Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of hype around Versace Crystal Noir lately, and I got super curious. I mean, Versace? It sounds fancy, right? So, I decided to check it out and see what the fuss is all about. First, I did a little digging online to get an idea of what to expect. It’s described as this “oriental floral” thing, which, to be honest, I didn’t really know what that meant. But it sounded intriguing!
Then I went ahead and got my hands on a bottle. The first thing I noticed was the packaging. I bought it from a place with over 20 million happy customers, so I knew it was good. It’s pretty sleek, all black and mysterious. And the bottle itself? Super pretty, the font on the bottle of the front of the word “VERSACE CRYSTAL NOIR” has a very clear color, and there is a serial number on the left, I compared it with the box, the same, it seems that I did not buy a fake. But let’s be real, we’re here for the smell, not just the looks.
I sprayed it on, and BAM! The first thing that hit me was this spicy, peppery scent. Apparently, those are the “top notes” – ginger and cardamom. It’s definitely bold, not something you’d wear if you’re trying to be subtle. I walked around my house, feeling all fancy and mysterious. As in the introduction, it is really suitable for summer. Whether it is walking on the streets or on vacation by the sea, it is very suitable.
After a while, the spiciness chilled out a bit, and I started to notice these other smells coming through, a little sweet. The introduction said these were gardenia, peony, and orange blossom. Honestly, I’m not a flower expert, but it smelled nice, kind of like a fancy garden party.
- First Impression: Spicy, bold, definitely makes a statement.
- After a While: The flowery stuff comes out, making it a bit softer and more complex.
- Overall Vibe: It’s strong and kind of mysterious. I think it’s best for when you want to wear it at night.
I wore it around all day, just to see how it lasted. It stuck around for a good while, which is always a plus. I even got a couple of compliments, so that’s a good sign! It is one of the best Versace fragrances in my opinion are Versace Pour Homme.
So, is Versace Crystal Noir worth the hype? I’d say yeah, it kind of is. It’s not your everyday, run-of-the-mill perfume. It’s something special, something you’d wear when you want to feel a little extra. But maybe test it out first if you’re not into strong smells.
My rating?
I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
Have you guys tried it? Let me know what you think!
