Versace Pour Femme Dylan Purple, is available in both a 50ml, $155, and 100ml $199.
What’s in it?
Something is intriguing about the blend of pear and sun-ripened orange in a fragrance. It’s citrusy and summery but warm and wintery. Add the vibrancy of bergamot and cedarwood with a rush of man-made molecules, including Pomarosa, Mahonial, Ambroxan, Belambre and Sylkolide, giving off the aroma of a subtle freesia, apricot, and a musky plum, and you have a fragrance that is hot demand globally.
“Fresh, fruity and addictive, a tribute to the iced delights of Italy and its iconic citrus. The floral heart is the representation of a hypnotic sunset by the water.”
Why do we like it?
This scent is decadent thanks to its Italian heritage, the bottle a bold purple fit for royalty, it’s every bit a nod to summer, and a fresh take on what I think will become a classic fruity floral. Made with a range of warming and crisp ingredients, I think it’s guaranteed to become your new go-to that you’ll want to smell repeatedly.
Versace Dylan Turquoise, EDT 100ml, $189.
Summer - in one word, is how we would describe the sister scent in the Dylan family. Created as an ode to the Versace woman's sensuality, the brand calls this fragrance a luminous floral; we call it a zesty, woody floral - citrus scent fans, you will be swooning. That is all due to the juicy aroma of Primofiore lemon, Italian mandarin, pink peppercorn, and cassis. Followed by the scent of white spring flowers, jasmine, and freesia spiked with tropical guava. But the amber, clear and cedarwood blended with white musk gives it a sensual aroma reminiscent of summer nights on the Italian coast - sigh.
Another designer expression of loving our true selves.
