Cristalle Eau Verte

The opening of Cristalle Eau Verte is revolving around a sparkling lemon with hues of white flowers in the background. In this stage Cristalle Eau Verte smells like an expensive lemonade (although somebody else told me it reminded them more of vitamin c fizzy tablets) - refreshing and delicious. This might be the best opening I have experienced so far in a summer fragrance. 40 minutes in, it gets greener but retains its citric core notes, a dynamic that keeps on going for the next few hours. At hour 3, the fragrance's formerly clear citric heart gets muddled by the iris and the magnolia. Despite this being the stage of CEV's development that I liked the least, it is still pleasant enough. For ther next four to five hours, the florals become comparatively strong, but they are always on a sour, green and dry side. Here, the scent gets more and more beautiful again. At its final stage, from hour 7 to 11 (!), what you get is a soft, smooth lemon. Cristalle Eau Verte is a very well-done citrus scent, perfect for summer - kind of what I wish Goutal's Eau d'Hadrien had been. This one really IS all about the citrus and still manages do develop into various distinct stages. In this fragrance, I hardly get any sweetness at all - even the floral notes lean bitter. My overall impression is, that CEV is a light, tasteful and skillfully blended product that is a tad unusual but still perfectly workplace-safe. I do recommend this one for any gender and age- it's a beautiful summer scent. TL;DR: expensive lemonade, transparent bitter green with lemon core

Cristalle Eau Verte is a very contemporary, chic and natural scent. Despite its naming as green water, Cristalle Eau Verte is nowhere near a sharp green scent, but rather relies on lemon and bergamot with a following combination of nondescript jasmine and magnolia in the mix. Neroli s also noticeable in this citrus-floral perfume. Sheer, cologne-like and thus genderless, youthful, clean and sunny, it reminds you of a relaxing vacation. Needless to say it's a classic choice in spring and summer. Carefree and soothing. Also, sensual. In a blind test I would have never thought it's a flanker of Cristalle, although I know Cristalle very well, so Cristalle Eau Verte stands alone. Also I wonder why nobody hasn't commented on the sprayer! It's hands down the best sprayer in perfume bottle I've ever encountered; it distributes the perfume in the widest way possible, with only two sprays my whole neck was covered with the scent. Lastly, all those females who find Chanel perfumes as granny/old lady style ( I hate these terms, but let's be real, that's how they characterize them) should really give Cristalle Eau Verte a chance, it surpasses Gabrielle in my opinion and 5 L'eau, both in execution and longevity, and it's youthful without being cheap-tacky-fruity as countless newer perfume offerings for young women Sillage is very good in the beginning. After two hours it sits closer to the skin and survives for at least five hours.

I have had my eye on this fragrance since it first came out. I smelled it at nordstome and I loved it. I finally decided to get it. Its not cheap but I think it was worth every penny! WOW!!! I think this is a perfect fragrance to wear for summer! I sprayed my arm with it 2x when I got home. I was hit with a refreshing burst of lemon and bergamot, then honeysuckle accord and Jasmine, finally the most beautiful dry down of abstract white flowers and neroli. This has a long lasting flirty very flirty sexy smell. It reminds me of bvlgari crystalline very sheer and transparent, but they are a little different in their own little way. When you think it has worn off and you don't smell it anymore, people around you can still smell it. This is crazy, but I was standing around someone and this was hours after I applied cristalle verte, I sprayed it around my neck, well... I thought it was her, I told my friend wow you smell sooo good, she said Im not wearing any perfume she said that is you smelling good! I was really shocked because I was thinking like other reviewers on here, I cant smell it...I was really really happy to hear that! Its like freshly made lemonade in the summer time and a bouquet of freshly cut fragrant white flowers, I just love it, it smells good! I think this is going to be my summer scent and I will give it a little rest sometimes and wear bvlgari crystalline also! Really great for anytime wear and 25+ :D

Very good scent! So simple, crisp and modestly green, every way beautiful, even heavenly. If there really is magnolia here then this by far the best expression of it that I have experienced so far (the other two I have tried in the past are also good but much stronger and more specific, more distinguishable). Edit over a month later: still having used my tester makes me feel that despite the thigh price, I have to get a bigger amount of this somehow, it is just too much perfect and enjoyable! It has slowly moved to the category "6 points out of 5" in my book... Edit2 on 5.5.25: Got it at last for a very good price. This scent is just unbelievable... The highest form of (magnolia) freshness. I already bought Pour Monsieur in between as a replacement because they are similar. Pour Monsieur is certainly woodier and slightly sweeter too. Cristalle Eau Verte is unisex. The Bvlgari's Mon Jasmin Noir L'Eau Exquise is mentioned as similar -- well, I have that incredible scent as well and yes, they are similar, Bvlgari's one is a lot sweeter. These two and Pour Monsieur seem to grasp a certain spring freshness in a perfect way. These three are light green by the smell -- exactly as the colour suggests. Edit3 on 12.07.25: After having used it a lot during my vacation it turned out that it doesn't last much on clothes where I mostly use my perfumes. I had to reapply this 3-4 times a day.

I had never heard of this Cristalle flanker. Generally speaking, I didn't OG Cristalle particularly well either until I purchased the EDT a few years ago to get to know it better, but I was certainly aware of it's existence. In retrospect, I wish I had gone for the EDP over the EDT, but in the end, the important thing is that my interest in Cristalle is what brought Eau Verte into my life, and I love it! I'm not a big fan of citrus scents generally speaking. They work well if you crave something refreshing in the heat, but the notes themselves don't tend to capture my fancy. But throw a little clean, non-cloying, and non-indolic magnolia in the mix, and my fancy has been caught! Like it's mother, Eau Verte doesn't seem so much to attach itself to my skin, but instead it gives me this illusion of floating around me, not on me. While moderate, I must say that I am pleasantly surprised with both the longevity and slight projection it possesses. It will even leave a soft sillage in it's wake when sprayed on clothes that flow with you when you walk. Being Chanel, naturally there are also exquisite flowers lending support, all balanced on a cloud of musk. This is easily one of the best blind buys I have ever made, and I am looking forward to wearing it in the heat, giving me a refreshing citrus/floral blast without sacrificing an ounce of sophistication.
