The review

228 scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Bright Crystal.

Blossom Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bright Crystal's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $34 per 100ml it costs 51% less than Bright Crystal — the 2nd cheapest of 7 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Blossom Perfumery publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Versace Bright Crystal is pomegranate, yuzu and ice notes at first, peony, magnolia and lotus at its heart and amber, musk and mahogany at the end. Blossom Perfumery set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • pomegranate
  • yuzu
  • ice notes

Heart

  • peony
  • magnolia
  • lotus

Base

  • amber
  • musk
  • mahogany
Juicy pomegranate and peony, bright, clean and endlessly inoffensive.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
