Cristobal pour Homme Cristobal Balenciaga for men

To me, this smells just like the unisex fragrance "Gaultier 2" by Jean Paul Gaultier. Agree?

Although I own both this and Gaultier 2, I would prefer to wear this rare hard-to-find (lately) fragrance over the common department store-carried Gaultier 2 any day.

This isn't my favorite type of fragrance, but it is perfect for the professional, sophisticated, classy, suit-and-tie, mature man. You only need to wear a little, otherwise, it might be too much.

My favorite. Masculine yet smooth. Like sky76sky
has put it THIS IS PURE CLASS ;)

I remember sampling this 10 years ago, I loved it but didn't buy it because it was too similar to Envy. Similar, not better. So what would have been the point?

I managed to buy a bottle of Cristobal by Balenciaga. After reading the reviews I still don't find similarity with Rochas Man, sorry.
However it strongly reminds me of Joop! Homme. I don't know why since the don't share many notes but still, Cristobal is 80% Joop! Homme, only a bit muted and bit sweeter. It's the quiet introverted version of Joop!.
Anyway, more wearable than Joop! too, a safer choice. I like it!

How I miss the original Balenciaga for men, the one in the white square bottle with the green malichite lid? Oh well! It was simply perrrrfect and I loved smelling it on my man, now I guess we have to be satisfied with this. I wish he would bring back the original!

people can you tell me is this one similar to the female version(Cristobal for women)??/thanx

It is indeed somewhat similar to Rochas Man, but i prefer this one, since the flower notes are muted and it smells beautiful.

People help!!!

Where can I get this one???

That's how hooked I am!

hm my opinion is, that this is a heartbreak scent, that knocks you down, when you use it in right moment...fantastic,,,not so good as joop homme, but almost so great

Now this is pure class. Restrained, refined, strongly masculine yet sweetly smooth.

On a girl like me the vanilla-amber-cedar dry down is devine - clean, yet warm & soft. On men I have noted that their natural man-muskiness changes this into a more husky, lightly spicy tobacco affair, which is delightful. It's sweet, it's spicy, it's warm, it's woody but everything has been combined with skill & such a light touch that all the notes meld & merge harmoniously into one...which screams class.

This is ideal for the office (I agree with the previous reviews, apply sparingly). It is very self-assured. My friend describes it as his wedding-party scent as it has good breeding, intrigues friends & charms quality ladies. I think he expects a bit too much from his fragrance, but agree that it is a scent that needs a wearer that embodies such qualities.

Excellent cologne. Suitable for cooler temperatures. I agree with the previous poster that Cristobal is powerful. One spray or two short spritz are enough. Vaguely similar to Rochas Man but classier in my opinion.

Extremely masculine and powerful, more than 2 sprays is dangerous! Very classy and one of the longest lasting fragrances. A good choice for formal settings, a little too much for daily use. I'd recommend this for 30+ gentleman.
