Yellow Diamond by Versace

I absolutely love it; it smells like pure spring.

After two hours, I smell honey locust; am I the only one? It’s a soft, clean fragrance with a slight sweet touch but not cloying. Honestly… great for the office or places where you’ll be surrounded by lots of people.

Smells like yellow flowers, refreshing and simple. I don’t think it’s very youthful; the longevity and sillage are average. Did they sell me a fake? I love the bottle.

One of my favorite perfumes for its softness and tenderness. I had read that neroli is typical of children’s colognes, but here it’s more sophisticated and woody. Perfumes don’t usually last long on my skin, however, the other day after a three-hour trip, I was immediately complimented upon arriving and greeting people, which is great for an EDT.

I admire this fragrance because it has something conceptual that makes it ethereal; if the color yellow had a smell, it would be this. Although I also imagine sky blue because of how clean it results. Reviews have already listed the notes, highlighting the mimosa. I think the great effect lies in the combination of mimosa with lotus and freesia: it’s extremely revitalizing, full of harmony and beauty like a ray of spring sun. One of the notes I love seems like an old dark syrup, from an old apothecary or pharmacy, similar to Peru Balsam. That dark, syrupy note is sweet and bitter, balancing the aroma by removing all heaviness and obviousness, making it interesting. This impression is much more noticeable in Mimosa & Coriander by Adolfo Domínguez. I’d like to know what note it is, I suppose it’s the guaiac; it appears occasionally during the dry-down, shining in the final phase like a drop of resin in the sun. Absolutely beautiful, a treasure to keep. Christine Nagel really shined with this great composition, certainly the best in the Versace Crystals collection.

I tested it on blotter and on my skin, and for some reason—maybe the tester was bad—it smelled like fish. I really can’t explain it and would never buy it; there are better fresh options out there.

I tried it with a 5 ml sample and was disappointed: no longevity or personality on my skin. It’s barely like a cologne, volatile and fleeting.

This is my mom’s signature scent, and I adore it; it brings back lovely memories. It smells like sweet lemon with the warmth of woods. I’m not sure if I detect lemon and pear plus an unrecognizable flower (probably mimosa), but in the dry down, there are delicate, cozy woods. I love it!

An ode to mimosa, enchanting! For many years it was my signature scent, and today it remains one of my summer favorites. I find it very clean and luminous, with a bright musk. It’s feminine, clean, fresh, yet with a chic touch. My favorite note is the mimosa: it smells like a fresh, elegant woman just out of the shower, like royalty strolling through the gardens of her castle. It’s an all-rounder perfume, and I love it, 10/10 and more.

My mom uses it and it’s her favorite. I love it because it projects strongly on clothes and skin, lasting all day without being annoying. It’s a very modest and elegant fragrance, floral with musk and a little citrus. It can be worn day or night.

I don’t see this as a summer fragrance, but rather for spring. On very hot days, it feels too intense and sweet.

For me, this Yellow Diamond is pleasant for spring-summer, but after receiving it as a gift, it will just sit in my collection without making much of an impression. It has that typical citrus-floral-musk pyramid. While others identify the heart as mimosa, my nose perceives the floral heart as blurred; I detect lots of freesia, aquatic water lily, citrus, and a musk base. I wouldn’t categorize it as mimosa because that’s not what stands out. The scent is generic, like shampoo or body cream: it’s pleasant, refreshing, and clean, but lacks an interesting depth. I’d use it for working out, going to work, or shopping in informal daytime situations. It has moderate sillage and lasts 5-6 hours. While I like other fragrances with this composition, Yellow Diamond hasn’t won my heart and I wouldn’t repurchase it. Scent 5.5/10, Longevity 5.5/10, Sillage 7/10, Value 6/10, Versatility 5.5/10, Packaging 8/10. Would I buy again? No.

Yellow Diamond is a nice perfume where mimosa is the star. The yellow floral vibe is accompanied by the sweetness of pears and the freshness of neroli and lemons. I also sense a bit of lotus, making it ideal for hot, humid summers. It doesn’t have much projection, it’s office-appropriate, but it does last quite a while (12 hours on my skin). It’s the most sparkling Versace diamond I’ve tried, and although it doesn’t smell natural or original, I think it’s a pleasant all-rounder for women to wear when it’s hot. Pleasant 7/10, Interesting 3/10, Versatile 7/10, Original 4/10.

Light, fresh, and sweet aroma, I love it! I bought it a bit blindly hoping I wouldn’t regret it, and definitely I didn’t. I use it during the day in spring and summer, but honestly, I’ve used it on almost every occasion, climate, and season.

I’m someone who avoids citrus perfumes, not because I dislike the smell, but because I feel they no longer suit me; I liked them more when I was a teenager. But the heat in my city was infamous for the past few months, so I ended up buying this fragrance. I’ve really liked it. I feel that, without actually resembling it, it follows the same line as Eros Pour Femme EDT: citrus, floral, with a touch of sweetness. It’s wearable and fresh, I think it’s one of those that couldn’t offend or overwhelm anyone. The opening is very fruity, and then the flowers and woods blend into a very pleasant harmony. It has low sillage, it’s more for personal enjoyment, and lasts about 4 hours. It’s one of my favorites for going to the gym.
