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.
