Never has the challenge of writing about perfume been so clear as with this one.

Chanel Cristalle is everything: fresh and zesty, very floral, yet significantly spicy. Like No5 but with a squeeze of lemon and lime?

It’s just the thing for this time of year: lovely in its lightness, soothing. So sophisticated.

Warm, spritely, uplifting. Like some of the qualities you look for in a friend!

Chanel Cristalle Eau de Parfum £52 for 50ml.
