Wow! What a pleasant surprise! This perfume is unexpectedly earthy, herbaceous, and classy… I love how the oakmoss anchors and connects the citrus within the composition, preventing the bitterness of the lemon and bergamot from dominating and perforating the fragrance structure. The hyacinth and jacaranda lend depth and harmony to the rest of the notes. The vetiver definitely gives it a sharp, masculine edge, making this fragrance have incredible unisex potential. If it has sharp, lemony, and vetiver edges until the final stage, these notes, although slightly bitter, do not bother or irritate the olfactory senses. Additionally, the perfume possesses a constant earthy background that reminds me much of the smell of wet earth… It also reminds me a lot of A Scent by Issey Miyake. Compared to ‘A Scent’, Cristalle is more linear, it does not change or evolve much, but it does remain slightly sweet until the end. I feel it as earthy, very green, slightly powdery at the end, and above all sophisticated and reserved from start to finish. It has moderate projection and longevity; I recommend re-applying the perfume after a few hours as it is truly very refreshing and also makes the aroma remain like a soft breeze on the skin.
A colleague at work wears this perfume. It is not necessary to see her or hear her voice to know she has arrived, and when she comes to greet me, she always leaves the aroma of this perfume impregnated on me for hours. It is one of those unforgettable and elegant perfumes.

I like this perfume a lot. It is very ‘herbaceous’, it smells of earth, green grass, and wet fields. It is a clean aroma, nothing heavy, nothing overpowering. It is the typical summer perfume, fresh and refreshing; I couldn’t imagine wearing it in cold weather. What I distinguish most is the moss; the other notes are perceived a little, but on my skin at least this is what ‘settles’ and lingers, although it always has a citrus background that gives it that freshness. I don’t perceive it as unisex at all. In short, I like it quite a bit for the warm seasons.
I tried it today and I loved it: herbal, clean but with a soft and feminine finish. Light and fresh but with very good longevity; I tried it on my wrist more than eight hours ago and it still lingers. It will probably be my next purchase.
The 60s were ending with their hallucinogenic expansion in the East and heavy musks; perfumery was exploring new sensations, and Cristalle is a wink to Mademoiselle and its youth era, a green, earthy, and citrusy Chypre, deeply delicate with a hint of artisanal cologne. It was the era of Ô by Lancôme, Eau de Rochas, L’Eau Libre by YSL, and the sweet marine freshness of Estivalia… perfumery sought to adorn a modern woman, something naif who moved socially in an energetic way without losing romance and femininity. I would have loved to try the original version full of oakmoss, which crowns all Chypres with a wild nature air; however, new regulations have meant I can only smell its synthetic derivative. The current version seems a bit watery… it’s not that it’s bad or common, quite the opposite… it’s just as if it lacked depth, or perhaps it’s my predisposition knowing the current version doesn’t contain the natural component. The batch is fresh and citrusy, with a natural lemon and slightly sweet crossed by green traces with herbaceous tones… as if we had ground the fruit leaves with our hands. Then oakmoss and wood… with a touch of damp earth and mould… crossed again by sweetness, but this time slightly spicy from the wood. A soft, light aroma but with good longevity and a classic cologne touch; those who like Ô by Lancôme will like Cristalle… Still, I suppose it lasted longer and smelled deeper before.
Fantastic. Despite being addicted to oriental scents, Cristalle smells green and fresh. It’s original; after that cold, potent trail, the sweetness of hyacinth emerges with a spicy, bitter touch. It lasts a long time. It’s my favourite among green aromas. I detect a hippie, fun vibe that makes me want to pull my sky-blue Citroën 2CV out of the garage on summer days to flood the dashboard. On weekends, with the roof down and the wind in my hair, it accompanies me. They laugh when I say I want a psychedelic polyester onesie; it must be this wild fragrance’s fault.
I find it fantastic. Despite being addicted to oriental scents, as a green and fresh perfume, Cristalle is incredible. I find it original; within its cold and potent trail, the subtle sweetness of the hyacinth emerges over time, but with a certain cheekiness that gives it a bitter touch. On my skin, it has excellent longevity. It is my favourite among scents imbued with greenery and freshness. I detect a hippie and fun touch that makes me dust off my beloved light blue Citroën 2 CV from the garage in summer and flood its dashboard with Cristalle. With the roof down on windy weekends, we go for a drive and Cristalle accompanies me. They laugh when I tell my family I fancy buying a polyester jumpsuit with psychedelic prints… it must be the fault of this wild fragrance.
This perfume stole my friend Laura’s entire adolescence (poor thing, she thought it was evaporating!). It was my dream. When I wanted to buy it, it wasn’t entering the country. After years, I spotted it in a Free Shop and it seemed to me it wasn’t the same… but I bought it anyway because I loved its fresh and persistent aroma. I wouldn’t wear it now, but I would gift it to my 15-year-old goddaughter.
They have reformulated it, and now it smells too much like a churro. The intense freshness that characterised it before is no longer noticeable. What a pity.
I picked up this fragrance today. Although I was craving the Eau Verte, I decided on this one and have no regrets. It is the most herbal, fresh, and woody scent I have ever tried; I absolutely love it. The longevity and sillage are good. I recommend it: even though it’s a vintage fragrance, it is excellent and very distinct.
Just a few days ago I had the opportunity to try this EDT; luckily for me, in its unrefurbished version, and the truth is, I sighed with relief. Immediately, I was transported to a deep, humid green jungle, with mist and lots of moss. It is exotic, fresh, mysterious, and in the good sense of the word, not very luminous, but rather dark, very elegant. Perhaps for that reason, I would dare to say it is not a perfume for a sunny day at the beach; I almost feel it is a winter scent. In the end, I noticed a great similarity with Quartz, a fragrance that I also feel is nothing for summer. I fell in love with its darkness.
The 1970s continued to uphold the legacy of aromatic citrus scents that seem never to go out of fashion. Citrus notes with plenty of moss and woods were the pillars defining these refreshing fragrances (which flirted with chypres) and were so in demand by an increasingly unisex public. Examples include Eau Libre (1975), Eau de Guerlain (1974), and 0 by Lancôme (late 1960s), among others. Cristalle by Chanel was also destined for the podium. As soon as we spray the fragrance, we can sense an aroma with sparks of lemon and bergamot, very refreshing and slightly sweet. Perhaps the most interesting aspect is that these notes are accompanied by a well-crafted vetiver, calm but present, with a fresh, enveloping natural moss. There is a woody touch within the fragrance that is one of its most relevant attractions, perhaps one of the notes that boosts the fragrance to last a little longer than usual. If we compare it with another giant citrus from the era, Eau de Rochas (1970), clearly the two are very similar, but in Rochas, the contribution of grapefruit and a more bitter lemon make the fragrance sour-sweet, especially in the top notes. Eau de Rochas is slightly spiced with soft patchouli, while Cristalle is a bit more woody. Over time, comparing the two, Cristalle also shows more predominance in the floral aspect (hyacinth). Two fragrances that handle the same concept; sometimes, by comparing them, one can study each better. Two great titans of seventies citrus, very mass-market. An interesting contribution from the Chanel house.
This is my favourite fragrance of all time, or should I say my platonic love? I adore it, yet it rejects me. No matter how many bottles I’ve bought, whether the current formula, more vintage, or anything in between… it just doesn’t suit me. One needs the right hanger to wear it… and I say, I am a little elegant, aren’t I? Well, nothing to do about it. This perfume was made for four people who wear it like a glove. Go to the Chanel counter, ask them to pull a tester from the drawer, and spin the roulette: if he wants to dress you and you like green, dry scents that smell of pure nature with more class than Preysler, you’ve won the lottery.
It smells of luxury and cleanliness; very pleasant. It conveys calm and serenity. I don’t consider this fragrance for daily wear, but rather as an occasional indulgence now and then.
Bought blind. A bold risk given the price and because it’s marketed as a ‘women’s’ scent (I’m a man), but I didn’t fail. Cristalle is a contemporary classic, a greener, floral version of Eau Sauvage. I let my mother smell it without telling her; she loved it, thought it was perfect, and it reminded her of years gone by. The opening recalls Antaeus with that citrus explosion that can be disconcerting. Then it evolves into a duet of bitter herbs and flowers. This dance makes it unisex (if you like florals). It progresses with hyacinth, citrus, and moss. It’s very fresh, cool as they say. If you want something similar but less floral, Eau de Courrèges is a great alternative at half the price. It’s subtle and elegant, with a beautiful aura.
Blind bought. Quite a bold move given it’s not cheap and is marketed as a women’s fragrance (I’m a man), but once I tried it, I felt relieved I hadn’t made a complete mess of things. Cristalle is a contemporary classic. It’s a slightly greener, yet floral version of Eau Sauvage. I let my mother smell it without telling her it was ‘for women’; she loved it, thought it was perfect, and said it reminded her of something she’d heard years ago. The opening reminded me of Antaeus and other fragrances from that era, with that citrus explosion that can even be disconcerting for a moment or two. Then it evolves into a duo that recalls the bitterness of freshly plucked herbs alongside the floral notes. It is this interplay that, in my opinion, allows it to play in the unisex territory (provided you like florals). The fragrance moves forward with a hyacinth note paired with a citrus element, all settled over moss. It’s very fresh… cold, as some correctly say. If you fancy something in the same style but less floral, Eau de Courrèges is a magnificent alternative (at less than half the price). It is one of those subtle fragrances with great elegance, enveloping us in a beautiful aura.
I was once in a house with a beautiful jasmine vine; the nights smelled of it and the hard, green lemons we cut for lemonade, leaving our hands perfumed for hours. I wanted a perfume with those ingredients, and here it is: an almost bitter opening from the citrus, then it mutates and all the ingredients unite in an elegant, luminous aroma, like a ray of sun in the forest. Beautiful, nothing stands out more than the other. The dry-down is wonderful; I loved it.
A few days ago I was in a house with a beautiful jasmine vine; the nights spent there were perfumed by its lovely scent along with that of the lemons we cut to make lemonade, some green-skinned, hard, very aromatic lemons that left your hands perfumed for an hour. I thought I would like a perfume with those ingredients; and here came this beautiful perfume, with an almost bitter opening due to the citrus, then it mutates and all the ingredients join to give an elegant, luminous scent, like a ray of sunlight filtering into the most leafy part of a forest. Beautiful, I do not feel that one stands out more than the other. The dry-down is wonderful; I have loved it.
My first olfactory experience: I found a bottle when I was four years old looking at my grandmother’s things… and everything changed. I can remember its smell almost forty years later; THAT, gentlemen, is what a real perfume is called. Unforgettable, a class and art experience. As I would love to get a bottle of those, I have and will continue to collect various cypresses, orientals, greens, fougères, but this is something else. It is cold as its name but so powerful that it invites you to press your nose against whoever wears it, of course, and only if they allow it.
Pathetic decline for this scent. I have been using it since the 80s and still keep a little bit of a bottle bought in 2015. This new reformulation not only lasts half a sigh but does not even resemble the original. On top of that, it has the grace of disappearing completely to resurface after a good while with some solitary, isolated, bland, and alien notes. The current Cristalle is dislocated, dismantled, without balance or harmony. I do not like it; it is definitive that I will not buy it again (and I will look for vintage, as there is still some). What a rip-off…
Pathetic decline. I’ve been using it since the 80s and have a stash of a 2015 bottle. This new version doesn’t last half a sigh and bears no resemblance at all. Moreover, it disappears only to reappear later with solitary, isolated, and foreign notes. The current Cristalle is disjointed, dismantled, lacking balance and harmony. I don’t like it. I definitely won’t buy any more (I’ll look for vintage). What a rip-off…
What a pity! I tried it at El Corte Inglés. The opening is a sigh; pressing my nose to it, a faint reminiscence of what it once was arrives. Then it changes to something like ‘herb?’ and finally disappears. I went up the escalators and by the time I reached the third floor, nothing remained. I’m not crying, I’m just very angry because it was coming. Now the counters are inherited and Olivier Polge arrives to, as some pretentious person might say, deconstruct an unforgettable fragrance. Even the bottle design! Fragrance.net should change the creator’s name to Henri Robert and list the real notes, because there’s no trace of what is listed here. 👊🏼
What a pity! I tried it a few days ago at the El Corte Inglés stand. The opening is a sigh, and pressing my nose to the skin, a faintest reminiscence of what it once was arrives. Immediately, it changes to something like ‘herb?’ and finally disappears. I was going down the escalators, and by the time I reached the third floor, nothing remained. I am not crying because I am very angry, especially because it was coming. Now the posts are inherited, and Olivier Polge has arrived to, as some snob might say, deconstruct an unforgettable fragrance. Even the bottle design! Fragantica should change the creator’s name from Henri Robert to this one (let each put in the adjective they prefer) and please list the real notes because there is no trace of what is listed here.
It is my teenage and young adult perfume; my soulmate friend associates it with me, and that makes me proud. It is fresh, youthful, and elegant. A few summers ago, I bought a large bottle just for my eldest daughter’s graduation—the same one that accompanied me in mine. She chose another Chanel wonder, Chance Eau Tendre. Perfumes connect us with memories and emotions: Cristalle takes me back to that joy and spontaneity. Although I now feel more comfortable with other scents, I occasionally return to it to appreciate it with fond memories when my daughters wear it, even though they prefer sweeter notes. For me, Cristalle is always wonderful.
