Real talk
Powdery vanilla that plays it safe, except for the anise. That licorice-pepper note sneaks into the drydown and winks. Sweet enough to flirt, warm enough to mean it.Secondscent
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
