What do reviewers say about In Red and Crystal Noir?
This is for someone who knows what she wants. Rose-forward, yes, but not delicate. Fruity, spiced, quietly confident, the kind of presence that doesn't announce itself.In Red
Crystal Noir is not subtle and it knows it. The pepper and ginger opening is unapologetically assertive, but the coconut gardenia heart is where it wins people over.Crystal Noir
