hasn't had much wear since I bought it in the Spring.  ❓"Crystal Noir (Eau de Toilette) | Versace" 30ml One of the most confusing perfumes in terms of notes/formulation.

is "The Bug | Lush / Cosmetics To Go". Protest. Unsettling and disjointed, like the official description of the fragrance says. Luthen Rael's sunrise on Scarif. Photo © Lempi. I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do.
