REVIEW: VERSACE - YELLOW DIAMOND

In my last post I wrote about Paco Rabanne - '1 Million', well on the same day I also treated myself to Versace - 'Yellow Diamond'. I've never bought a women's fragrance before, most that I have smelled have been too sweet and 'girly' for my liking, but recently I came across 'Yellow Diamond' and fell in love with it.

It has of course a feminine scent to it, but in a very fresh, sunny way.. not just the typical 'flowery' smells that are usually associated with female fragrances. Again I was wary of buying it (I'm so indecisive about purchases such as fragrance as it's a daily thing which I need to love enough to wear it everyday) but now I am so happy that I did buy it.

"Yellow Diamond is crafted as a pure, transparent and airy floral fragrance, sparkling and intense as the yellow color, while being luxurious and feminine like a diamond. Its composition opens with luminous freshness of lemon, bergamot, neroli and pear sorbet. The heart features airy orange blossom, freesia, mimosa and water lily. The base is made of amber, precious musk and guaiac wood."

As you all know I am quite an androgynous guy, some days I'm more feminine and some days I'm more masculine.. my outfits and the way I style my hair play a huge role in this and now so can what fragrance I am wearing. I now have a very masculine fragrance in '1 Million' for nights out, dVb will always be part of my collection and 'Yellow Diamond' will be the perfect fragrance to compliment my androgynous days.

I absolutely love the packaging and the bottle! The box it came in was a bright citrus yellow with a gold Baroque pattern, so very Versace darhling! The bottle is a gorgeous shape, with its sharp cut lines and facets just like a exquisite gems tone. The top is a large bright yellow (although the color has been drained from this photo unfortunately) crystal which matches the color of the liquid sunshine inside, in the centre of the crystal is the Versace medusa logo in gold.. all together it is a very well designed bottle that would look great on any dressing table.

I bought it from Boots, 30ml on sale for £20.99.. also included in the box is a 50ml perfumed body lotion which I think is a nice extra. I recommend this fragrance and especially at this price it's a perfect little treat for yourself or a loved one.

Get Smart

Topman is definitely my store of choice as I'm sure it is for many men, you can't walk down a street or into a club without seeing someone wearing a Topman t-shirt, jeans, shirts ect. 

Recently this smart polo shirt has been very popular, as seen by the sales of them. These tops all sold out within days of being released online and in store, the white one with black trim sold out within 3 days, I was lucky to get one in my size. They have been released again and Topman have introduced new colors (red, yellow and gray) to the black, white and blue they originally released. So go get one before they all sell out again!

These are the 3 new colors available, they cost £18 and are available here.
