Real talk
MB is the one that doesn't announce itself but gets remembered. Powdery florals and coconut, distinctly of its era, like early 2000s Italian fashion house romantic sensibility. Warm, not loud.MB
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
