Jasmin Noir vs Crystal Noir

The r/fragrance community holds the original Jasmin Noir in high regard as a distinctive jasmine fragrance with warmth and depth that resonates personally with wearers. However, frustration centers on its discontinuation and replacement with the notably different Splendida version, which many feel was poorly communicated by Bvlgari as a simple 'upgrade' rather than a reformulation.

Crystal Noir is a divisive fragrance with strong projection and longevity that receives genuine compliments from many wearers. However, the prominent coconut note is a significant turn-off for those who find it overpowering or sunscreen-like, and the EDP and EDT formulations differ noticeably, making recommendations context-dependent. It works best as a seasonal evening fragrance for those who enjoy creamy, spiced coconut scents.
