Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Crystal Noir Eau de Toilette
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Cash Flower Extrait
A polarising rose, Cash Flower is either a beautiful, jammy delight or a synthetic, oversweet mess that reminds half its wearers of a dozen other perfumes. If you're a Montale Roses Musk fan, there's a strong chance this will hit the mark. If you're not, proceed with caution.

Season and Occasion Fit

Crystal Noir Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
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.

Cash Flower Extrait

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its intensity and rich character make it less suitable for office wear, but its bold, luxurious feel is perfect for dates and evening events. Some find it easy-wearing for casual outings, especially in cooler weather, but it's definitely not for sport.
