    What do reviewers say about Pure Intense and Crystal Noir?

    Jasmine at the heart makes this less traditionally masculine than expected, but geranium keeps things crisp enough to feel gender-neutral. Patchouli does the quiet work of grounding everything.Pure Intense
    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
