Chanel 1974 EDT
Cristalle
by Henri Robert
Chanel Cristalle is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1974, created by Henri Robert. Cristalle opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Rosewood, Jasmine, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Oakmoss. Chanel's Cristalle carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.
Cristalle EDT is a divisive classic: for some, a masterpiece of cool, green sophistication; for others, an outdated, sharp, or even 'skanky' relic.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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and understated character makes it perfect for office or casual wear, often described as 'polite' and 'light'. While some find it elegant enough for formal occasions, the 'detached' and 'cool' vibe means it's less suited for intimate dates. Many reviewers highlight its refreshing quality for warm weather and even post-workout use.
