Product Description
What is a Tester?: Testers come in the original manufactured packaging and may be labeled Demonstration or Not for Sale. Testers are intended for promotional display and therefore, may lack the designer caps and fancy outer box packaging. Cristalle is a fresh, fruity chypre fragrance first introduced in 1977. Chanel relaunched Cristalle in 1993 with a richer floral blend in the eau de parfum concentration. Cristalle is a wonderfully vibrant and youthful fragrance ideal for summer.

A Subtle, Sublime Woodsy Fragrance - Very Classy! October 11, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Many years ago, I was browsing through Sacks Fifth Ave., looking for a fresh, spring/summer scent that would suit me. The saleswoman was extremely helpful, and spent some time discussing various perfumes with me, as well as spritzing different paper strips with sample scent, rather than my arm. I preferred light, transparent woodsy scents - subtle. Chanel had just launched a new perfume, in 1974, which combined the fresh, fruity tang of lemon from Italy, light spring floral notes of Honeysuckle and Water Hyacinth, and pulled it all together with the woodsy charm of Vetiver and oakmoss.
Vetiver has a delightful smoky woodsy fragrance which is frequently blended with geranium and jasmine. It is a tall, dense, wild grass with long narrow leaves and a strand of underground white, yellow and brown roots and is sought after for its calming, protective, soothing and uplifting characteristics. Vetiver can be found in Java, Haiti, Japan, Indonesia and South India.
I find it goes deliciously well with the above ingredients and leaves one feeling clean, fresh, intimate and very sexy. There is no astringent smell or feel to Cristalle, unlike many "fresh scents," nor is it too heady or heavy. Cristalle is a stimulating fragrance and an excellent perfume for day wear, especially in warm weather and for sports. I also wear it on warm evenings as I prefer the crisp, woodsy scent to the sweeter flowery ones in the heat. Because it is so subtle, it is ideal for the workplace also, used sparingly.
Chanel relaunched Cristalle in 1993 with a richer floral blend in the eau de parfum concentration with a slightly fruiter chypre base. The changes did not impact my opinion at all. It is still an outstanding fragrance, one of my very few favorites.
I have worn "Cristalle" for thirty years now, and it has carried me through various life phases beautifully and smoothly. An absolute feel good perfume! ENJOY!
PS - I just noted that one of the other reviewers mentions that Chris Noth ("Law & Order," "Sex in the City"), is Wowed by Cristalle! Makes sense, I am Wowed by Chris Noth!!

This stuff is amazing. So much so that in a celebrity review of scents, CHRIS NOTH (from Sex & the City) went crazy over it. Trust me...you'll have to beat the guys off with this.
