Last week I received a bottle of the new Versace Dylan Purple perfume which I was kindly gifted in return of my honest review.

Love the packaging: the magenta box and raised gold accents, with the bottle inside matching the colour scheme perfectly. The heavy glass bottle features the classic Versace amphora shape with a contrasting gold mirrored cap, which is topped with the fragrance name engraved into it. The top of the bottle, also with the mirrored gold finish, features the Versace name on it in raised form, the letters playfully arranged like on the box. On both cap and bottle, the brand's face logo is added in 3D form. 

The perfume bottle is well protected with cardboard padding inside the box, which is sealed in translucent cellophane. 

Versace Dylan Purple opens with fruity and juicy warm citrus notes provided by Orange, Bergamot and Pear.

It quickly turns into a floral harmony comprised of Freesia and Mahonial, with a touch of sweetness added by the Pomarosa note, which is reminiscent of crisp fruit and fresh roses. 

It finally settles into a warm, woody base thanks to Belambre, Iso Super E and Cedarwood. 

The vegan formula replaces Ambergris with Ambrofix, which together with Silkolide add a soft musk tone. The sweetness of the top and middle notes remains throughout as Silkolide keeps it fruity.

Versace Dylan Purple is a very long lasting fragrance (I could still smell the perfume on my clothes the next day even when I only applied 2 sprays on my wrist) that could be classified as a skin scent once it has dried down thanks to what I would call a "modern musk" base, which is comprised of soft and creamy woods with a sweet edge.

As I love wearing sweet fragrances I will continue to use Versace Dylan Purple. I also enjoyed learning about the synthetic notes in this perfume.

The only things to note were that the pump sprayed a bit too much perfume, at least the first couple of times I used it. Also I found it a bit hard to hold when applying due to the shape of the bottle which may take a bit of time to get used to.

Overall, a beautiful feminine and youthful fragrance that I really enjoy and will continue to use through spring and summer. 

If you like sweet, sharp fruity scents with a creamy base that last all day then Versace Dylan Purple is definitely for you! 

Find Versace Dylan Purple at Superdrug, Selfridges and Escentual.
