Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.
