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.
Statement
Our Verdict - 059 Crystal Noir EDP
A faithful spicy-gardenia read of Crystal Noir's carnal, oriental floral core, softened slightly in the sandalwood-amber finish compared with the original.
