Versace Crystal Noir is based around the gardenia, a flower that is sweet, fragrant yet subtle. The heart notes take this fresh and crisp gardenia and blend it with amber which has been purified almost to transparency for a sensuous and seductive result. The gardenia is sensual, luminous, rich and almost creamy. Blending it with warm, strong amber creates a wonderful contradiction, like two sides of every woman: sweet and sensual, earthy and sophisticated.
