Which Should You Buy?
A beast-mode, room-filling gourmand that dials up the cinnamon, vanilla, and coffee to decadent heights. Not for the faint-hearted or summer days-this is the ultimate cold-weather attention grabber for those who want to be noticed.
Mon Cristal is a divisive rose gourmand; a full-on, unashamedly sweet affair. You'll either adore its rich, jammy caramel-rose blend or find it cloying and overpowering. Definitely not one for the subtle types, but an intoxicating head-turner for many.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Cinnamon, cardamom, coffee and praline build a heavy spicy-gourmand cocoon that thrives in cold weather. The density turns cloying in summer heat.
Occasions
Loud projection and syrupy sweetness anchor it to date nights, cold evenings and cosy weekend wear. Too sweet and intrusive for office, sport or formal events.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and gourmand sweetness make it less suitable for an office setting where subtlety is often preferred. However, many reviewers found it perfect for dates due to its sensual and alluring qualities, and its elegance suits formal events. It's far too heavy and sweet for sports.
