Cristal
Fragrance notes
Character
Pink pepper and bergamot lead the way with a bright, slightly fizzy lift that feels like stepping out into cool air after a rain. Green apple adds a crisp bite next to the tart black currant, while orange smooths the edges so the opening stays friendly rather than sharp. The fruit here is vivid and transparent, not syrupy, and it moves quickly into the softer layers without clinging too heavily to the skin.
Earl Grey tea brings a gentle, slightly tannic calm to the heart, where lily and jasmine float alongside rose in a classic white floral arrangement. Mango and apricot give the flowers a juicy, golden warmth, but the iris keeps the blend grounded with a soft, powdery texture. It smells like a quiet morning indoors with sunlight hitting a glass of iced tea on a wooden table.
Patchouli and sandalwood form a creamy, woody base that feels smooth rather than dark or dirty. Ambergris and white musk add a clean, slightly salty warmth, while vanilla wraps the whole drydown in a thin, comfortable blanket. The woods never turn aggressive, and the musk stays light enough to let the fruity top notes echo faintly through the later stages.
Composed by Thomas Fontaine, Cristal balances its many notes without letting any single element dominate for too long. It suits someone who enjoys a floral that also has something green and woody to say, and it feels at home in a bright room with windows open to a fresh breeze
