What do reviewers say about True Red and Crystal Noir?
You grab this when you want to smell good without overthinking it. Fruity-sweet, musky base, works anywhere. That's the appeal. Also the limit, accessible can mean forgettable.True Red
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
