Bright Crystal was launched by Versace in 2006 and composed by Alberto Morillas. The house says it was inspired by its high jewelry and by Donatella Versace’s favorite flowers: pomegranate and icy yuzu open onto peony, magnolia and lotus, before a base of musk, vegetal amber and mahogany.

The house describes an opening of juicy pomegranate seeds and yuzu with an icy freshness, a heart where magnolia, peony and lotus flower bring voluptuousness and transparency, and a base of vegetal amber that signs a delicately sensual finish.

It adds musk and mahogany, which it highlights in its French description. Osmoz places pomegranate, a frosted accord and yuzu in the opening, magnolia, peony and lotus in the heart, and musk, vegetal amber and mahogany in the base.

The top therefore brings together yuzu and pomegranate, the heart peony, magnolia and lotus, the base musk, mahogany and amber. The frosted accord, which the house names at the top, remains described in prose.

What the label declares

The ingredient list relayed in Europe has twelve entries. After denatured alcohol, fragrance and water come the regulated allergens hydroxycitronellal, linalool, citronellol and limonene, and three UV filters, including ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate.

Two colorants, red CI 17200 and yellow CI 15985, close the list. The American lists also declare butylphenyl methylpropional and lyral, two allergens now banned in the European Union.

What stays out

Sea water, often cited at the top in place of the frosted accord, does not appear in the house’s description and is not retained. Raspberry belongs to Bright Crystal Absolu, not to the 2006 eau de toilette.
