What do reviewers say about Mania and Crystal Noir?
Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud built Mania around a bold orange blossom and labdanum opening, then layered in saffron and clove for heat. It truly wraps you in warmth.Mania
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
