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 - Dark Crystal EDP
Dark Crystal takes its cue from Versace's gothic floral-oriental Crystal Noir, borrowing the gardenia-and-amber mood but swapping in a simpler jasmine-rose heart and a flatter patchouli-vanilla base. It captures the dark, sensual outline of the original well enough for casual wear, but loses the creamy, almost gourmand richness that gives Crystal Noir its lasting sillage.

Occasions

Best For:

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.
