Chanel Cristalle

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, soil and roots, like a forest floor after rain.

It opens on sicilian lemon and bergamot, moves through hiacynth, brazilian rosewood and honeysuckle, and settles on oakmoss and vetiver.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• brazilian rosewood: a warm, rosy, slightly spicy wood. Nothing to do with the rose flower

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
