Sexual Noir is a well-received sweet fruity fragrance with excellent performance and compliment-getting potential. However, its heavy sweetness and significant skin chemistry variation means it works beautifully for some wearers while smelling too cloying or masculine to others, making it best suited for those who enjoy gourmand fragrances.
