TurkishRose. I do think Crystal Noir is quite sexy! My suggestions for all things sexy would be Lancome Magnifique, Estee Lauder Sensuous, Calvin Klein Secret Obsession, John Varvatos, Dior Midnight Poison, Armani Code, Gucci by Gucci, Michael by Michael Kors, Narciso Rodriguez, the list goes on and on. I hope my list helps!

This is the only versace frag i LOVE,you cant feel anything but sexy when you wear this.Dark,sexy and luxurious.I used this during last winter with a black(fake)fur,i felt like a million dollars it matched the jacket perfectly..so this is a ultimate winter favourite for me.All women should own a bottle of it!

Totally love or hate for me!
So..
Long time ago, precisely in fall of year 2004 I think, when this fragrance was promoted I happened to 'steal' it from my mum (Not her type anyway). I applyed it on my skin... oh it was divine- dark, creamy, misterious... I thought the ad, the bottle was totally suitable for it.
Some years later I happened to own decant of this (in EDT) and let's say- I hated it- it was linear, aldehydes were awful to my poor nose and finally dad complemented me as skunky. Lovely.. Where was the wonderful perfume I loved years ago?
Today I decided to revisit this one- I grabbed it, opened the huge cap and sprayed just one time to my wrist.
Again are those aldehydes so nasty? Ews! It hits my nose with it's strenght. The obvious + for this perfume is it's strenght. So the top notes were argh with coconut. I was even thinking about how I will now get home and would furiously wash my wrist.
Though later it calmed down and turned to this lovely perfume I knew- cherry, coconut and flowers- all pretty balanced, not biting my nose. Hm.. if it would be all the time like that...

I really can't make up my mind up about this. Normally, i find it easy to decide whats turning me off or on with a scent. The problem (i think) is that i'm just getting coconut, cherry, tiny hint of gardenia and musk. Not much amber, which i tend to like when done well. Having tested it several hours ago, it hasn't changed much, more creamy perhaps even a little soapy. Not sexy, dark or mysterious....shame:(

Mmm, this is such a rich and lavish fragrance. I'm a lover of white florals, but putting them together with coconuts and cherries....that's something I never would've did. This fragrance is such a welcoming surprise. I call it my dark flower power, because of the dark color of the bottle and the bouquet of white florals infused with the other ingredients. Many compare it to CK's Euphoria which is my favorite fragrance and I agree because they're both sweet, dark, sexy and inviting fragrances. Crystal Noir is such a lush, opulent fragrance that's ideal for evening wear and intimate moments. It lingers on the skin and even on my clothes days after. This delighful scent has made me one very satisfied customer.

What a NICE SURPRISE! I wasn't sure I would like this fragrance. The bottle is lovely but intimidating. I was afraid it would be too spicy & sophisticated for me... BUT it wasn't spicy to me at all! And yes, it is a more sophisticated scent (IMO), but it was also soft, fresh, and floral-like. When the SA first sprayed it on my wrist, it was very strong...but it instantly mellowed out. On my skin it reminded me of a flowery breeze with a hint of coconut flowing through it. WOW! Someone told me to try this because I like coconut, but I was afraid that it wouldn't have enough. It's not like a rich coconut cream, but I also don't think it smells like coconut oil either. It's just a nice soft, fresh, coconut that lingers ever so gently on my skin. Can I say that it's an "elegant" coconut aroma? Somehow, this fragrance manages to be fresh AND warm (or maybe it's cozy) at the same time. Perhaps it's the coconut & amber. I don't know if I could wear it during the day, but late afternoon & evenings seem absolutely PERFECT for this intriguing fragrance.

TRY IT! But don't just smell it on paper. It makes a big difference when you try it on yourself!

TURQUOISE

trueperfumelover I had the EDP version and recently gave it away to my sister because lately I've become really sensitive to some perfumes... I don't think there are big differences between EDT and EDP.. CN is a really special coconut fragrance.. on my skin was heavenly fresh and sexy! I was so sad when I realised it was CN responsible for an allergic reaction I had on my throat, but then I made my sister happy :-)) because she likes it too very much, although on her skin smells totally different!

trueperfumelover

i tried eau de toilette and as it s been said in the previous comment the coconut smell is very proeminent and i can t stand it ,so i can t like this fragrance just as i can t like hypnotic poison although HP it didn t bother me so much as CN did.i guess the mix of coconut and spices is sickening for me. i like the bottle very much and it s by far the best fragrance from versace, in my opinion .for the lovers of coconut is perfect. but i am curious to try EDP ,maybe it s different and i could like it...i will look for it.

Chrystal Noir is one fragrance that I very carefully avoided for a while. It is very popular here in my country and i tested it a few times in a shop, but every time seemed to me that it is very powerful and dominating. I got to know it better from a friend, a young lady part of a fragrance community. The first time i tested it was during last winter and the result was fantastic- elegant and sexy, warm and cozy, a little too much for my tase probably but still very appealing. I could recognise the coconut and the creamy florals. And I must say that it creates a level of sexyness and glamour.
The second time I tried it was during late spring and i simply had to wash it off after 15 min. It was much powerful and dominating.
My conclusion from this experience is that it is a lovely scent for me for the cold months and for night full of magic and adventures. But I must be very careful if i'll use it when it is warm! It is in my wishlist and is waiting for the right moment to become my partner for the days to come.
In addition i must say that the EDP and EDT are different not only as concentrations but also as fragrances. EDT has a stronger coconut and cherry note while EDP is deeper and more creamy, more ambery.

Oh, this perfume is so special ! I was in love with this fragrance for years, but I've always thought it would be too much for me, even the edt version. But the fragrance is so intriguing that I had to have it. And I am sorry I couldn't wear it before: it is amazing, as I predicted... and the good news: it wasn't overwhelming or over sweet ! It is a very intense, long lasting, creamy coconut and gardenia, very dark and elegant. It also makes me remind the smell of sweet woods. Many compliments and no head ache !!! The perfume really matches to its beautiful bottle !

dobi

As a silver stars and sparkling black diamonds, CN fascinates with own unique style. It is like a fresh nignt air,full with moon sparkling lights. Gorgeous long staying power.
I love it!

jatzzie

Alltho Crystal Noir is an EdT, it is as longlasting and as powerful as a EdP. To me it is a very strong, heavy fragrance.You have to be really careful not to put too much of it at once, because the heaviness is very overpowering and will cause nausea and headache to the people around you. However when used with "caution", Crystal Noir is very sexy, dark and has this mysterious aura to it, fantastic for evening wear. I don't smell coconut at all, even tho I have been trying very hard to detect those notes. Also I am totally in love with the bottle, it is very pretty.=)

essija

Absolutely gorgeous scent. I like it alot, I can pick up the amber and to me it smells rich and full blown. I love the attitude this scent gives off. Reminds me of nothing I have smelled before, I must get a bottle soon

kevaana

An incredible heavy scent. My head hurts a lot when I smell it.

Annie_D

Very interesting scent, the gardenia comes out at first and then the dry down turns into a mix of the coconut and amber, it almost smells like honey on me and you can barely detect the gardenia. I like it for night wear in the winter or fall, I couldn't imagine wearing this in the summer.

kayka

i like it very much! i have it.. i had it before. this is my 4. bottle!!! :)
it has a smell like a dream!! :) every time i wear it i think i am in clouds :) i am jealous when i smell it on other women ;)

but, the most important is - the men adore it!!! i like their reaction!! :))

nomarlicious

You know this fragrance is so amazing and wonderful and i like the bottle is a dark crystal ..i love it...

Tanya80

The first time I smelled it I didn´t believe it - for it smelled like laurel and pepper, until then I hadn´t smelled something like that before. Versace has actually changed my idea of how a perfume should be. Wow. But it´s not an everyday perfume and surely not for masses. Anyway it´s utterly extraordinary!

missk

I usually love Versace perfumes, and I was sure that I would love this one too because of its tuberose and coconut notes. Unfortunately this was not so.

All I got from this fragrance was a strong burst of powdery aldehydes, and let's just say I'm not a fan of aldehydes.

On the other hand, Crystal Noir has great lasting power and after wearing it for a couple of hours, the aldehydes softened a little and I could smell the coconut and tuberose. I did quite enjoy the drydown but I found it a little similar to Curious by Britney Spears, which I already have. I'm not one for buying perfumes that smell like something I already own.

BlackAmberMoon

I wanted to love this one--the bottle is fantastic--but white florals and I don't get along, and it smells harsh and generic on me. I was hoping for something dark, mysterious, and sexy...oh well.

elanoriah

I had it couple of years ago, and my husband loved it. I liked it but it wasn't something I would wear every day. It is quite strong compared to others of versace.

Eros

It is indeed like coconut-milky-sweet coctail with a bit fruit. No pepper, no salt. "Fruit" componenta is not pushy, you can not identify the type of "fruit". Additionally, personally I hear some hidden notes from my beloved Elizabeth Arden "Beauty"(the same creator Antoine Lie). Drydown is a bit floral. The total spectra is very "expensive", but slightly disbalanced, not "solid", so cocktail has too much contrast to be "official". I would recommend it for blondies. It is not only for "evening" or "night", you can wear it all day.

snobuni77

I have to say that I had higher hopes for this.It does Kind Of resemble Euphoria but it has a stronger musky sandalwood scent in the background that I despise.
I ordered this (mini) unsniffed & it wasn't the best unsniffed purchase although I would wear this I wouldn't wear it often.
I do not get any coconut or cherry(which is what I really wanted to smell)I was expecting a sweeter fragrance with a bit of Yum in it but this is far from yummy.

It almost smells to me like old spice & Euphoria mixed together.

It is a real shame because this seems to be loved by so many & the notes are great.It just must not work with my chemistry =(
If you are into very masculine scents with a hint of fruit & amber in the background then you might like this.

Cherub573

Well, I love the idea of this fragrance. I love coconut and white florals, and the intial spray is delicious to me. The problem is what happens after. The coconut and gardenia mostly disappear within 15 minutes, leaving me with just amber and sandalwood. Those two notes are nice if blended softly, but on me they are STRONG and I get a headache at this point (amber-y perfumes have been known to give me headaches before). I really wanted it to work on me, and I adore the way it smells at first.

Dragonfly

Crystal noir for me is a very warm,feminine and undeniably sexy fragrance..Many reviews compare it with Calvin Klein's Euphoria.I believe that crystal noir it is much warmer and better composed than euphoria.It definately lacks the artificial side that i dislike so much in Euphoria and blends very smooth with the skin instead of just linger above it the way Euphoria does..As for the juice,in the opening the smell of coconut is very prominent on me(not in a bad way)and as it dries down amber and musk begin to round up the composition..IT really has a "cremy" "thick"feeling to it.The most weird thing about me and this fragrance is that if i smell in the evening i find it very elegant and sexy but...if i smell it in the morning, for example at an office,it is like a diffenent fragrance..very tacky and cheap smelling..So what can i say..Thank god that everyday the sun sets..and when i does..it's crystal noir time..lol

leonora84

I had this since 3 years in my collection. For the first time I tought that this may be too decadent because the peppery-tuberosey darkness. But it smoothens out to a slightly sweet, very girly, but melancholic and beautiful scent. I can't wear it so often, because it is one of my friends HG. I like the way she wears it, and I am on my own search for my own HG which could be worn by me so enticingly.
UPDATE: I found out, that on my skin turns the drydown of Crystal Noir and BS Fantasy very (very-very) similar, wich is a good thing, because I love the sweet, woodsy, warm base notes of CN. So for me, CN is rather a sweet-sugary scent, but I have a substitute for it, too. :)

honeypoppyseed

This is a very sultry, tropical fragrance. It's like stepping into the night, or a hot sweaty cabana club. The scent is full of liquor, music, dance, and heat.
Upon application one feels invigorated. Sultry. Like kitten lapping up milk and brandy. Deeply feminine. This scent is perfect for a night out, a night in, or even just grooming. I swear, just brushing your hair with this fragrance feels amazing.

This fragrance does have its limitations, but mainly it is about attitude. This is a strong fragrance-it's not sweet, it's unusual-and so is the woman who wears this fragrance.
If you want to be really provocative, think Veronica Lake: wear it in the summer, with a think head of hair and an amazing tan. Or if you are due for a formal dinner party with family, loved ones, colleagues or clients, this fragrance is fantastic with slinky dresses, lots of platinum and ice.

The bottle pretty much says it all. This fragrance demands respect. It's memorable and smells very expensive.

azuriiita

Its pleasant :) On my skin its soft... nothing stron :) The dry down have an interesting personality. Im feeling comfortable with this perfume... and for my nose, its not very sweet... its more like a coconut cream for a subtle dessert or like "suspiro de coco" para el "bienmesabe" :) -a typical venezuelan dessert-
For me, the dry down is the best of this fragrance.

sjanira

I really like how dark and yummy this fragrance is. It kinda reminds me of the Hawaiian tropic sun tan lotion smell. Coconut, creamy, comforting all the way. Everytime I smell this on my wrist I get slightly relaxed and what a beautiful bottle too :)

woogyjones50

I like this perfume. It opens with a coconut scent but it is not the kind of coconut you smell in a lot of other fragrances. It is not a sweet, but rather a warm and deep representation of coconut that stops it from being too sugary or sweet. As it dries down, you can smell a lovely amber mixed in with the gardenia and tuberose. Rarely can I wear tuberose scents, but it is so subtly mixed in this perfume that it just adds a tiny bit of sweetness to it. Crystal Noir stays for a long time on the skin which is always a bonus. I would suggest giving this one a try if you like the scent of coconut but also enjoy a perfume that is sexy.

Natalia78

Everything that this brand does smells and looks kitch.Including this very fragrance.

BethAshley

There's something about this fragrance that just doesn't work for me -- It's quite possible that we just have bad chemistry :( After reading all of the wonderful reviews and being completely sold by the beautiful bottle and dark sensual image this perfume portrays I badly wanted to love it.

On me it was heavy and stuffy rather than warm and sexy. Overall I felt that it smelt off,there was a note in it that didn't fade which prevented it from mellowing into a desirable scent. I'm fairly sure it was the Gardenia.

mymlan

What a beautiful scent! At first It reminds me of black tea, relaxing and thirst quenching. Then the gardenia starts to bloom and the scent becomes more demanding. It´s an intimate fragrance for evenings and nights. I will definetly buy myself a bottle.

Or NOT!?! Something strange happend here - I got a bad headace after half an hour. Maybe it was the perfume, maybe not... Still love the part that reminds me of tea though. I will have to try it again but I think the gardenia may be too powerful for me.

motavate

I agree, it isn't very dark, and it can be kind of flat, but it is beautiful and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it.

ljubica

It's undeniably very attractive, dark, creamy, cashmere soft, but not completely benign.
I like it, but not enough to buy it.
At least not this month ;)

pimentosugars

This is just a glorious perfume for me; The bottle is fantastic, so top heavy it's like an ornament itself, evocative of the kind of glamour that doesn't need to fit into handbags or bother with being practical. But the scent is the best...
My partner calls it 'intimate.' It is quite monotone but what a tone! Really suits my skin, makes me feel sophisticated and alluring without trying too hard. From a kind of sharp lavish beginning, it fades very slowly (good hold too!) to a clean attractive dry down. Not for hot days, could be overpowering in a shared office, but for any social/evening event absolutely glorious.

Ester

Crystal Noir isn’t good name for this one. There nothing dark about this fragrance, it’s very feminine and soft, but somehow cheap - maybe because of coconut. Very monotone.

scarlett5stam

a dark jewel sparkle...
Notes pleasant feel upon opening the bottle. Better components in this smell, frgrance one that I found with difficulty and it took me a long time to find this extraordinary fragrance.
once discovered, the meaning fulfilling coutures and all of my personality coming. An agreement with my skin as if this perfume was made for my skin. unforgettable as a good smell of childhood.

isalim

I didn't think a coconut could taken and be made to smell so full-bodied, heady and dark, but that is exactly what Crystal Noir does. I do wish I could wear this perfume because the dry down is just gorgeous, however, a lingering opening note which I find rather unpleasant has stopped me - perhaps it is the combination of the aldehydes and amber alongside the coconut, I don't know, but in its opening Crystal Noir smells to me like coconut oil (which others have compared to sun tan lotions), which in my country we use often for cooking, and more so as hair oil. My loss!

rebella

I can understand why not everybody like this, it´s a bit odd. I also got the sun-or bodylotionnotes, but I kind of like them. Together with the coconut it makes the fragrance very creamy and fullbodoed in a way. But the best part is when spraying just a little on my clothes, the lotion notes dissapears but the others remains so I spray some on my skin and some on my collar/sleaves and all togheter it become oriental, powerful and very longlasting. The flowers in it are very strong, sensual and dark.

Like it, don´t love it. Worth a try tough.

LadyJedi

Warm, mysterious and gourmand! A lovely sexy drydown and exceptional lasting power. The bottle is somewhat bulky for me, personally...

Sopranodiva

I LOVE THIS!! I enjoy the deep softness when it drys down for a while. There are very few oriental florals that smell nice on me, but this one does. I personally don't smell the coconut or the tart notes that others have noticed. On me it just smells rich, deep and soft. It is extremely sexy. My husband loves it too. This will be one I will wear often.

kori_an

It is definitely for cold weather and evening wearing...strong, but not heavy,warm and sexy,very long lasting..don`t like the bottle ;-))

Moszatka

I don't like, because very strong the coconut in this. But interesting, specially fragrance.

kiselina

Delicious and sexy, perfume for making love. I like the strong coconut note.

Halvah

It's a very superb scent, yes, but I can't stand it on myself. I haven't met a coconut-dominated fragrance that I would have liked so far:(

mlinde

I had a sample of this from Boggi yesterday (thankyou!) and I love it!
Warm and sensual with a lovely drydown of musk. Quite longlasting (on me) and soft. Definitely something for the coming season, i wonder if I will have to get this one?

mudpach

This is a coconut-bomb, sexy, long lasting, hard fragrance! I love it!

Boggi

I testing it now, and I pretty sure I dont like it. Yes, its interesting, but it smells to synthetic on me. Like Piz Buin sun lotion, but less pleasant. It's a shame, because I love the bottle.

lollynut

OMG
This frag is so elegant and superb for me.
I smell coconut in it.
Make me feel like i lay on the garden in midnight.
The bottle as beautiful as bright crystal.

This is MUST TRY!!!

nannaje

Very, very special. Not for teenagers! Evening wear. Dark and mysterious without being annoying or too overtly sexy. My boyfriend did not like it, though. Smells expensive!

solocha

It is definitely a warm, gourmand and not cheaply made scent. I can smell coconut. Great for evening and special wear.

takemyhusbandplz

Very pretty and unique bottle. Personally, I really like Crystal Noir. On me the amber and what smells exactly like syrupy grapefruit with a very small bit of gardenia & orange come out really nicely. For some reason Crystal Noir smells a bit like Calvin Klein's Euphoria EDP to me. Crystal Noir is very long lasting. It's one of those fragrances that smell really nice on your clothes for days too. A 4 of 5 to me.

guest_Tina

Smells veeeery good. Is the best perfume I ever try. But it is expensive. Very strong, sexy, uhmmm

jeca

It is very interesting fragrance for evening wearing, long lasting, dark and powdery. But it contains some tart notes that I can't stand :-(
