Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Crystal Noir EDT
This EDT is a divisive beast: some rave about its fresh, creamy spice, others smell cleaning products or worse. Despite the controversy, its impressive performance for an EDT makes it a cult classic, with many finding it a sophisticated, sexy signature scent.

Our Verdict - No.055 Crystal Noir EDP
No.055 follows Versace's Crystal Noir with a ginger-and-pepper opening leading into a gardenia-heavy floral heart and a musky amber base. The central gardenia comes through clearly, though the composition sits softer and less resinous than the original's fuller sandalwood-musk finish.

Seasons

Best For:

Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its impressive longevity and sillage, even as an EDT, make it versatile for most occasions but might be a bit much for a conservative office. The 'sexy, mysterious' vibe and creamy woods make it ideal for dates and special evenings, while its freshness allows for daytime and casual wear.
