What do reviewers say about Sun and Crystal Noir?
Powder and vanilla worn close to the skin, the talcum warmth of someone who spent the afternoon in light. Not every fragrance needs to announce itself.Sun
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
