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 - Heavenly Gingerlily EDT

A light, fresh ginger lily number with tropical vibes. Most people are a bit disappointed by the performance of the EDT, but if you can look past that, it's a classy scent for a cosy, sophisticated mood.

Season and Occasion Fit

Crystal Noir

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.

The light projection and short longevity make this an ideal choice for the office or casual daily wear, where it won't overpower. Its delicate floral and fresh spicy profile suits relaxed settings but might lack the gravitas for a formal event.
