it because the top is made of plastic I think. But I love the sweet, Gorky scent. It's def a young gfragrance and I thInk suitable for both night and day. Lasted like 2 hrs strong and then started to fade away and was pretty much gone by 4-5 yard so I'd say it had pretty decent lasting power. Go buy it! :)

Read the reviews and was hoping for a clean floral, but this is not light musk or even 'clean' on drydown. When I first sprayed it immediately reminded me of clinique happy and D&G light blue, it has that bitter citrus in the smell. It's very strong and the citrus does fade quite quickly but what was left behind was a very fruity, almost sweaty fragrance very similar to a lot of teenage fragrances. It depends on body chemistry I suppose but to me it's just another of those generic headachy teenage fragrances. I tend to go for fragrances such as Amazing Grace, light fresh and hint of flower. Bright Crystal is like a bottle of crushed grapefruit. continued >>

My first perfume purchase and my favorite scent. It's light and floral, and totally wearable for both day and night. My only dislike is the packaging, which is a bit too over-the-top feminine for me, haha. Still, I'll definitely buy again!

This is a nice floral scent. Wearable day and night. The packaging is a little obnoxious for me, lol, but oh well. Definately will buy again.

I received this for Christmas, after wanting it for several years but never actually buying it myself. At first, it smells very fruity but it dries down to smell lightly floral,a little fruity with a hint of something a bit heavier...maybe musk (I'm far from an expert so I'm not sure). The scent doesn't last all day sadly, which is why I haven't given it 5 stars. It's still lovely though, and a scent I think a lot of people would enjoy.

This is an amazing scent. I have been looking for something this light and sweet for a long time without it being to young for me.
For me this is perfect!

Just got this as an early christmas gift, and I really like it. It smells light, sweet, little fruity but has a tint of musk! A manly musk, which is the ONLY thing I dislike. It's not very distinct, but it's there. Smells amazing overall, unfortunently doesn't last long.

This perfume smells to me like clean in a bottle, not soap clean though just beautiful, fresh, crisp, clean. Like a soft breeze, it's not overpowering and I sprayed a lot. I think it's certainly a youthful smell, but for all ages. It's not too sweet or too chemically or too floral. I think it's a perfect scent BUT it just did not last on me at all. It really has terrible staying power for the price tag and for that reason I will only repurchase if I see it very cheap in a sale. It's such a shame though because it's scent wise it was a real hit with me, my boyfriend and friends.
I think it would make the perfect gift for almost all women young and old as it is somewhat neutral but beautiful.

Bright Crystal is a feminine, very gorgeous scent. It smells flowery, but nothing too overpowering and it is light. The packaging is absolutely beautiful! One of my favourites! I do agree with some people about the staying power of it, it does seem to wear off a little after a couple of hours or so but I've gone through 3 bottles and don't think I'll be stopping any time soon :)

I love the smell of this perfume! So light, it makes me feel super pretty. The packaging is very elegant and beautiful even if the price is a little high to me, but im ok with spending on a perfume I'll be wearing most days
But the sad thing is that this doesn't last on me at all. It lasts for about 20 min. After an hour, its basically totally gone. I returned this today at Sephora and got Gucci EDP II instead. I was so dissapointed
