Jubilant Noir

Wow!!! 🤩 this is better than CN edp the one I formally had! A man mangnet of a perfume that I didn’t discover until this year! Ever store I went into with men? Loved and complimented CN. So I tried this because even tho it was a compliment getter? it gave me headaches!! Well I was pleasantly surprised that the white florals were there but not as incolic heavy etc no headache!!! So happy about this! Because Incsn spray it on with confidence that I can enjoy this fragrance without paying for it later!! And the price!?? Holy moly!! So for $14 I have an edp. ?? Ok!! It does NOT smell different just a tad lighter all the notes are there... absolutely love this and will be buying some back up bottles!! Just in case ... Girl mentioned below frangipani? I didn’t get that? Just the white floral coconut... I mean in reality the biggest worry or difference was between CN EDT&EDP: AND... did the new reformulation of the edt have the coconut? Because that’s why girls loved this the coconut? By the time I heard about CN it was the reformulated version, I didn’t want to risk buying it and it having NO coconut so I went with edp. It was great like I mentioned but edt or edp I would have gotten a headache! But the edp had the same important notes with coconut! To me honestly it’s the best of both!!! But it’s the edp but not as strong, like between them both. Performance appears to be the same as my edp so I’m happy!! I’m super sensitive to yellow flowers:!Ylang and frangipani as well as tiare and monoi instant headaches for the last two? But for me? I’m getting coconut and very very light gardenia the peony break it up and gives a slightly ethereal airy beach vibe ... but that’s me! if it had frangipani it would be like getting slapped in the face with my sensitivitiee and I’m not getting anything yellow! I’m a boujie gal so it’s nice to save money on some perfumes I like but don’t necessarily love? This has always been a big like... so it’s nice to grab it at this price!! So I can spend my coins on the more expensive stuff I love...it truly is a beach girls just out of the shower clean girl scent

I bought this for a coworker who is obsessed with Versace Crystal Noir and she can't help getting compliments on this everywhere she goes. She is quite an oversprayer though which results in leaving a verrrry long lasting trail in the hallways to the point that it helps me know if she's arrived yet to work or not lol. Despite this I personally cannot stop loving it. It's so sexy and comforting at the same time. It isn't heavy or cloying. It's just so pleasant and deep. The cardamom is the prominent note in it I'd say which gets mellowed down with the creamy sandalwood in the base. Edit: alright I didn't pay attention, I bought the Versencia (older version) of this for my friend. But people say they're not different. I guess the new bottles and names Alhambra has came out with are due to the names being too close to the original perfume they've duped.

I have not smelled the original, so this review is based solely on Jubilant Noir as it’s own fragrance and not as a dupe for Crystal Noir. I do like it. It’s long lasting ( 6-8 hours on skin) and I can tell you it’s heavy on the cardamom, ginger and pepper. I pick up no coconut and barely any floral. I find it to be a sexy scent and probably more of a date night perfume. That being said, I am wearing it around the house today as i am home recovering from eye surgery. It’s been macerating for a few months and it is definitely more potent today than it was when I first tried it. I think I would repurchase if it is still available at a good price, if not, I would buy the OG because it’s not that much more.

I have both the original Crystal Noir and this dupe and I must say they are almost identical. If you smell them up close to compare you might find a slight difference, although I've had crystal noir for a while now and I just opened Jubilant, so it didn't have time to macerate. From a distance you won't be able to tell though, they are identical. Great dupe and only for €10. I'm sure after maceration it'll get even better.

I like this a lot. I have the OG Crystal Noir EDT, and I like that so much that I bought this one. Although it is not 1:1, it is very close. It smells lighter than the original, but to my surprise, it also smells a lot like Versace Versense. I love Versense, and I am glad Jubilant Noir is a mix of Crystal Noir and Versense to my nose. Lol.
