Please note: As an olfactory zero number, as usual you only get my subjective sensory impressions from me and no individual odor components.
Crystal Noir has been on my list of fragrances to try for so long and a few days ago I finally had the opportunity! Because I'm a cautious person, I only gave it a spritz on my wrist and, as usual, didn't smell it for the first few minutes, as most fragrances are far too intense for me right at the start. So I "smelled it away". Just a few moments later, however, this was no longer so easy.
Where I come from, there is the term "rass" for smells and "rassel" for someone or something that exudes this smell. "Rattle" can have different odor causes, the best way to describe it is "pungent, sharp smell". I, or rather my wrist, definitely rattled. And what I sniffed out this time reminded me strongly of the droppings left by cats to mark their territory. I had been marked!
Unfortunately, I was still on the move and the smell got stronger and stronger. It poked ungraciously into my nose every time I moved, bit at the tip of my nose and left me no peace. It had no color, no shape, no mildness. Just a thousand sharp blades whirling around. Me, the car, my woolen coat... everything had absorbed this smell, everything was marked. Sillage and durability 10/10.
Finally at home, I washed my wrist thoroughly. 1x, 2x, 3x. It still sticks to me. So with a root brush - no chance. For another 7 hours, I could still smell it very clearly on my wrist. Sillage and durability 10/10, did I already say that? And even worse: my coat! Wool or not, after it "scented" the whole house as it hung on the coat rack, it went into the washing machine. The next day and a lot of water later, I didn't notice any remnants. But that was an act.
Conclusion: simply no. And I love cats! But I never want to be tagged again.

I have already cleaned one or two cat toilets and can't understand why you equate it with this. Is everything right with your olfactory organ?

Unfortunately, your review only says that you think the fragrance is absolutely wrong. I would have found it more interesting if you had described what it smells like. I can't really imagine that kittypee is supposed to be the dominant note in the perfume, because I love the eau de toilette and wear it quite often - and you can't even remotely sense cat pee. Even the eau de parfum, which is considerably heavier than the EDT, doesn't have any feline animalism to offer. Therefore, unfortunately, not very helpful.

Award! Wittily written. I know that too: marked by a perfume, like a tomcat on patrol.

No offense, but I think your introductory sentence is rather strange. "Olfactory zero" really curls my nostrils. Parfumo is first and foremost an amateur forum. All impressions are clearly subjective. What else could they be? It may well be that professional noses hang around here from time to time, but I think this is the exception. You are welcome to refrain from belittling yourself for all I care. If you can manage that, you will certainly be able to incorporate other olfactory components than just cat pee here soon. 😉

@NoseDose: Unmolested? No way! After all, we're here to let our nostrils take wing. 😄 So feel free to give me a dose of your nose... anytime.

I am growing and learning! May your nostrils remain untroubled in the future 😉

Oh dear, I tested that once too. Fortunately only on a paper strip 😅 but I didn't like it either. But I recently had Opium Le Parfum stuck to my winter jacket. It also smelled for about 2 weeks. It didn't make me nauseous, but it did bother me 😂 So be careful when testing it on your wrist ☺️
