Yellow Diamond Intense

This is my third Versace fragrance. The thing I love about Versace is all of there fragrances are completely different to one another unlike Gucci Marc Jacobs and D&G who go through stages of knocking 5,6,7 slightly different variations of the same fragrance out. Versace is therefore a very refreshing brand compared to the others. I bought this one at the airport a couple of weeks ago. I was also considering Burberry body edp but decided against that one as it has a sort of boozy b.o scent on my skin. Versace intense yellow diamond for me is refreshing and revitalising scent it is a citrus but a sophisticated citrus it has a degree of class about it. One does not simply smell like sticky citrus fruit sweets or a sherbet lemon wearing this scent. It has a floral somewhat woody sweetness about it. I get lemon, pear, sandalwood and some other complexity of notes which I cannot identify. For me this is a morning perfume and would make a very good work perfume as it is awakening refreshing and gives an inspiring get up and go feel to it. I really like this fragrance it is a beautiful classy fresh Autumn scent and I feel motivated and in control when I wear it. Most people would prefer this for spring or summer, but as I've said before when reviewing other citrus perfumes for me, citrus perfumes work best in Autumn when there's a cold bite in the air and a nippy breeze, this is when such fragrances are at their best and smell wonderfully ripe and work to their full potential. Bottle-5.5/10 Scent-7.8/10 Projection-8/10 Lasting power-6/10 This is my new go to Autumn scent. When I wish to feel fresh, motivated but also classy and in control.

Citron, White-Florals & Honey-Hay... Opens with a fruity-floral burst with citrus, honey & clean touches that reads honeysuckle & lemon blossom to my nose. These all deepen into a white floral heart that has powdery, honey, clean, fruity, & hay-like touches, all resting on a musky amber-woody base. Overall: Beautiful sweet citrus-floral scent, with above average performance for a spring-summer wearing experience. What scent would you wear for your first patio lunch in spring? It's a love for me. Enjoy! Contrast to Yellow Diamond (OG) Versace: These are different, but they're strikingly similar. YDI has a more forward white-floral accord, pungent-citrus quality and more honey-hay, while the OG is softer with a more fluffy citrus, and has a more forward shampoo quality. Both have above average performance, but YDI is slightly outperforms. Contrast to Eros Pour Femme Versace: These are different, but there are similarities with forward citrus. YDI is more citrus & white-floral forward while Eros Pour Femme has the more forward pomegranate and ambroxan notes. Roughly equivalent performance or slightly better for Yellow Diamond Intense. Update 08/07/24: Sprayed this on my hand this morning, and the longevity has improved a lot. Was still on after a workout & shower. Very citrus forward with white-florals, but I also enjoyed the osmanthus this time - a note which I've been enjoying more lately. Still a love. Update 05/14/25: I notice the pear & neroli more here than in Yellow Diamond (OG) Versace but they're quite similar. Uplifting lemon-y freshness. Each time I wear it I notice something different. Love it.

When I put this Diamond on I feel an incredible surge of energy a boost for the whole day ahead. Such an exhilarating smell; sparkling, sunny, sensual and yet refreshing! Nobody knows better female forms than Versace brand does ; its clothes as well as its perfumes are fashionable, feminine, sophisticated and sexy, though, a bit clingy sometimes. But you'll definitely revel in this scent if you love it, if not- you couldn't help, as it lasts as long as it lasts. And it worth every penny, as the wood is precious here, holy! It tingles and teases you with such a playful , green fuzziness. Nothing is opaque about this aroma, no darkness, no smokiness; it's warm, clear and clean citrusy-woody-floral composition, where freesia is shining gloriously to my great delight here. Even if the bottle is a little bit bulky, it's mesmerizing somehow, especially the stopper that looks like an UFO- the Beauty from the different dimension. Definitely, this is the Diamond for the rising star. Supernova! Superb! PS. This flanker is a great replacement of my, unfortunately, nearly empty bottle of "Wood Velvet Forest Wood" by Dsquared2; the same vibe but without pine and patchouli accords DI sounds less Unisex, and rather smooth and feminine because of the addition of a sweet pear note to it. Alberto Morillas surprises me as always. Xxx Edit: If you take away the Rose note from "My Burberry" by Burberry, you'll have the scent very reminiscent of "Diamond Intense", in my humble opinion indeed.

I ❤️ it! I my opinion this really is the intense version of the original, which I had and loved but was so very unhappy with the weak performance that it had! So about the scent: IMO you could like this even if - like me - you usually don’t really fancy a prominent citrus accord! It is beautifully fresh, and the most delightful blend of citrus and withe floral! It has one of my top favorite notes - freesia - and is making it smell airy not powdery, and since I dislike powdery scents but somehow love it when freesia is done in a way that is not powdery, I really appreciate this one (since this is rare imo)! The citron note, although it is listed only in the top notes, sticks with the flowers as well, and letting the fragrance feel like a zesty lemon meringue deliciousness with slightly sweet orange blossom drizzle and a tang of freshly cut green freesia smell on top... the musky base is being hold together by a tiny leather band and the faintest vanilla touch lingers on top... I think value and price are really good and it performs (as most perfumes with a strong citrus accord) formidable on me! ... A summer scent that can be enjoyed also during summer eves and brighter autumn days! Love!

Like a potent love potion, I fell hard for this one. Yellow Diamond Intense brings to mind the Lady of the woods every myth, legend and tale tell us about. Hauntingly beautiful, she bewitches everything in her path. White florals tempered by benzoin and woods exude an air of mystery without being dark. Seductive in its brightness and luminosity, this gem is truly is one of a kind. Sweet but not cloying...Pear, freesia and jasmine dominates but does not overpower the other notes in the composition. While having a bit of body compared to the original Yellow Diamond it maintains an airy quality throughout. Versatile as it is both warm and cold weather scent. Overall, I would describe it as milky / woody white floral. Lasts for ages with a heavy sillage. I've been bathing with compliments everytime I am wearing it. Compliments coming not just from the ladies but mostly from men. I'd say definitely worth the money spent.
