Crystal Noir

After hating it for years due to its syrupy tanning oil scent, I started craving its tanning lotion woody character as I grew older. I caved in and bought it 2 yrs ago while still living in the States. I recall the original formulation to be less musky sour at the drydown and more decadent, so the peony note must have been tweaked a bit cuz the later drydown is leaning towards the sour ambroxan side and I ain't crazy about that but I adore this scent so I don't care. It's a bit drier tho than what it used to be when I hated it haha. Other than that I adore how creamy woody it is like pencil shavings done right, with its unique tanning lotion vibe. My hate for the dusty stale pencil shavings effect started with Sensuous Nude which has both pink and black pepper and coconut and the coconut acts as an ozonic factor amplifying the dusty peppery effect. So Crystal Noir was the perfume that made me love a slight dusty pencil shavings rewarding my patience with a gorgeous milky sandalwood. As I've said for TF Soleil Blank, the cardamom-coconut pairing does wonders emulating a sweet tanning oil scent. It's not the Carroten tanning oil scent of Happy Spirit by Chopard with the raspberry honeysuckle amber blend or the petitgrain lavender mandarin aquatic tanning lotion scent of Libre and it's not the masculine cardamom lavender tanning lotion scent of Korres Vetiver Root, but it is a unique tanning lotion woody scent in its own league. All of the above scents are iconic to me as much as this one. Crystal Noir Edp is a sister to Montana 80 and I had a love hate relationship with it back in my early 20s, it made me nauseous and had to kiss it goodbye. Crystal Noir is the best rep of the woody league. It has the signature sawdust pencil shavings sandalwood scent that becomes creamy and lactonic as it should be amplified by the gardenia and coconut, paired with the tanning lotion impression. It is slightly dusty by the peppery cardamom and black pepper influence in the opening only, and I'll type here what I said for its distant cousin Completely Santal by The Dua for Santal Complet also featuring coconut, amber, black pepper and sandalwood but it's not like tanning lotion and it's overly dusty. I've realized that much of the dusty or stale elements in sandalwood dominant scents like Estee Lauder Sensuous Nude or Police Rich Girl (a different scent profile) and in Crystal Noir, stem from the pink pepper (mainly) or sometimes black pepper and dry amber pairing rather than the sandalwood itself even though the black pepper and cedar combo for instance in 007 Bond for women isn't dusty at all, so the sandalwood definitely contributes to the dusty effect but peppery accords are the culprit. Just like vetiver can be dusty (or smoky or more creamy and smooth) and influencing the sour unripe fig in scents like KKW Rare Fig to smell dusty woody too. Luckily here the peppery dusty effect doesn't dominate the scent. The lumber yard woody sandalwood is the queen of Crystal Noir EDP. Truly a masterpiece. I want to try the Noir Parfum with the black currant and lactonic caramel orchid. Caramel, vanilla, orchid paired together usually create a marzipan effect with or without coconut as in Vanilla Touch La Rive. Noir Parfum features pink pepper which I'm not crazy about and Akigalawood which has a patch like fresh spice to it as it does in Khamrah.

I blind bought a 90 ml 2020 EDP version second-hand. It was not cheap. I couldn't wait to smell this beauty. Imagine my horror when all I could smell was heavy, heavy sandalwood. Quality sandalwood but still. Not what I expected, and I did not like it whatsoever. So I tucked it away for an entire year and re-tried it tonight: Magic. Alchemy has occurred because Crystal Noir is deliciously good. I now smell the spice, the florals, the sultry loveliness that is this perfume. I both do and do not understand the skanky and/or femme-fatal vibe that is attributed to this fragrance. Having blind bought this and then tried it myself, I realized that I have smelled this on other women and just didn't know it. This perfume - especially if over sprayed and it would not take much at all! - is loud. And loudness is typically associated with aggressive, the sort of girl who flaunts herself: 'I want you to look, take a long, hard steamy gawk.' However, the scent itself is a beautiful spicy, deep, floral with sandalwood and amber. (I do not register coconut; not sure if I'm sad or not.) I think that the quality of this fragrance is such that a spray or two goes a loooong way. Anymore than that and your fragrance is going to be shouting for miles, encroaching on people's airspace and turning heads for good and bad, and that is where Crystal Noir may get her reputation - she's not inherently callous, she is, however, extremely extroverted. Anyone that overdoes Crystal Noir runs the risk of being perceived as pushy/aggressive/man-eater blah blah, etc. because it looks as if you want to be the loudest, most noticeable femme-fatale in the room (and maybe you do! but have mercy on the rest of us). Personally, I love her! I want to marry her! I love that I have finally found a perfume that is delicious and stays. You don't have to spray away all of your (literally) precious mls just hoping for some sillage and that you'll still be able to smell your own perfume an hour from now. I'm delighted I gave her a second try. EDIT: I was wrong, the coconut is very much present in the late drydown and it's so good. A creamy coconut that melds with the musk and it lingers for ever. I truly love this fragrance.

I absolutely adore this fragrance. I only recently bit the bullet after months of testing and analysing the difference of scent journey with the edp, EDT and the recently released parfum. I adore absolutely every single version of this fragrance, but the edp continued to steal my heart. I researched the history, the associations, the individual notes of this perfume and I am just head over heels. it is sexy, creamy, mysterious.. the smell resonates with my favourite colours such as deep purples, dark magentas, lilacs and black. I feel confident, uplifted, witchy, feminine and so ME when I wear this fragrance. as an alternative woman, as well as a Scorpio woman, it's hard to find designer frags which can really capture the essence of feeling othered but still wanting to feel feminine and playful. the longevity and sillage of this for me is absolutely mind-blowing. the first time I skin tested this in a store, I could smell remnants of CN on my wrist for over 72 hours afterward. as a chronic over sprayer of most fragrances, I don't feel it's necessary with this one and I hope it lasts me as long as possible. I'm fairly new to my fragrance journey and as I'm only 25, I didn't experience the first formulation of CN so can't speak on the lack of coconut note in recent formulations - however the gardenia and sandalwood reflect a significant creamy asset to this fragrance either way. could easily be headache inducing for some if over sprayed, and definitely isn't suitable for those who enjoy fresher and lighter scents. there is a deepness to this fragrance which could be received as "heavy" and "dark".. but that's exactly what I adore about it. suitable for all year round in my opinion, depending on how much and where you apply. a new signature fragrance for me 100%.

A review from a guy. This stuff is intoxicating and my favorite woman's fragrance ever. There, I could stop right now but let me elaborate a little bit. Crystal noir is above all goddamn sensual, it's smooth, it's intimate and it feels like a modern perfume while avoiding all the heavy stuff that instantly makes a girl 20 years older scent-wise. That creamy but upscale coconut vibe on top of the sandalwood is to die for. My first experience with this fragrance was when taking a flight from Delhi to Coimbatore and this exotic beautiful flight attendant was running up and down the plane to assist people with their peanuts (hehe). I was reading a book during the flight but every time she passed by I was like ... daaaaammmn, this smells so good. Normally I don't do chitchat with flight attendants as I find that really cheesy but my curiosity was killing me. So I went up to air hostess and 5 mins later I got the name of the fragrance and paid her a compliment on having good taste. I had far worse flight experiences. Anyway, back in Europe it's needless to say that I went to the first duty free shop and bought a nice bottle (EDP) of Crystal Noir for my girlfriend.Happy to report it's even more beautiful on my girlfriend! I'm not familiar with female fragrances but I've never smelled it before so to my nose it was quite unique. To be honest, I even want to wear this myself, it's that good. Ladies, get this. Or maybe not because strangers will run you down in the street asking weird questions. 9/10

with the very first spritz, grains of black pepper and sharp ginger strike sparks upon your skin. this opening is misty, distant, and proud like a match suddenly struck in the dark. soon, the waves settle, and the fragrance sinks into a deep silence. warm, dark coconut milk poured over black silk intertwines with the luxurious, soapy purity of snow-white gardenia petals. your skin falls into the creamy slumber of a dark flower. as hours fade, only the warm memory of the night remains. amber and woody notes melt with your skin’s own warmth, turning into a powdery, shadowy, and mesmerizing whisper. it is like the final echo of a finished song lingering in the room. a night poem written with black spices by a white flower washed in the moonlight. i think the woman who uses this perfume is gliding like a riddle through the dim room in the folds of her black silk dress, who carries the night upon her skin leaves behind an unforgettable poem of white flowers washed in moonlight and mystic spices. Her steps are distant, her gaze as deep as the final stanza of a cryptic song, for she is an enchanted soul living not in the noise of the crowd, but in the noble elegance of her own darkness.

I chose this for myself and wore it during the 5 years of my last relationship. Now I am forcing myself to remove unwanted memories by finding a new fragrance.I cannot find ANYTHING I love as much as this, and that turns heads+gets compliments like this=( It is VERY spicy, dark, mysterious, flirty, devilish, femme fatale, "i'm pretty but don't fuck with me or i'll stab you with my stiletto's" My ex couldn't keep his nose away from my neck, and in fact his best male friend ended up purchasing this for himself after constantly sniffing me one time we were all out on the town. I've had men stop me and ask me what I was wearing many times, and have been hit on more than with any other fragrance. I truly believe this is NOT for every body. Literally...i think you have to have a natural chemistry to your hormones and flesh for this to work with you. Also, it takes a very animalistic, primal, strong, sexy and aggressive person to pull this off. THIS IS VERY UNISEX in my opinion. PLEASE, if you have any recommendations for me and my journey onto my next signature fragrance that is similar in character to this one...let me know!

The scent is seductive and clearly niche in quality, yet undeniably polarizing. The opening is sharp, spicy, and almost masculine, which can be quite challenging at first. As it dries down, however, it transforms into a creamy, slightly sweet, and subtly clean woody composition, where its true luxurious character emerges. In terms of performance, it is an absolute beast, projection and longevity are outstanding, to the point that it can still be distinctly detected on winter clothes and coats months later. That said, its intensity requires a controlled application, it can feel overwhelming in enclosed spaces and is best suited for winter and very cold autumn days. In warmer seasons, it becomes heavy and tiring to wear. This is a powerful, bold, femme fatale fragrance that shines especially on women with a strong presence, and it pairs beautifully with dark, high-quality, thick fabrics. Rather than an everyday or signature scent, it feels more like a special-occasion fragrance one you reach for only when you truly want to feel dark, sensual, and intensely feminine.

My favorite YouTube fragrance influencer, Wendi, of Wendi's Parade of Perfume, recently described Versace Crystal Noir--approvingly, I should add!--as a "skanky white floral." I didn't get it at the time, although the phrase stuck with me. When I wore this before, all I discerned was the cardamom, the coconut, the slightly creamy sandalwood and somewhat soapy musk. The gardenia note was always present but not really dominant on my skin. Well, I'm smelling it today, and the so-called gardenia is very jasminelike, and much more indolic than I remembered it being. In fact, there is something almost Alien-like about the floral note--my skank tolerance is not high enough for me to wear Alien more than once every couple of years. I hope I don't start liking Crystal Noir less--the main, perhaps only, thing I don't like about Alien is that dirty, almost fecal indolic aspect to the jasmine. Uh oh! Well, I'm still grateful to Wendi for helping me to notice new things about familiar fragrances that I can now smell anew, even if this does force me to acknowledge my prudery.

REVIEW FOR ALL CURRENT FORMULAS All have the same core dna. All have great lasting power and strength. EDT 🫚 The spices come through most in the edt. The freshest feeling, with an undertone of body odor (in a good way). No coconut. First spray feels slightly masculine, cologne-ish. You get a lot of the cardamom and ginger over gardenia. This one sadly fades into just the BO on my skin. I am a bit self-conscious wearing this one out due to the dry down, though I personally enjoy it. EDP 🥥 Creamier with coconut. Less spicy than the edt, more floral. It’s creamy coconut over gardenia with a hint of ginger. The dry down is clean and soapy vs the BO base of the edt. This is my personal favorite. The best option imo. PARFUM 🍮 Turn the Crystal Noir dna way down and add caramel, vanilla, and ambroxan. The sweetest with very little spice. Basically a caramel/ambrox bomb with a hint of vanilla-doused CN. Though this is supposed to be the strongest, the addition of ambrox has me going nose-blind quickly. This is my least favorite.

So I was at Target at the beginning of summer and this woman smelled so good when she passed me that I wheeled my cart around and followed her for a few aisles until she hung up her phone and addressed the creepy stalker who was sniffing her scent trail. She told me that it was the "Versace Black Crystal or something" and that every single time she wears it, someone compliments how good she smells. Well, I immediately bought it. When it arrived, I tried it on and immediately thought, "Blech! Too sweet!" And into my Dump Bin it went. Four days ago, I happened upon it and gave it a spray. What a difference a few months makes... especially now that the temperatures have dropped a little and the humidity isn't so thick... it's creamy and luscious, warm, just slightly spicy... I promptly moved it to my "Preferred Fragrances" tray on my dresser and have worn it eagerly ever since. Definite proof that you shouldn't dismiss a scent until you've tried it under a variety of conditions!

This is one of my best performing perfumes, especially for the winter. I love how deep and rich it is - lasts months and the sillage is pleasantly surprising. I hung my coat on a door peg and after an hour walked past the door peg to leave the room, and I was blasted with warm spicy oriental cocktail aroma. The opening is a bit polarising because I get a very harsh ginger black pepper scent - no sweetness just spice. — imagine drinking that from a glass! It takes some time to mellow out but the smoothest coconut reveals itself, like a cool piña colada in the night sky. Strong and bold women are required to pull of such a powerful scent. She’s not quiet at all - her presence is known! My favourite thing is to smell my clothes the day after outings - it makes me sad to put it into the washing machine. The fabric grips the fragrance so well! My fiancé absolute loves this scent in the winter so I make sure to douse it on my cotton housewear......

Crystal Noir exemplifies a sophisticated balance between complexity and restraint. Its opening combines the sharp, aromatic spiciness of ginger, cardamom, and pepper, immediately establishing presence and tension, while the floral heart of gardenia, peony, and orange blossom moderates this intensity, introducing refinement and subtle elegance. The dry-down, dominated by sandalwood, musk, and amber, provides structural depth and warmth, anchoring the composition in a lingering, understated sensuality. The fragrance achieves a duality: dark yet airy, clean yet enigmatic and mysterious, evoking atmospheric conditions such as fog, overcast skies, and light rain, which reinforce its introspective and mysterious character. Optimally suited for autumn and winter wear, but I personally love it all year around. Crystal Noir projects an aura of quiet confidence and sophistication, leaving a controlled yet memorable impression.

You’ve probably heard the phrases “mysterious and distant” used for this perfume. I bought it both to have it in my perfume library and for general knowledge. As someone who prefers warm spicy scents over fresh spicy ones, I didn’t immediately warm up to it. Looking at the notes, the picture in my head was this: a cardamom-dominant fresh-spicy opening, followed by a lactonic coconut and a strong gardenia scent. It didn’t quite turn out that way. After a cold spicy opening, I was met with a creamy (rather than lactonic) coconut and white florals. In the drydown, I think a slight lactonic quality from sandalwood emerges. Since I’ve only had it for a few days, my opinion will certainly change, but I don’t find it as “mysterious” as it’s marketed to be. 🩵 Update: I’m in love how creamy coconut smell this perfume has!

This perfume is one if its kind imo, it doesn’t have a overwhelming scent and sometimes it doesn’t even smell like something but whenever I wear this perfume (especially in the night) everybody compliments it. If I had to explain this scent it smells like vibrant yet dark purple,a scent of a woman who is alluring, the one makes you tremble while you speak yet she makes you feel that you can trust her. She’s mysterious and she knows what she wants. And also this scent reminds me of art deco style. If I had to wear this perfume with something I’d definitely wear it with leather boots. The whole outfit will follow dark colors but there will be one thing makes it eye catching such as a diamond necklace. This scent is amazing for a blind buy and I assure you, you will get lots of compliments with this!

one of my favourite scents oat, some argue its strictly night scent, however i feel its perfect for the daytime if you have the confidence and vibe to wear it, i find it to be a super sexy office scent imo. it smells amazing in the cold weather and stands out the most there and is when i enjoy wearing it the most. the coconut helps to even the scent out and makes the spicey peppery notes not too strong, it creates a super sexy yet elegant scent. gives me the imagery of an older woman whose in charge and walks with purpose. sunglasses, black pantsuit, heels, etc. also not super commonly worn i find so can easily make this a signature scent if that's what you're looking for - however i find it difficult to scent layer as it is such a standalone scent

Let me start off by saying that this has done what no other fragrance has done before - give Alien a run for its money in becoming my signature scent. It is the sexiest, sultriest fragrance I was able to come across, to date. The coconut is very prominent in this, but not in a high-schooler-bodyspray type of way. The pepper and ginger mixed with the musk give mysteriousness to the exotic, tropical base. It reminds me of a nightclub, short dresses, heels, cigarettes, sticky/sweaty bodies. It's almost sluttish without smelling overpowering and cloying. How did I overlook this beauty for so long? Thank you Versace for making this gem. I own the other Crystals, and this one is, hands down, the very best. I am in love.

the very first whiff of this scent, and i was falling in love with the delicate freshness of it instantly. i will always cherish the way it starts off slightly spicy (thanks to cardamon, mostly!), and then gradually dissolves into something incredibly light. even before i looked at the pyramid, i've known this softness of gardenia, and it reminded me of one of my favourite songs; and when it just stays on you with that light sweetness... absolute masterpiece. it's summer and spring coded perfume to me, and it lingers for a significant amount of time (especially if sprayed upon clothing), so it's going to one of my favourites this year <3 <3

I'm absolutely in love with it. It's super sensual, flirty, sexy, alluring. It's definitely a bit more matture, giving dark fem vibes. The opening notes are sweet and spicy, and then the creaminess develops and you are left with this coconut-y, creamy sweet hug. It doesn't need a re-do on a night out, it's super long lasting. If I spray it in my hair it lasts until the next wash. I think it's good for the summer, super sexy. Works well in a hot weather. I got it off for 30USD cos of a "damaged box" internal deal, and that's a fair price. I think it is a bit overpriced, the bottle is nothing special.

Stunning. Pure sex appeal in a (rather tacky and ugly) bottle. I don't even mine the ridiculous bottle design because this smells so damn good. The coconut really shines, lime isn't listed but I'm getting something citrus-y in the opening. It reminds me of my first perfume love Ralph Lauren Hot, but smells more mature than that. The florals and the woodsy base notes pull it away from being a gourmand and back to a date night evening scent. I put it on and immediately feel like my dark mysterious alter-ego. Crystal Noir would never have to buy her own drinks at a bar.

Crystal Noir is a mysterious, elegant, and seductive fragrance that balances dark florals, subtle spices, and a musky base. It opens with the freshness of pepper and ginger, unfolding into a floral heart of gardenia and peony, while the base of sandalwood and amber adds warmth and depth. The combination is intriguing and memorable. I love this fragrance, though it’s definitely not for everyone. It has personality and aura, effortlessly setting the mood for a night out. The sensual, mysterious vibe feels sophisticated yet approachable.

This perfume is incredibly special to me. I remember buying it almost two years ago in Porto, Portugal. What a great holiday! To my nose, it’s the perfect blend of flowers, amber, and musk, with a touch of pepper that gives it a bit of edge, making it subtly mischievous. It’s dark, almost gothic in its airy, mysterious character, yet extremely clean. It feels deep and introspective — a wonderful companion for both travel and self-reflection. One of my all-time favorites. The projection and longevity are truly impressive.

This scent is so beautifully complex I'm not quite sure how to describe it (but I'll give it my best go!). It's dominated by a soft and sweet sandalwood whilst the lightly spicy pepper and creamy coconut and gardenia play a vital supporting role. There's also a powdery nuance (from the peony, perhaps?) which adds layers to the fragrance. This is an absolute stunner of a perfume which I don't think could be replicated by anyone - beautifully unique and ahead of its time, especially for a designer fragrance! 10/10

This has become my signature scent. There is no sharpness to any note when I spray, it’s all so blended and balanced. On me it’s a gorgeous floral with a touch of sweetness and a touch of spice, and it’s not cloying or pungent at all. The longevity is great, and the sillage is good. After several hours it becomes a creamy sandalwood vanilla-ish floral that lingers for a long time. I’ve worn this many times, and sometimes I can still smell it on me the next morning. This has become my signature scent.

I finally got Crystal Noir and I really like it. It’s a fresh spicy yet airy coconut with hints of white florals playing a supporting role. Better for cooler weather but honestly, I could see myself wearing this in the spring (at night) as well. Not necessarily blind buy safe, but if you like musk, coconut and spices, this is something worth having in your collection. I’m not a white floral fan by any means but this is beautifully blended and I don’t find any of the notes harsh or overdone.

Fresh and non-overwhelmingly spicy, creamy, sensual, alluring. It's a classic for a reason and can be considered a modern masterpiece. Some people in my country say it smells like pickle juice, while on this version of fragrantica almost no one said this nonsense) You associate scents with the things you're often surrounded by, btw. You can dislike the scent, sure, everything is subjective, but if your sense of smell is completely broken, please don't leave these misleading reviews

Im actually getting gardenia the most and the weird thing that gardenia coconut combo unexpectedly isn’t tropical ! And that’s why im obsessed over this fragrance I absolutely have no issues with that spicy opening i don’t mind it at all I actually like it a little bit but it fades away so fast u smell those spices just for the first 15 minutes after that to the next day u will just smell like non tropical bright gardenia coconut musk and sandalwood IM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE

Hi, guy here. I'm really a novice to female oriented fragrances since I do not use them of course, but since i have smelled this on the misses this has been a long time favourite. Might just be my psychological bond to this scent, but this is a Lady you absolutely take seriously. I love smelling this on her all 4 seasons of the year, so much so that I usually buy it as a gift for her when she runs out. (Sidenote; She's not as much of a fragrancehead as I ám)

Unbelievable !!! I really really dislike pepper ginger and cardamom in fragrances but this is just done right the gardenia is just on spot if this fragrance doesn’t have gardenia i know I wouldn’t like it it is just magical flower If perfumes like pure poison tous tous crystal noir and everbloom the best perfumes just because of the gardenia...... i really appreciate this beauty and im gonna have it in my collection asap 9/10 🤍🤍

Omg for real for real what a scent like omg this smells divine,amazing,heavy,super,powerful,girl power,knowledge this perfume is sweet ,deep,strong,fulfilling Definitely not for the summer but throughout the rest of the year Like it is so good To a point it reminds me of hypnotic poison as if they were two persons that look alike but hey This one is the rrrrrrrrrrrreal deal It is so good and so original like perfect

I absolutely adore this perfume!!!! And I tend to stay away from anything labeled "spicy" Honestly, I had no idea that it was even categorized as a warm spicy scent until I read that on this platform. It's just the right amount of everything in terms of the notes that form its particular DNA. Even on its own this perfume performs!!! But its a beast of a pefume to layer with!!! I strongly recommend!!!!!!!!

A favorite I've worn since the 1st release in 2004 edp. I almost exclusively wore her for a very long time...I was addicted & still am. I haven't tried the latest formulation & I don't want to. Why would they f around with a perfect perfume. Absolutely ridiculous. I'll buy the OG bottles as long as I can find them. Thank you, Antoine Lie for a forever favorite perfume...just gorgeous!

I bought Initio Musk Therapy recently and it smells very similar, on me, to Versace Crystal Noir. IMT is a magnolia sandalwood musk and VCN is a gardenia sandalwood musk. IMT is a softer and less strong than VCN and will probably be better worn, for me, in warmer weather. I love them both but I find I can only wear VCN on colder winter days. It's a beast....a beautiful beast though.

Such a gorgeous scent. I’ve seen people describe it as a “femme fatale” and that kind of vibe, but to me it smells very clean, polished, and elegant. I don’t know why but sometimes it reminds me of initio’s musk therapy, even though they barely share any notes. To my nose they smell kind of similar. I love it!!! Sillage is BEAST

My favorite fall/winter perfume to wear. It’s so mysterious, fresh, bit creamy from the coconut and yet spicy, I feel like a femme fatale everytime I’m wearing it. I fell in love with this fragrance in 2005, at 16, and 20 years later I’m still into it. Unfortunately, through the years longevity and sillage are less strong.

Most voted note is coconut and i dont smell it, all i got are pepper, cardamom, musk and gardenia. However i like those combination together, so catchy, characteristic and mezmerizing! I'm obsessed with vanilla scents tbh and I dont usually wears floral scents but this one is stole my heart. Recommended for 25+ ladies.

This is my favorite perfum. It's strong and has the strong confident womanish smell. It's last long even if showering. I find more of a night out or date type of fragrance. Or if you want to leave a good impression in interview (but don't spray too much). Up till now, I having found a perfum to top this one (for me).

Finally got a bottle of this today...note theres a difference between parfum , edp and the edt versions...I got the edp. Its creamy peppery coconut .Smells expensive and not synthetic. I'm obsessed since the day I smelled it. One spray is enough cause it's very strong especially in summer.

Not a blind buy perfume. More like try it first and decide maybe if you could wear it. I mean my friends solely get pepper when they try to wear this perfume but when I wear it, it is more a creamy gardenia mixed coconut on me which gets everyone both confused and gets me compliments

I love this. The coconut is not heavy at all, very subtle and slightly fruity (orange blossom maybe), floral but not to much, it's an amazing and intense blend. Smells fresh but mostly of flowers, very feminin, edible really. Beautiful and rich, like an afternoon in Saint Tropez.

This is my heavy hitter and used to be my mom's go to perfume when going somewhere too. It’s spicy, dark coconut and sandalwood. Would never wear this one to the office, but I wear it when I'm going out at night and want to leave a trail, as the sillage is strong on this one.

Haven't worn this in a while but remember it fondly as the fragrance that made me fall in love with gardenia. It's wonderfully spicy and floral with a creamy, coconutty tropical vibe that leans sexy but not in a loud immature way. It flatters a figure hugging dress perfectly.

To me it smells like what i imagine a messy leather purse to smell like. It opens with a pretty harsh spicy scent but after a few minutes it turns into this milky, spicy coconut. It is perfect for colder seasons and for nights out but suffocating during a hot weather day.

My favorite perfume ever. It starts out with white florals, fig, spice, and ginger. But it dries down into what smells like caramelized dates, amber, coconut, with milky notes, its soooo good. It smells luxurious, very feminine and a little dark and sultry.

gorgeous, earthy, mysterious. It’s a very mature scent, as a 20 year old I do feel a little out of place when I use it, as I still have a lot of growing to do, though I absolutely love it. I wish it lasted longer though.

@jesusis1 I am pretty sure they didn't change the formula... Versace just added a third perfume to the collection. I'm pretty sure it's an anniversary edition. You're gonna be OK buddy, just order off the gray market.

It's dark, sensual, deep, very romantic. It's sweet, intense and alluring. I love this profile, it's super feminine and it lasts so long on my clothes. Definitely to wear with a matching dress on a date night!

One of my most complimented fragrances I own. A dark spicy/sweet coconut floral vibe, absolutely love it. Lasts forever on my skin I work 12 hour shifts and will get compliments the whole day on it.

my mom literally owns this scent hahah she's been using it since i can remember. mostly i feel the incense and peppery notes. the scent is ETERNAL, trust me. it creates a trail behind her

A very empowering and elegant scent. Makes me feel like a badass executive. Whenever I need to perform at work and that I need reassurance that I got this, I wear Crystal Noir
