9 Fragrances Similar to Versace Bright Crystal

by

Bright Crystal by Versace has remained a best selling ladies’ fragrance, since its initial release. People seem to really enjoy this scent, for its clean mix of yuzu and peony, and versatile style. As such, folks want to try to capture a similar experience with other perfumes.

In this post, I aim to give you the options to do so. Now, for this scent in particular, I haven’t found any cheaper exact aromas like that of Bright Crystal.

Update: I have now found and added some to the list. However, I do have fragrances that share a similar aroma, or common sensibility with the Versace scent.

Perfumes that Smell Like Bright Crystal by Versace

Inspired By

Fruity Magnolia by Dossier– So, as far as perfumes go that try to closely replicate the aroma that you get with our Versace target, Fruity Magnolia from Dossier seems to be the best bet.

Others on the list are going to produce a similar style and some overlapping note. This one, is made to try get the Bright Crystal experience beat for beat.

I haven’t tried this one out personally, but I have tried others out from Dossier and they lived up to my expectations. Bright Crystal isn’t a very complicated formula to match and the reviews seem positive.

If you want a cheaper alternative, this is going to be the one, for under $30 currently (as of last update).

Inspired by the Other Bright Crystal

Absolute Crystal Glow by Dua– This one from Dua isn’t inspired by the original Bright Crystal, rather, it tries for a resemblance to Absolu (listed below).

The pomegranate and yuzu opening is going to be there, with what I hope is the same boldness that you get with Absolu.

This is another of these designer inspired options that I haven’t tried out. The Dua Brand is a company that I’ve bought like 10 other fragrances from and they’ve all been of great quality. Plus, close in matching what the original designer fragrance smells like. Affordable and worth a try.

Bright Reflection

Pisa Reflection– Here’s another perfume option that is based on our target’s note structure. This time from Fragrenza, a brand that I’ve purchased from before, and had some really quite good inspirations of other designer wears.

Their BR 540 was good and I think a few of the Kilian inspired scents were very close to the originals and had long-lasting formulas.

I have not tried this one out, as of yet, but I’ll add this to the list for those who want to give it a whirl and don’t want to go with the Dossier

Ice, yuzu, pomegranate, magnolia, and lotus (among others) should make Pisa Reflection one to check out.

 

The Other Bright Crystal

Versace Bright Crystal Absolu Eau de Perfume Spray, 3.0 Ounce– Obviously, the flanker fragrance, is going to have lots of similarities to the original Bright Crystal. However, Absolu, has a stronger presence and the strength of the fruit notes have been enhanced.

It’s sweeter and has somewhat less peony than the original does, but with bolder sillage and has better longevity. This can be a good option for those, who are looking for a greater performing version of Bright Crystal.

Discontinued Dior 

DIOR ADDICT 2 by Christian Dior EDT SPRAY 1.7 OZ for WOMEN– Addict 2 is probably the most similar of any fragrance, outside of Absolu, to our target. Not an exact match, but pretty darn close. The main difference, is the lack of peony.

However, it replaces that with freesia and lotus. You get pomegranate and citrus, just tweaked, from Bright Crystal. For instance, there is a strong pineapple note, in Addict 2.

This one has been discontinued, so, it’s getting tough to find bottles and it can be expensive. Honestly, it’d just be better to stick with the Versace.

Similar Style from Gucci

GUCCI ENVY ME Perfume By GUCCI For WOMEN– Envy Me is an older fragrance, that you can still find bottles of online. This Gucci perfume isn’t a one to one or note for note scent, but it does share some of the same ingredients, and overall structure as Bright Crystal.

In here, you get pineapple, litchi, and mango; instead of the lemon. But, you get a strong peony and some pomegranate, thrown in also. Envy Me is a fun scent, with the fruity/floral composition, just not the same citrus led aroma.

Lighter and Fruitier

Bŭrberry Brit Sheer For Women 1.6 fl. Oz Eau de Toilette– Brit Sheer really does deliver a similar style to Bright Crystal. It’s close to it, but much fruitier at the top, softer, and dries down with the peony being dominant.

Bright Crystal is probably more balanced than this one, while, you get front-loaded with much of the citrus notes here.

Sheer is an easy to wear perfume that is clean, won’t overpower, and gives you a nice floral/musk dry down.

 

More Floral and Woody

Chloe New for Women. Eau De Parfum Spray 2.5-Ounces– This is one has some overlap and brings a similar experience. A nice, moderate scent by Chloe. New is a complex and feminine scent that isn’t too bold but will add a bit of warmth and class to any woman.

Notes include: Magnolia, rose, lily of the valley cedar wood base, amber. The rose is the most prominent of the floral notes, with a somewhat powdery aroma, and the addition of a very solid peony.

Chloe EDP has a nice woodiness in the dry down, that helps to give it a more solid base, and the performance on this one is pretty outstanding. Its sillage can be powerful and will go the full day.

 

Similar Style, Differing Notes

Very Irresistible By Givenchy For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 2.5 Ounces A deliciously seductive fragrance by Givenchy. It blends rose and peony among other notes, to create a long-lasting and beautiful affair, which adds a bit of spice to the floral notes.

It opens with the rose note and anise, which provides the fresh spice complement, to the floral aroma. As it dries down, the peony comes into its own, and takes Very Irresistible away from being more of a pure rose fragrance.

This one will last a full 8 hours, isn’t a sillage beast, and works very well in the spring/summer months. Nice ,can give off a similar vibe, and inhabits the same sort of style.  Full Review

 

 

Polo Blue Eau de Parfum by Ralph Lauren

by

I couldn’t remember exactly why I had ordered a sample of Polo Blue. After all, I’d already used it before and reviewed it on this site: here. Eventually, I pulled it back out of the box and it dawned on me that I had done so because this was the Eau de Parfum version of the fragrance and not the original release that I’d already went over.

Cool. I was excited to see if there were many differences between this EDP version and the original Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren.  As usual, I want to cover how it smells, performs, when it should be worn, and if it is worth a buy or not.

Update: I’ve come back to add things a few times to my initial review from 2016 for additional thoughts and clarity.

What Does Polo Blue Eau de Parfum Smell Like?

Notes include: suede, bergamot, cardamom, basil, sea notes, sage, vetiver, woods

My Full Wear Review

I haven’t smelled the original Polo Blue in a while and only have a slight memory of how it was, so I also have to rely on my posted review, to make comparisons between the two. However, this EDP, definitely feels different.

Actually, the opening really reminds me of Acqua Di Gio Profumo, because of the citrus aroma provided by the bergamot. I still have a sample of that Armani scent and it does share the bergamot, aquatic notes, sage, and patchouli with Polo Blue EDP.

Update: Having had a full bottle of Profumo and trying EDP multiple times since this review, the sage is much heavier in Profumo. But, this is still like a mix of Polo Blue and AdG Profumo, in the early stages, especially.

As a side note, Polo Blue EDT smells a lot like, Eternity Aqua by Calvin Klein.

It opens up with a sharp bergamot, spices, and its oceanic notes. The spices are sage, cardamom, and basil. Each of those notes, seems to have its turn as the main spice, before falling back into the ranks. Cardamom starts off in the lead.

Very aquatic and citrusy at the top, then, the suede comes in to give it an almost leathery feeling. Coming back to Polo Blue EDP, it noticeably has the same style as, Fan di Fendi Acqua during the middle.

Both aquatic, spicy, with smooth notes (actual leather in the Fendi fragrance). Not the same smell, but that cologne also reminds me of this one with how it comes across.

The final dry down, is much more woody/earthy than it had been up to that point. You do still get some basil/sage, but it isn’t nearly as spicy. Wood and patchouli at the base, with suede, sea notes, and some citrus. Much smoother and not as sharp, I really dig the latter stages.

That’s what this fragrance is to me, a blend of Acqua Di Gio Profumo and the original Polo Blue. You would of course have to minus the melon and cucumber notes from the Polo Blue original but that is essentially what this EDP is.

Honestly, I like it. It’s not super exciting but I do think that it is better than the original, which I thought smelled nice but was just bland as hell. Though, it has a lot of similarities to how this smells during that dry down. Still, this is better.

Polo Blue EDP once it settles down, loses a bit of the similarity it shares with ADG Profumo, and begins to emerge more as the original Blue but with more defined notes.

It’s second half takes on a smoother aquatic/woodsy feel with the sea notes and suede, that is noticeably boosted in this version.

Sillage, Longevity, Versatility

Projection wise, it’s pretty good. Not overly loud but not a skin scent either. On the longevity end, it might be a little bit better than the original but really, not by much. It’s definitely in the realm of average, in that regard.

That initial burst is pretty strong, but it never matched the intensity of the original bottles of AdG Profumo.

I would say that this is a good casual wear for warmer weather and not much of a club or date night scent. Although, I think it’d be okay for the latter. It’s attractive enough, but not necessarily something that will really draw someone in.

Wearing it more often, I’ve been getting in the 5-7 hour range, pretty consistently. Definitely towards the higher end of that range, but sometimes, it doesn’t hold up as well.

In the summertime, this is the type of perfume that I can wear anywhere, and not feel out of place with it on.

Overall Impression of Polo Blue EDP

Overall, is Polo Blue Eau de Parfum a buy? It is better than the original, in my opinion. So, if you liked that, then think of this as an upgrade. It does everything well and as a casual scent, I don’t think you could go wrong owning this one.

It’s pleasant and should garner complements, which is essentially everything most guys want from a fragrance. If you don’t like aquatics or citrus based scents, you should probably look elsewhere.

Polo Blue EDP honestly grew on me, the more that I wore it. It’s still not an absolute love or must buy, but it has such an appeal on certain days, that I want to spray it on.

Update: I’ve also enjoyed Deep Blue from this series. Polo Blue Parfum is also nice. I’d say this one or Deep Blue are my favorites from the line.

Meow by Katy Perry

by

Chugging along my sample fragrance reviews, I’m coming back to the celebrity releases, with one from Katy Perry. Meow! is one of her more popular perfumes and I’d say for good reason. I already liked this scent, but wanted to do a deeper dive. Meow was a 2011 release from this line. How does it smell? What’s the performance like? Is it actually worth a buy?

What does Meow Smell Like?

Notes include: tangerine, pear, lily of the valley, honeysuckle, gardenia, jasmine, vanilla, sandalwood, musk, sandalwood

Click here to try: Katy Perry Meow Eau De Parfum Spray for Women, 3.4 Ounce

My Full Review

To my nose, Meow opens up with vanilla and a nice juicy/sparkling pear, surrounded by floral notes like jasmine and particularly gardenia. It’s not a gardenia heavy scent, but it sort of gets wrapped in the vanilla and pear sweetness, which creates a beautiful little aroma.

After about 10 minutes, I can detect a citrus aroma, which is the tangerine and orange flower joining forces. It’s very subtle, around only briefly, but it was totally there on my skin.

This is definitely a vanilla dominant fragrance, a very sweet vanilla, that is only bolstered by the fruity ingredients.

As it dries down, it stays fairly close to this formula. A sugary vanilla, with fruit notes, and a light blend of floral notes. One difference, is the emergence of a warm amber note. Not super potent, but it pulls things together.

One thing that I really enjoy about Meow, is that even in its relative simplicity, is how I periodically get to smell individual flowers. Mostly, its the gardenia, but there is also some honeysuckle and jasmine.

Like the other Katy Perry perfumes, Meow isn’t a highly complex scent, but it sticks to its fundamental core quite well.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

In terms of its sillage, Meow isn’t a heavy or extremely well projecting perfume. It’s actually decent at it, for the first couple of hours. I think the sweetness of the scent, gives off the illusion that it is bolder, than it actually is.

Nonetheless, I don’t find it to be weak or a bad performer. It’ll leave a scent trail behind you for a while and holds up well for a time.

It stuck to my skin for right around 6 hours. By no means, is that amazing, but we are dealing with a sub-$20 fragrance. For the price, you do get value. Plus, it doesn’t turn into a weak skin scent within 15 minutes, so, six hours of performance is good enough.

Seasonally, pretty much fits anytime. Maybe, the absolute hottest days of summer, would be a pass but that’s it. I’d say that it’s best in autumn and into early springtime. Just find something else for the heat.

This is a rather girly perfume, but honestly isn’t ‘childish’, just a sugary aroma. It’s  going to skew younger, but I think that this is a better quality scent versus many others of this ilk, and older women could enjoy it also.

Probably don’t want to wear Meow professionally, but as a casual scent, it will work well. It’s something you can throw on during your day and get a delicious boost. It’s fun, fairly linear, but still smells good. Just don’t expect anything hyper unique or sophisticated.

Overall Impression of Meow by Katy Perry

Do I like this perfume? I do. I actually think that I prefer it to Purr by Katy, as well. Yes, this type of fragrance has been done plenty of times before, but this is an attractive example at a cheap price.

There are a ton of perfumes out there for under $25, that are poor quality and basically trash. Meow is not that.  This Katy Perry release overdelivers versus my expectations of it, but doesn’t ever hit an elite level. Sticks to a basic formula and doesn’t try to go too deep.

If you don’t like the sugary sweet kind of aromas, don’t get this. If you’re a fan of vanilla and pear, this will be a super affordable option for you. I really like the vanilla here, simple gourmand. The floral hints that I caught throughout, also made this a nice wear.

Is it the best thing ever? No, but it’s a great little celebrity scent, that actually gives you your money’s worth.

Chrome United by Azzaro

by

I only got a hold of a handful of men’s fragrance samples, during my last haul. One of them, is the subject of today’s post and a flanker to the ever popular Chrome, Chrome United. This is one of a series of colognes, with a title under that banner, but how does it actually smell? Is the performance on this fragrance any good? Is Chrome United worth a buy?

What does Chrome United Smell Like?

Notes include: bergamot, Sichuan pepper, Ceylan black tea, cedar, musk, violet leaf

Click here to try: Chrome United by AZZARO for Men Eau De Toílette Spray 6.8 oz 

My Full Wear Review

Chrome United opens up with a citrus blast of bergamot, a warm Sichuan pepper, and a greenish herbal tea. It has a somewhat familiar resemblance to the original Chrome, with the bergamot, and a slight metallic aroma.

Nonetheless, United strikes me a distinct and separate fragrance, unto itself. There is also a coriander note in there, it has moments where it reminds me a bit of Nautica Voyage Sport, although that is short-lived.

As it dries down, the spices fall back, and it becomes more about the violet leaf and tea. It becomes quite herbal, a bit green, with a musky citrus finish. This is pretty much the smell that I get, for the rest of the way.

Later, the bergamot fades out almost entirely, and the violet leaf gets stronger. Outside of that, it’ nearly identical to what it was, near 1 hour mark.

Chrome United is a rather simple, clean, and greenish scent with some spice and musk.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Sillage wise, Chrome United isn’t one that projects itself very far. On my skin, it seems like about 3-4 feet or so at its best, and that’s what I get when I spray it on a t-shirt and place it in my room. United is definitely on the lighter side of moderate.

The longevity is okay, but really not that great. I get about 2 hours of its moderate sillage, before it sit close to the skin. On that level, it’s another 3 hours or so. So, maybe around 5-6 hours of wear total. Really could’ve been better, but still usable.

If you’re paying full retail for a bottle of United, you’ll probably be underwhelmed by the performance. At a significant discount, it wouldn’t be as bothersome.

Seasonally, I don’t see why you couldn’t wear Chrome United year round. It really doesn’t strike me, as one stuck in a certain climate. I will say, it’s more of a daytime casual fragrance. One to wear as a freshie, maybe to a non-professional, sort of job.

United isn’t really sexy, more pleasant and clean. Definitely, not a nightlife beast, at all. Though, it does have some charm wearing it outside on a sunny day. I could catch whiffs of this and that tea plus bergamot was something I enjoyed.

Overall Impression of Chrome United

Overall, do I like this fragrance? It’s decent. Chrome United doesn’t do anything great, in my opinion. It smells pretty good, performs okay, and doesn’t particularly stand out.

I’m not a huge fan of the original, but I do enjoy it a lot more than this flanker. I like the tea note and the opening part, most of all. I’m not big on violet leaf either, but it doesn’t offend me. This just isn’t all that memorable of a scent to me.

I will say, if you like the original Chrome, you will probably like this as well. I’d say if you’re interested, find a discounted bottle, and get it on the cheap. I wouldn’t pay full price for this.

The Chrome flankers are pretty hit and miss with how they smell. There’s a lot of middle of the road and bland editions of the original namesake. United, falls into this category.

10 Best Smelling Dolce & Gabbana Colognes

by

Dolce & Gabbana is an Italian luxury house that doesn’t have a whole lot of options in terms of men’s colognes but there sure do have some really good ones available. Their top perfumes are generally fresh and masculine without ever being overbearing.

I have chosen what in my opinion are the ten best options for men, looking for a D&G fragrance to start wearing. On this list, there should be something for everybody to check out, from the more popular fragrances for him to the lesser known.

What are the Best Dolce & Gabbana Fragrances for Him?

The Classic D&G Scent

Dolce & Gabbana Dolce & Gabbana By Dolce & Gabbana for Men 6.7 Oz Eau De Toilette Spray, 6.7 Oz– The company’s namesake fragrance. For a man who knows what he wants and carries himself with a calm confidence. It contains citrus notes of lemon and orange that blends with softer notes like lavender and the more heavy tobacco notes.

Brilliant fragrance for the right guy. It does have a unique profile while feeling completely familiar. I think it is the way that the lavender and tobacco fill up the heart of the fragrance.

This one is really sexy and masculine. The sillage on D&G Pour Homme was great, as well as the longevity. Lavender and lemon, with clean sandalwood, and a lovely tobacco heart.

Find an older bottle if possible, as that was when it was at its absolute best. D&G Pour Homme Review

Best The One Fragrance

The One Luminous Night– So, Dolce has developed a ton of these The One fragrance flankers. Luminous Night was one for 2021 and seems kind of limited in its production run. Though, it might very well be the best of the bunch…you just need to track down a bottle.

Update: Dua now has their inspired by take on this: 1 & Only Luminous.

Luminous Night is a sweeter fragrance, with the same amber appeal, and a smokier base than some of the others in the series. What’s great here is the addition of dates, as the fruity sweet note, sitting within that sea of amber.

Some basil and black pepper spices up top, but it isn’t too intense with it.

Also, has a woody base to go with that thicker sweet fruity top. It’s actually not super heavy, but still reserve it for cooler to moderate temperatures. Luminous Night Review

One Winter Cologne

The One EDP– I loved the original The One EDT, and it’s listed below. The problem with it was the longevity. It would fade quickly on my skin. However, The One EDP, not only boosted the performance; but also delivers a great smell…without changing too much.

Still. though, it isn’t a powerhouse. The One eau de parfum, is still however, a great warm fragrance featuring cardamom, amber, and tobacco.

It’s also become one of the best selling D&G fragrances for him. A fantastic wear in the colder months. The amber really leads the way and you give bits of spice throughout from basil, coriander, and fresh ginger.

My Other Light Blue Wear

Light Blue Sun Pour Homme– I’m replacing the original Light Blue on this list, with this flanker. Light Blue Sun has been one that I’ve been wearing here in the late spring and early summer months and I really quite enjoy it.

To me, it sort of splits the difference between the original EDT and Intense, while having a few unique touches of its own. Light Blue Sun kicks off with an ozonic sea breeze, frozen grapefruit, and a fresh ginger note.

There is a lighter rosemary and the spice isn’t as intense as the original. Citrus and a cooling sensation, that is later joined by the hint of a creamy coconut. Very smooth and slightly sweet, but an awesome choice for when it gets hot outside.

I do go back and forth between Light Blue Sun and Eau Intense, there is overlap, and each has its merits. I do like wearing this one around when I’m out and about, during the daytime. Light Blue Sun Review

Best Summer Fragrance

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Intense Eau de Parfum Spray for Men, 1.6 Ounce– I actually prefer the Intense version of Light Blue over the original. Like Light Blue, Eau Intense, starts out with a citrus opening; this time minus the bergamot note that is so prevalent in the original.

Grapefruit and mandarin this time around, but the grapefruit is ‘frozen’ and produces a wonderful chilled feeling. In that regard, it is sort of like Versace Man Eau Fraiche, but with a different structure.

Also, this one doesn’t have the same spice or aquatic note. The pepper is replaced with a great juniper and the aquatic aroma, is much closer to fresh water, than a sea note.

I think that this one is much more refreshing and fun to wear, the whole chilled vibe is great on a warm day. The sillage is strong and I get around 9 hours of use, on my skin. Light Blue Eau Intense Review

Most Popular D&G Cologne

The One By Dolce and Gabbana for Men, 3.3 Ounce
One of my personal favorite smelling fragrances ever, but it doesn’t last as long as I would hope. Maybe, it’s just me because, other reviews claim it lasts all day.

However, there are other folks with the same longevity issue, that I have with The One EDT.

It still makes the list, because it is so darn attractive. The One is super warm with an enveloping amber note, spicy cardamom and fresh ginger. Near total overlap with the EDP, just with less performance. So, just get the Eau de parfum version.

Like D&G Pour Homme, it features a smooth tobacco that gets paired with a citrus grapefruit and floral orange blossom. Fresh, spicy, warm, and then smooth…then disappears for me. The One EDT Review

the one for men review

Under the Radar Scent

D & G 21 LE FOU by Dolce & Gabbana EDT SPRAY 3.4 OZ (UNBOXED)– Not a well known fragrance from D&G, but it is a really good one. I got this as a sample on a whim and have worn it around at time during the past month or so. It is a masculine fragrance that is warm and spicy.

Update: I don’t believe that they make this one any longer, so, you’ll have to get a bottle online. I wouldn’t pay too high of a price for it. However, if it is pretty cheap, it can be worthwhile.

Starts off with warm boozy cognac, coriander, juniper, and some underlying floral notes. Not too heavy of a fragrance, but one the more interesting scents, that I tried from their Anthology Collection. I reviewed here.

rp_21-le-fou-300x300.jpg

Best K Release

Dolce & Gabbana K for Men Eau de Parfum Spray, 5 Ounce/150ml– K EDP is a very unique and interesting scent, that followed on the heels of the EDT version. I could’ve gone with Light Blue Forever, as another new release, but how many Light Blue’s do you actually need? K gives you a new direction.

Pimento, fig, and cardamom really kick things off from the start of this scent. Really, how many other scents have anything like that trio? It’s spicy and earthy with a light and juicy citrus sitting just underneath the surface, in the very beginning.

Finally, you get the woody and somewhat bitter drydown. Fig, cedar, and vetiver are the last of the notes that still hang around. It’s quite a journey.

Now, I wasn’t totally blown away by K eau de parfum, but I appreciate D&G taking some risks and not just doing another flanker of a flanker. And…it’s a good scent, going to have a more niche fanbase, but K will still have its core group of folks who will love it. K EDP Review

Another Great Light Blue

Light Blue Pour Homme Italian Love– I wasn’t that much of a fan of Light Blue Forever, which preceded and shares a lot of overlap with Italian Love.

However, I do like this 2022 release more. Personally, I’d still pick Eau Intense over this, but I enjoy the realistic grapefruit (toned down from Forever) and the bergamot citrus adding a more rounded opening.

I need to spend some time with it, since I’ve only smelled it once, at this point. But, it’s a very nice summertime cologne. Less of the grapefruit intensity and violet leaf. Which is a big plus for me.

Update 2025: Both Italian Love and Forever are discontinued. Dua has their version of the Forever formula: Sky Blue Homme. But, not Italian Love, as of this update.

Update: Coming back to this one, it’s for sure better to me than Forever, even with all of the similarities. Italian Love’s bergamot note and the ozonic aspects are great. The bergamot combo with the grapefruit makes this one. Italian Love Review

Incenso

Velvet Incenso– Incenso is a unisex release from D&G’s Velvet fragrance lineup and more of a niche scent than something for everyone. Nevertheless, Velvet Incenso is a great perfume.

It’s a blend of resinous notes: amber, labdanum, elemi, benzoin with smoky incense, vanilla, and some cashmere wood. It’s not overly smoky, but has a great sweetness and balsamic embrace that makes Incenso a cozy wear during autumn and winter.

It’s also not completely flat, as it has a slight peppery kick up top and some further spice from a few other notes. Yet, it’s tame and utterly wearable.

The incense note is the star, but the balance here is too good, for it to be solely about that.

This is going to be more expensive than the usual mainstream releases from the brand. Velvet Incenso, in particular, is becoming more difficult to find as well. Incenso Review
