Cristal Zest

As a student with a limited budget to pursue and experiment with fragrances, this was a good choice to go for. I love scents on the fresher side, and can never ignore notes of orange or citrus. The components of the earl grey is a great touch adding depth and the dry down leaves an almost sun-kissed warmth to me. Would like it to have better longevity but at this price point it's absolutely fantastic. My go-to during the warmer months, and I enjoy using it every time.

This fragrance has some similarities with Bvlgari’s The Vert and EA’s Green Tea. As far as tea based scents go, Thé Yulong is fantastic and this ‘Cristal Zest’ is a rather good dupe of ‘Yulong’. Performance might be slightly weaker than the original but it’s still decent.

A much better attempt at LV Imagination’s DNA than Zara’s Sunrise on the red sand dunes, this one actually has a good opening which is very fresh,crisp and lively and the drydown is smooth too.. not as ambroxan heavy and complex as Imagination though.

In a next few days I will finally buy it! It's been sold out for a reason. Has it fresh but warm citrus notes great on its own or blended. Overall great value. Reminds me of Zeste de Soleil by Cartier, but better longevity .

I tried a sample of this and it smelled like Montblanc Starwalker. The Montblanc has more depth because of the other ingredients but if you want a simpler perfume with precise notes, I'd pick Massimo Dutti.
