So it is with Cristalle. Chanel introduced the Cristalle fragrance as an Eau de Toilette in 1974. It was developed by perfumer Henri Robert. It was (and is, if you can get your hands on the Eau de Toilette) light, crisp, and sparkling, just a little veil of lemon, fresh herbs and oakmoss with lots of green and a few flower petals thrown in for good measure (other notes include bergamot, jonquil, jasmine, honeysuckle, rosewood, hyacinth and vetiver). I started wearing it in the late 1970s and I adored it. The first spritz was always so bright and sharp, it cut right through the heat and humidity of a Washington, DC summer. The lasting power was negligible, but you can’t get that kind of light, crisp and sparkling and staying power, that is just how it is.
The product is old has stated discontinued, however the perfume is dark and not light in color. Thx

Cristalle is the definitely the best of all Chanel scents. Not cloying like Chanel No. 5, or overpowering like Coco. Because this is a older formulation, Cristalle does NOT contain any fake ingredients as almost all new perfumes do (like benzophenone, which : 1. can cause cancer, and 2. turns and starts to reek in a hour). Cristalle lasts ALL day (and I mean from 9 in the morning to 10 at night) without fading. Love this fragrance. Go to a Chanel counter and try it yourself.
Was hard to appreciate in the beginning this beautiful perfume. I was disappointed at first. Oh well - blind buy. Some time latter I've tried again an again and was pleasantly surprised by the comments of people around me. Its soooo green and soft. Its not contemporary green. Its naturally green. Something like an oak wood after the rain or flower stem.I do not smell any flowers. Not for the flower lowers.
Smells good.
