What do reviewers say about Varens Je t'aime and Crystal Noir?
For a mass-market French scent from the early 2010s, Je t'aime holds up reasonably well. The citrus opening is genuinely pleasant, and the floral heart avoids being too sweet or synthetic.Varens Je t'aime
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
