Our verdict on Crave: Favourite

Crave is a divisive blast from the past, a fresh and sporty scent that perfectly captures Y2K youthful energy. For many, its unique, invigorating sparkle outweighs its often-criticised synthetic edge and short lifespan, making it a nostalgic favourite, albeit hard to track down.

Its fresh and clean nature makes it suitable for casual wear and sports, as many users attested it for gym or summer. However, its often-cited poor longevity and projection combined with a youthful, sporty vibe make it less ideal for formal settings or dates where more gravitas and presence are typically desired.

About

Crave bursts open with a vibrant, fresh accord of aquatic notes and zesty bergamot, immediately establishing its energetic character. As it settles, a spicy heart emerges with green basil and peppery pimento, underpinned by coriander. The drydown offers a subtle woody base of vetiver and birch, softened by musk and a hint of tonka, maintaining a clean yet gently warm finish.
