Cristal de Roche (Rock Crystal) is an enigmatic fragrance inspired by the myth surrounding rock crystal and the magical aura created by frankincense. A rare and precious essence, a poetic awakening of the senses. An elixir of rock crystal with a hint of frankincense: Somalian Olibanum, Benzoin and Myrrh...
Centuries ago, rock crystal was thought to be ice that could not be melted, hence the Greek name "krustallos, meaning ice. Over a period of two million years, a mysterious relationship has developed man and rock crystal.
This mineral represents the link between man and nature, the notion of man's place within the universe. A union of man and God. Symbolising protection and purification, rock crystal leads to clarity of mind, soul and body.
Frankincense
A resinous substance venerated for tens of centuries and known as "the celestial fragrance of serenity", Frankincense carries prayers uttered by mortals towards the heavens. Rising columns of fragrant smoke symbolize the joining of heaven and earth. Symbolizing purification, frankincense uplifts the spirit towards divine.
Top notes: orange flower, pepper, coriander, cardamom, cumin
Middle notes: frankincense, olibanum, benzoin, myrrh, cistus
Base notes: sandalwood, cedar and vetiver, everlasting flower, oakmoss, musk.
This is the first fragrance in the collection, it was introduced in 2005.

Cristal de Roche (Rock Crystal) Fragrance Reviews

A masterpiece. Absolutely beautiful scent. Very evocative of a small countryside church. Dry, mineral, herbaceous, incensy. You can almost feel the sun on your face, smell the wood the church is made of, see stones and herbs growing on a cemetery around. And down there at the bottom of the hill the church is on is a village where, like in some H.P. Lovecraft's story, something evil lurks. ;-)

Similar to Olibanum, but I think I prefer Olibanum. Rock Crystal has a spicy note I could do without. And it doesn't have Olibanum's heavenly orange blossom.

Among the Avignon rip-offs the Durbano is probably the most original (which is an euphemism to say that is slightly less literal). The typical church-y cedarwood/incense accord is joined by some spices and other woody notes and it's paired to the usual balmy, sort of synthetic Durbano's signature. Nice but forgettable.

I get a great visual with this fragrance. I see an image of myself huddling near a fire, on the beach at night, my sun-golden skin touching the equally tanned skin of the person next to me, the salt of the sea in my sun-bleached hair from swimming all day. This coupled with a warm and spiritual crystaline glow. This is subtle on my skin, and could project just a bit more, but it's still a lovely work of art. One of my favorites.

I have not said "I love" about a fragrance in a long time. This one is very close to love for me. It is all kitchen spices for me but I really don't think I am detecting any orange flower at all. What I DO get is a beautiful, deep rich pepper, coriander cardamom mixed with myrrh.
I imagine a young man in medieval times riding his horse through the thick forest, his bag laden with spices for to woo his lover. The rich leather is damp with morning dew and richly scented with myrrh, coriander and peppercorn. This is what his bag would smell like. YUMMY!

Catholic woody cristal clear incense. Quite close to CdG ZAGORSK. Beautiful in its simplicity. Incense - the symbol of connection with God. For true incense frags lovers like me. One of the greatest!
