Cristalle (for women)

Designer: Chanel Olfactive Group: Chypre Floral
Pictures

Eau de toilette Cristalle was created in 1974, by the famous Chanel perfume creator Henri Robert. A perfect and pure fragrance composition reminds of an ideally lined crystal. Clear green notes reveal a wide spectrum: from green spicy basil to sweet petitgrain, a perfect beginning followed by exuberant eruption of lemon and bergamot freshness. The green note of galbanum unites the citrus notes and extends their glorious melody. The heart is composed of hyacinth and jasmine, but their luxuriance is subordinate to the perfect lines of the entire composition. The base includes oak moss and wood.

The perfume belongs to the floral-chypre olfactive group. Eau de parfum Cristalle was created by Jacques Polge in 1993. While EDT is mysterious and astringent 'chypre', eau de parfum is sweeter and richer. The verdure of the top notes is significantly moderated, and bergamot is replaced by sweet mandarin. Juicy peach and melon repel the dark notes characteristic for EDT, and bring out the whole composition to the daylight. Exotic luxury of ylang-ylang and jasmine contrasts the soily nuance of vetiver and oak moss. Cristalle was launched in 1974.

Very clean, crisp, structured. I always see green when I smell this. And I always wear a well-ironed white shirt to the office when I put this on. It's a very professional, smart scent.

I think I saw on another perfume website that there are two types of Cristalle. The original Cristalle Eau de Toilette was made in 1974, which is the one I'm more familiar with, as a sharp citrusy metallic perfume that has incredible sillage and smells great on everyone else but me.

Well today, I stopped by the store to see if they have Cristalle and they have the Eau de Parfum which was made in 1994(?) by someone else, and man, this smells totally different from the original Cristalle. I'm surprised they gave it the same name. I tried it on myself to see if my skin likes it better than the original. After the initial blast of a mostly "lime zest" smell, it dries down on my skin into something like a soapy watered-down version of "Sunflowers." Not the 1974 Cristalle I remember at all. Oh well!
