I can’t shut up about Crystal Noir. It is so sexy and beautiful. It makes me feel confident whenever I wear it! It combines so many great accords - clean and spicy, floral and woody, musky and powdery. It sounds like a lot is going on. And although it’s bolder than the average woody floral, it’s wearable enough for every day! The only downside of this perfume is that it doesn’t last as long as I’d like. I have the toilette version, so maybe I just need to buy the EDP. I’ve also heard some people have the opposite issue and it’s too overpowering. I guess it might vary person to person.

I have bought this thinking I’ll be non stop wearing it because I seen a lot of people rave about how sexy this fragrance is and don’t get me wrong it’s a stunning fragrance but it’s just not for me. It smells a bit too masculine to me. I want to smell more like a woman like a sweet sugary candy, like a burnt vanilla sugar snack that you will crave. Just isn’t for me. If you like the more bold strong and masculine scents I would recommend this but if you are more into girly fragrance such as flowery fruity etc. I would not recommend. I definitely wasted my money on this one because I never use it.

This is such a mysterious fragrance. I purchased this because I wanted something coconut. The first time I test sprayed I got a lot of soap. I thought I made a mistake. The next time I sprayed it wow. Just wow. She’s sweet but not sugary sweet more floral sweet. There’s nothing dated about this though. The floral is a beach with flowers, the coconut is fresh cracked and raw, the amber and sandalwood at the base are weathered wood canoes. Ok, I’m doing too much but seriously this is perfect.

Every time I’ve tested this in a store (tried on a blotter and on the skin), I just couldn’t see the appeal of this scent, let alone, understand its popularity. The coconut note people would love terrified me (thanks, Reb’l Fleur). However, I got to purchase the original formulation of Crystal Noir EDT, and I get it now. This scent, once it settles, is the definition of cozy and warm. The fact that the floral notes are quite prominent in this one make it less of a “tropical coconut” and more of a “here is a tropical flower bouquet”. It’s dark and rich, yet so enticing. I can see why this fragrance always ends up on any “sexy perfumes” list. Also, it has a beast of a performance. If sprayed on clothes, it will literally last you days! And even that fact makes it ... MoreEvery time I’ve tested this in a store (tried on a blotter and on the skin), I just couldn’t see the appeal of this scent, let alone, understand its popularity.

And even that fact makes it worth your money. The new formulation might be different, but still, this one is unique. Also, EDT and EDP are different! I prefer the EDT version. Plus, it lasts just like an EDP version would. Only the balance of the notes is smoother in the EDT (to my nose).

GORGEOUS. Just doesn't last.

This has been my fragrance for the last year. I'm in love with it's clean, yet slightly exotic smell. My husband and son absolutely hate perfumes but this one they both love! I have to overspray because it doesn't last as long as I'd like. That's the ONLY downfall. But every time I go out wearing this I get asked what I'm wearing or told how good I smell and how clean it smells. It doesn't list coconut, but I get a little hint of coconut in the scent. It's warm and cool at the same time. Fresh and clean but a little spice and peppery at the same time too. It's definitely unique!It feels like a sexy and mysterious dark brunette on a cool summer night at a tropical open air beach side tiki bar. That's the best way I can describe it haha.

Just OK. (reformulated version)

I tried this in Sephora a few times, expecting something amazing. Each time, I thought it was OK, but not good enough for me to purchase a bottle. This week, I came across a bottle for $30 at Marshalls and figured I'll give it a go...and I still think it's just an "OK" product. This smells like a hotel soap, and I'd label this as a "clean & fresh" scent. It's not "dark & mysterious" like the look of the bottle suggests. That being said, I've read that this has been reformulated, and is not the same as the old one. The one I have was made in 2022, according to the batch code.I'll keep it in my collection, but it's not something I'd purchase again.

Love it

I absolutely love Crystal Noir and the best part is I hated it at first. I vaguely remember someone using it around me when it first came out and hadn't sniffed it since. A couple of months back I picked it up because I kept seeing reviews that raved about it. I was not impressed with it, there was something very off to me. But for some reason I tried it again some time later and then I didn't hate it - I didn't love it either but there was something intriguing. To begin with it smells like a cleaning product, albeit a nice smelling cleaning product. I thought it was rather funny that I didn't hate it anymore at the same time as it reminded me of something my mom used to clean the floors with when I was a kid, but perhaps it was for nostalgic reasons that it grew on ... MoreI absolutely love Crystal Noir and the best part is I hated it at first.

I then kind of forgot about having sprayed it on my wrist, went on about my day and didn't think of it again until in the evening. I was in bed when suddenly I was hit in the nose with something so exquisite. Something soft but with a presence, creamy and just plain gorgeous. It took me a while to realise it was coming from my wrist. I couldn't believe what I was smelling. Every shred of floor cleaning product vibe was gone and I was left with this creamy, floral, coconutty and wood infused aroma. I was also very impressed with the longevity and projection because at that point it must have been around 14 hours since I sprayed it on. The next time was in the department store I tried it out again and the same thing happened - first there was the cleaning product part, straight from the bottle and for maybe 15-20 minutes and then it finally blooms into what it really is. And since Fragrancex was offering a lot better price then my local department store was, I went online and ordered it right away. This gem needs a little time, and I'm so glad I gave it another go because out of my big stack of perfumes at all price points, this is one of my most loved ones. Its sexy, creamy and lasts forever 💕

Love love love

So I was at Ulta the other day. And I sprayed this and the ysl libre intense... and sat there for like 20 min trynna decide which one I wanted. So I walked around the mall.. and tbh it stayed the whole dayyy. It's so nice. Dries down close to body. But u only need 1 spray. I love this. It's like a sexy vampire vibe. Love this for a date nice out. This will linger of your clothes for a minute. If u add lotion and Vaseline it does project longer but like I said even if I doesn't stay one spray is all it takes.

New go-to summer fragrance!!

This is my new go-to summer scent! I had been searching for one for a while, but nothing felt right. I'm very much a gourmand girl and have been on a woody and spice kick lately, but most of these perfumes feel cloying in the summer heat. I kept seeing everyone say how great this one is and how it gets them tons of compliments, so of course i blind bought. I loved all the notes, and i like to get coconut scents because it's my husbands favorites. This did not disappoint! I've seen it described as a minty coconut and i think that's a good description. Its a complex scent, sometimes I'll get wafts of coconut, sometimes spice, and sometimes woodiness. It's very gourmand without being overpowering, and i sometimes feel like it smells like sunscreen, but in the best way. ... MoreThis is my new go-to summer scent!

I will say i have a tendency to go noseblind to it throughout the day, but other people still compliment it when I've stopped smelling it. This is def my favorite right now!

Smells like the scent changed

So I had read some other reviews and ignored them anyways I've had this perfume for years and I decided to purchase myself a new bottle during the sale was very excited to do so. But upon spraying it on my left arm and then I sprayed my old one on my right arm sure enough the formula's do smell different there must have been a formula change somewhere along the line. It doesn't smell the same the new 1 smells way more floral and the old 1 smells floral but warm. It is different and it's not a subtle difference it's a noticeable difference. Very disappointed that this happened Happened much like everything else the quality has gone down.
