What do reviewers say about Beyond and Crystal Noir?
Not a statement fragrance. It's the one you reach for when you want something that asks nothing of you, just follows along. The woody warmth does the heavy lifting, the cedar keeps it grounded.Beyond
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
