Bright Visit (2006)
by Azzaro

Pepper and star fruit – love that light, fruity, watery star fruit note – but to my nose the pepper dominates the opening accord. It’s a uniquely fresh accord and its enjoyable having a summery fragrance without the ubiquitous citrus notes... I love citrus accords, but at times I think they are overdone. I’ve often wondered why the fresh, light-fruity smell of the star fruit wasn’t used in fragrances. For the middle notes they are playing games with the names: “acetyver”… okay… what does that mean? …Acetone vetiver? I smell very little vetiver but I’m happy I don’t get any acetone. In spite of the name game, the middle is very pleasant with the aquatic and green notes. It’s refreshing in a bit different way from the opening refreshment. The base is rather ordinary, but still attractive. The cedar (they are using cedar in so many fragrances, now) dominates and the base is at first rather sweet and then turns into a cedar / woody accord that develops almost an incense or smoke persona. I hadn’t heard much about this on the boards, but I think it should get more discussion… I am personally pleased that they seriously lowered the nutmeg volume in this one. Bright Visit a pretty darn good fresh summer scent.

How light, how vibrant and accomplished enough to impress a fan of rather formal, heavy and classic scents. So much more than a watered-down version of Visit. This fragrance is truly exquisiste and a genuine feast for my senses. Ozonic and watery... yes, maybe, but still so distinguished, silky, yet easygoing and even with the same spicy base found in the initial Visit-fragrance, but witha lighter edge.

I want to say this composition is confused but I happen to like it. It reminds me more of L'eau par Kenzo or L'eau D'Issey in its topnotes: citrus and marine-ish accords. Basenotes are a very, very light amber and sandalwood. The light blue colored juice suggests an air of freshness that's probably found in much better bottles of the same type of fragrance. Has decent sillage; a comment was, "your smell lingered after you left the room" and the was from someone's nose that was stuffed up.
Despite the good sillage, doesn't last long.

This take on the original Visit fragrance is a nice surprise. It does smell like the original but with less of the nutmeg, also more of a fresher, clean scent. I like both the versions, which are worth having individually. Thumbs up :)

It strongly reminds me of Clinique Happy for Men, but it seems to be lighter than that and Bright doesn't match the quality. I'll give it a miss. It's been though enough getting through my bottle of Visit with all that relentless nutmeg going on.

I liked it a lot! It's fresh but not citrusy, maybe Lavender(y) with some marine accords that reminded me of a tamed version of Azzaro Chrome. It's somehow elegant although It's casual. The longevity is nice. I don't know the original version but this one can be treated as an "original one"!
