Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bright Crystal Parfum
This flanker of Bright Crystal is a divisive one. Fans of the original will appreciate the enhanced longevity and modern twist, but others find it too generic or burdened by synthetic notes. Approach with curiosity rather than blind faith.

Our Verdict - 228 Bright Crystal EDP
A decent dupe of Versace Bright Crystal, matching the pomegranate-peony-musk skeleton, though the original's icy, crystalline clarity comes across a touch softer and sweeter here.
