Which Should You Buy?
Cristalle EDT is a divisive classic: for some, a masterpiece of cool, green sophistication; for others, an outdated, sharp, or even 'skanky' relic. It's Chanel at its most stark and natural, promising elegance but demanding a certain appreciation for its vintage charm.
A divisive citrus classic, Eau de Rochas splits opinion with its sharp, vintage charm. Some find it a refreshing summer essential, while others are put off by its 'old-school' or 'masculine' edge. Love it or hate it, it's certainly got character.
