I’m usually quite ok with orientals but this isn’t for me. It’s a spicy opening of cardamom which settles into a powdery soapy scent. People say it’s the new formulation of crystal noir, but I find it underwhelming and honestly the spicy opening isn’t the best. I would imagine that this is not a safe gift for anyone. You have to love oriental smelling perfumes to like it. It’s pleasant but not the best from Versace.
