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.

Our Verdict - Versencia Noir Eau de Parfum
This affordable dupe of Versace Crystal Noir sparks a lively debate: is it a respectable, creamy-coconut take on the original, or a disappointing shadow? Many find it a fantastic, versatile clone after maceration, while others are left cold by its peppery opening and perceived lack of depth.
