What do reviewers say about Nearly Noon and Crystal Noir?
Nearly Noon is a comfort scent that wears like a warm blanket. The cardamom and saffron keep it from becoming overly sweet, adding a sophisticated edge to its warmth.Nearly Noon
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
