Crystal Emerald

At first sniff, it seemed banal and uninteresting, a simple mix of sweet-and-fresh, even,snobbishly speaking, slightly cheap. But then I explored it further and fell in love. The dry-down is very high quality, never turning vague or muddled, but lingering and unfolding into distinct notes. You can feel sweet peach, tart berries, a light and delicate abstract floral, and sensual musk. This balance of sweet, fresh, tart, and musky leaves an incredibly pleasant impression. You just breathe it in and enjoy! And the sillage is stunning 😍 What I love is that it’s both sweet and fresh at the same time, clean yet sensually alluring. It remains, nonetheless, simple in its composition, but I think that simplicity is the result of a lot of work by the perfumer. There are so many nuanced elements, yet they’re so perfectly balanced that they feel like a single, harmonious whole. It includes the now-trendy peaches, showing it was crafted with contemporary tastes in mind, where sweetness is often mixed with molecular notes. Here, instead of molecularity, there’s freshness and airiness reminiscent of perfumes from the late ’90s to early 2000s, creating a fascinating sense of temporal blending. When I first encountered it, I tested many niche perfumes in the store, and the sales assistant suggested I try Emerald. Snobbishly, I thought, “Why should I even try another Versace Crystal-type fragrance? What nonsense.” But in the end, nothing expensive or “pretentious” captivated me like this one. This “simpleton” completely won over my nose, dismissing any silly rational arguments about its “simplicity” or “cheapness.”

Mmm... this one is a bit of a chameleon. The first time I tried it, I turned my nose up almost immediately. It felt far too soapy and clean, and I just couldn't connect with it. Then I wore it again... and completely changed my mind. Suddenly it was this beautiful, sparkling peach with an almost fizzy quality, like fresh laundry drying in the sunshine on a bed of soft musk and delicate florals. I loved it so much that it went straight onto my wish list. Now, this is my third time wearing it, and on a sticky summer day here in the UK, it's incredibly refreshing. That said, the incense is definitely the wildcard. It's quite polarising, and I completely agree with someone who described it as "summer goth." It somehow manages to feel fresh, airy, and just a little mysterious all at once. I really do like this fragrance, but I still haven't committed to a full bottle. I probably will eventually though, if only because I'm a redhead with a weakness for beautiful teal and emerald green bottles. Sometimes the bottle is half the temptation. This definitely isn't a safe blind buy. I'd recommend sampling it first, because it seems to wear very differently depending on the day, the weather, and possibly even my mood. Fiancé's reaction genuinely surprised me. He gave it a 10 out of 10 and told me he could smell me from upstairs. He said it left an incredibly sweet, floral scent cloud behind me, which made me laugh because he's normally all about vanillas and sugary gourmands. If he loves a fresh floral, you know it's doing something right. 🌼

This fragrance took me back to my childhood. While looking at perfumes in the store, I immediately wanted to try this one because the bottle was in my favorite color. I had no idea about the notes or what kind of scent it would be. Because of the color, I thought it would be a green, botanical fragrance, but I was wrong. I’m actually glad I was. In the opening, I noticed a fresh scent with a light touch of spices, but this freshness is not harsh enough to overwhelm your nose and blends naturally into the composition. After a while, a powdery and delicate rose scent started to emerge. A light fruity sweetness that made me think of sorbet accompanied this rose. Maybe some of you remember those scented baby dolls. They used to smell powdery and lightly sweet. The rose was noticeable, but it didn’t smell like rose Turkish delight. As it started to dry down, it reminded me of those scented baby dolls I used to have as a child. The powderiness isn’t heavy, the rose isn’t dominant, and the fruity feeling doesn’t feel too strong. It’s quite balanced and enjoyable for everyday use. I fell in love with both the bottle and the scent. For me, it stands out from other designer perfumes because it feels unique and delicate. It’s suitable for every season, but summer might be the perfect time for it. On my skin, the longevity was around 6 hours.

Now that I’ve had this for a month or so, and haven’t gotten tired of it, I have to write down how much I love this scent. I agree with most previous reviews that indeed, this is a clean scent—but with a twist! At the opening, I do smell a bit of the pink pepper, but that dissipates within the first hour or so. The bergamot, jasmine and raspberry are strong there and linger for hours. It does remind me of a tangy, citrusy sorbet! I must say that my favourite note is the rosebud: it’s loooovely and very rose-watery. The dry-down on my skin is musky and sweet, imagine a great body lotion. On my clothes, the tangy citrus-rose scents linger on for days. The scent behaves very differently on clothes vs. my skin, which I like. Feels like this perfume has two personalities, so it’s quite versatile. For many, it could be a bit hard to pin down what this scent is: is it floral, aquatic, musky-rose..? Personally, I like that. TL;DR: Imagine a tangy citrus-rose sorbet enjoyed seaside or poolside, fresh out of the shower, wrapped in clean robes with moisturized skin.

Versace Emerald layered with Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume is absolutely stunning. The fresh, sparkling citrus and green notes of Emerald blend beautifully with the clean, musky ambroxan of Not a Perfume, creating a scent that is both sophisticated and effortlessly elegant. The result is a fragrance that feels bright, airy, and luxurious, with incredible longevity and a soft skin-like warmth that draws compliments all day long. If you love fragrances that smell fresh, modern, and uniquely captivating, this combination is pure magic. Second review: I was amazed at how perfectly Versace Emerald and Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume complement each other. Emerald adds a vibrant, jewel-like freshness, while Not a Perfume enhances it with a smooth, clean musk that makes the scent feel more refined and long-lasting. Together, they create a chic and unforgettable fragrance that smells expensive, fresh, and incredibly feminine. This layering combination has quickly become one of my all-time favorites.

I wasn't expecting much from this fragrance and I'm surprised by how much I like it. I don't have many clean fresh fragrances in my collection. So many of them remind me of air freshener, or are too screechy or they have too much ambroxan in the base or they are lovely (Jeanne Lanvin) but disappear too fast especially in hot weather. This fragrance is fresh and clean but it's also creamy so there is no screechiness and no air freshener vibe. As it dries down I'm faintly reminded of Forever and Ever by Dior but with the florals dialled down and the creaminess amped up. It also has impressive longevity and sillage. I'm not sure that the bottle suits the scent as I don't get any green notes from this but who cares? It's a lovely fragrance and one that I will definitely be adding to my collection before the summer. It will be a great everyday summer scent for the office.

I just purchased this as a blind buy, and I'm so glad that I did! I was afraid I wouldn't like it, based on the notes, particularly the peach & raspberries, but I don't get either of those at all! As soon as I sprayed it on my wrist, I had the distinct feeling that I'd worn it before, and then it hit me: Burberry Weekend (1997) and Lutèce by Dana. I used to own both when I was much younger, and I loved them both. I sprayed only one spray at around 5pm, when the UPS guy dropped off my package from Ulta, and I can still smell it more than 8 hrs later. I can't stop smelling my wrist! I only bought the travel size, and as soon as it's done, I'll have to buy the large size, I love it that much. Edit: I don't know why, but I get a strong almond note in this, and I love it that much more. I've been wearing it every other day.

I LOVE this perfume! It has quickly become my signature scent, I've been through bottles of it. I tested it randomly in store and it's very rare for me to completely fall in love with a perfume but I really did. It doesn't have any of the notes I normally go for (I go crazy for anything vanilla/sandalwood - JHAG Sunny Side Up would be my perfect scent, if only it lasted...) but for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about it and had to buy it. My skin destroys perfume but for some reason this is an absolute beast on me, a few sprays and it lasts all day. I had someone in the post office ask me to write it down for them, even though I had gone nose blind to it. It's a clean, soapy, expense shampoo scent that is incredibly addictive.

Kullanabilmek için yaşadığım coğrafyada İlkbahar'ın gelmesini bekledim. Çok beğendim! ancak 30+ yaş üstüne hitap eden bir koku. Ben en çok gül, gül, taze gül, alttan biraz da tütsü alıyorum. Açılışı da apayrı güzel. Ferah, şampuanlı ve meyveli. 20 yaş gibi açılıp 40 yaş olarak bitiriyor! 44 yaşındayım ve belki de bu aralar 2000 başlarındaki koku anılarıma taktım kafayı. O nedenle çooook beğendim! Ve içindeki temiz notalara karşılık kalıcılığı harika. Umarım formülüyle oynamazlar ve biz yine bir kaç sene sonra burada destan anlatırken kendimizi bulmayız. :/ (ah eski formül Emerald, genç bireyler, siz hatırlamazsınız sadece bir fıs sıkardık...ahahaha) Edit: Dayandığı gül tabanı bana biraz f.K A La Rose'u da hatırlatıyor.

This is Versace The Dreamer minus the quick artificial opening that I endure because I love it so much. Also, something is amped up here. I don't get any raspberry. As far as peach, perhaps the tang of peach skin stripped of any sweetness. The initial "cooling" upon first spraying is there throughout, but mellows and blends as the duet of the pink pepper and the green (slight) floral come forward. I think it's the cooling part that's maybe from something minty or juniper-y is what's making some reviewers say it's masculine. But, it's not harsh or woody in anyway. This stands out from everything coming out in the shops, I wish they would have put it in a neutral bottle like The Dreamer so more people would try it.

When I first sniffed this in Sephora, it instantly smelled familiar to me. I got powdery clean jasmine, and something else that is spicy. It definitely read as a bit mature. I think it smells a bit like the old Cover Girl green powder compact (Moisture Wear) if you’re old enough to remember that. I bought it because it was nostalgic and I like powdery jasmine. This one is clean but spicy at the same time, which I love. It finally hit me today that it smells incredibly similar to Bvlgari Voile de Jasmin, which I loved. I see no resemblance to literally any of the other fragrances mentioned here. The lasting power is amazing, I can still smell it after 12 hours. This is a good everyday perfume for me.

First impression: I actually liked this more than I expected. The opening has a soft citrus touch (bergamot) with a hint of sweetness, very fresh and pleasant. On my skin it quickly becomes a clean, musky, slightly powdery scent with a delicate rosy nuance. The rose feels very light, not watery or aquatic, but gently powdery and a little soapy, giving that “clean skin” feeling. It reminds me of high-end baby products: soft, comforting and elegant. Projection is discreet and it stays quite close to the skin, very much a skin scent. It gives me a similar vibe to Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc Blanc, clean, soft and quietly beautiful. Very easy to wear all year round. Office safe.

The notes: bergamot (from Calabria thank you very much), juicy/velvety peach, pink peppercorn, jasmine, and luscious raspberry sorbet. Does it smell like any of that? Nope. What does it smell like? A big, white bar of luxe bath soap. It's fresh, it's creamy, it's sudsy. It's not trying too hard. This is a perfect scent for the summer. I walked around Palm Springs, CA today in 105-degree heat and I still smelled clean. After showering, I could still easily smell this on my skin. Living in the California desert, I will get plenty of use out of this simple, squeaky-clean perfume. Where I live, this will work anytime, anyplace. I love it.

After contemplating this for some months I got it! Yes it's a clean scent. However, it is a type of freshie that doesn't feel too young/immature/teenage to me. I don't get any pepper in the citrus opening (does anybody?), but fresh sorbet notes lingers for some time. I love jasmine, and jasmine notes in this type of blend (aquatic-fruity forward, instead of white floral) is refreshing. I would say the raspberry and rosebud note combo in this reminds me of wild strawberry, like sweet + sour type of note. For a clean designer scent, the performance is pretty good. The drydown is comforting musky blend, I don't get a lot of tonka bean.

There’s something addictive about this scent that makes me keep smelling my wrists. A few people have compared it to Dove soap... I get that. It definitely has a creamy, soapy vibe; however, for me it smells more the the original bars of Caress soap... maybe because of the peach note. 🤔 That’s nostalgic for me because that’s what my mom always had in the house when I was a teenager. This is definitely a clean girl fragrance, but I feel men could pull it off, as well. The incense in the dry down gives it a little air of mystery, so it’s not straight up soap. I’ll be reaching for this a lot this spring and summer.

I am happy that people are sleeping on this scent. It came out in the fall and it’s a scent one would except to launch in the summer or springtime. It’s a unique phenomenal scent that transforms and is intoxicating. It makes me feel like a mermaid. It’s spa like, in a refined exotic way. I haven’t smelled anything like it, and I’m tired of smelling the same sweet, sugary, and vanilla scent profiles. It’s been a long time that a perfume was able to impress me. The longevity and scent trail is superb. Another unique quality fresh perfumes lack. I loved it from the beginning to the dry down.

I find Crystal Emerald bright and sweet. I don't find it reminds me of soap, but I can see where someone might think that if they didn't look too deep. This is, however, much richer than that. First spray sweeps musky, and underneath that is all the fruits and florals. I don't get specific rose or sorbet or pepper or even bergamot...maybe some jasmine, but I credit that note because of adding so much to the sweetness of the whole. I find it only a touch watery, and not at all incensey. This seems to last a long, long time. This is the only Crystal offering I love and would buy.

Sparkling, fresh, clean, stunning! On first spray I get a burst of fruitiness that feels so clean and inviting. Then it dries down to a musky incense floral which is just as beautiful. It’s a clean fresh fragrance that feels a bit different. The longevity is immense and I feel super clean all day. Definitely a spring and summer fragrance, feels too bright and fresh for the colder months. This is my new casual daytime scent in spring and summer - running errands, going to the office, heading to the gym - crystal emerald is my gal

I guess this is what I see as a "salty" floral. And I definitely think it smells like a soap bar, but in the best way. When I smell a soap bar like this I'm likely to buy it and leave it in my underwear drawer. 😂💗👍 It's not really relating to the notes shown, for me, I'm getting a green aquatic soapy floral. 🎋🌿💦☔ This is my kind of springtime floral. The more I smell it, the more I love it. For lovers of Omnia Crystalline and/or Chloé EDP. Seriously, peony or lilac are not listed in the notes at all? Really though... !

I was searching for a soap scent to compliment my husband’s Creed - Spring Mountain Water and this was exactly it. It starts off very juicy and fresh-out-shower and then you start to get the bergamot and jasmine as it dries. Once dried down, the musk and floral scents are perfectly balanced and create this very fresh and clean fragrance. I do think for the scent profile itself, it is a little overpriced, but for every day wear, it’s absolutely stunning. And I feel it’s a good transitional scent from day to evening
