This was a blind buy. If you aren't well-acquainted with chypre fragrances, Cristalle may hit you offensively as it did for me. The only other chypre fragrance I own is Chloe's Nomade. For...

I would have to call this my second favorite fragrance ever (see my review for my first favorite, Royal Doulton). This fragrance is quite interesting, it is a little bit lemony but not too sharply...

I fell in love with Chanel’s Cristalle in 1995 and I still love it but it but it doesn’t smell like the original. I thought maybe it was just me until I saw your reformulated list. I won’t...

The Fragrantica site reminded me that Chanel and Guerlain often used different compositions for EdT and EdP. My review is for vintage EdT, created in 1974, that Fragrantica calls an astringent...

Years ago a friend came back from a trip to Europe and had bought this fragrance, I tried and hated it. About 2 years ago, I tried it at Nordstrom and loved it! It smelled like citrus and...

As much as I tried to love this perfume, I couldn't. It was a gift from a friend, and I could never tell her how badly I thought this stunk. The smell reminds me of pine needles mixed in with...

I recently purchased the EDP version of this fragrance, and perhaps it's been reformulated because of IFRA restrictions on oakmoss. I never wore this before, so I have nothing to compare to past...

Like a walk through a wet forest in the spring... This is a review for the EDT. This fragrance, whilst being a classic, is certainly (not) for everyone! What hits me upon initial impression...

This is my signature scent which I have been wearing for years. I absolutely adore it but only tend to wear it for best because it is outrageously expensive to buy. I only ever buy this duty free...

This is supposed to be a sparkling Woody Citrus but the citrus/lemon notes fade quickly into a classic dusty chypre drydown. Smells ok, I like the boardroom-serious personality of the scent and the...

You can't argue with top-of-the-line quality. Chanel is reliable and delivers predictable outcomes, very classy. This was first introduced to me by my mom's friend, who sold Avon. I was only about...

Of the many fragrances I own they all have their own story. Cristalle was introduced to me in a plastic surgeon's house on the beach in Florida. I was told to use their daughter's bathroom to...

I usually find chypres have a dusty quality to them that I just can't stomach. But Chanel Cristalle EDT exemplifies the cool, dry green that you would think oakmoss should feature. It is crisp and...

It kills me to say I wouldn't buy Cristalle again. It's a showstopper for me - sharp, clean but complicated in it's own way, elegant, lovely, and also triggers massive migraines. I love it so much...

This is NOT my type of scent. Florals give me migraines. Oakmoss makes me recoil. I dont like anything subdued. I am a card carrying spicy- amber- vanilla type of girl. Unfortunately, my husband is...

The original Cristalle (1974) was my one and only frangrance love from the time I first discovered it in the early 80s. It was so citrusy-fresh and light. True, it was not long lasting but the...
